Strictly’s Susannah Constantine wanted to slap Craig Revel Horwood for his criticism on show
The 56-year-old was furious with the judge following some bad comments about her dancing
SUSANNAH Constantine has revealed she wanted to slap Craig Revel Horwood for his criticism during Strictly Come Dancing.
The fashion guru was upset with Craig's comments on her performance on the BBC One show and approached him to deliver a slap after some negative comments and a mark of just one.
She told Weekend magazine: ‘I wanted to slap him. Afterwards I went up to him — yes to literally slap him — but he was so nice to me that I couldn't.
“He said 'Darling, I've done you a favour, because the only way is up', and he gave me a few pointers about how I could improve for the next dance."
And she was also unhappy with Bruno Tonioli, who slammed her "car crash" routine.
She said: "Bruno is just white noise. It's just words from him. You sort of have to put in virtual earplugs."
The 56-year-old star previously admitted she felt like she had been "dumped by a boyfriend" when she became the first celebrity to be eliminated from this year's series.
Speaking on Loose Women on Wednesday she revealed she had dealt with it by changing her looks.
She said: "It is gutting, it is absolutely the worst feeling. I feel like I've been dumped by a boyfriend which is why I went and had my hair cut immediately afterwards. I had three/four weeks with this lovely man [Anton du Beke, her professional dance partner] and how lucky am I."

After she was given the boot from the show, Susannah went back to her hotel room and sobbed.
She explained: "I saved it until I got back to the hotel. I was very, very, close to tears and when I watched it back and you think the professionals are immune to all of this because it's part of their job but I watched Anton's face and how disappointed he looked and that was the time when I really cried because I felt like I had let him down."
