Craig Revel Horwood recalls inviting Brendan Cole over<\/h3>\n

Former Strictly Come Dancing star Brendan Cole admitted he would love to be a judge on the BBC series but believes\u00a0Craig Revel Horwood would be hard to replace.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk on behalf of Sky Bingo, the professional dancer said “It would be a travesty for the show” if Craig left.<\/p>\n

He shared: “Obviously, I would pop my hand firmly in the air to replace Craig [Revel Horwood], but I don’t think that will be on the cards anytime soon and I\u2019m not vying for his job.<\/p>\n

“The show needs spice, you can\u2019t have it nice all the time. Craig gives that spice and it’d be a shame for him to leave the show because he is such a presence within it.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t think he\u2019s replaceable. If anyone were to replace him, then they would need to have Craig\u2019s humility but that little bit of spice that keeps everybody a little bit on edge.<\/p>\n

“You see how much it means to the couples when he gives good praise, they light up, which shows the show needs someone like him.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Craig hasn’t confirmed he is leaving the show just yet, he has admitted in an interview that he plans to retire when he is 60 – which is in two years.<\/p>\n

In a new interview, Craig, who has sat on the judging panel since 2004, said he was ready to “hang up his dancing shoes”.<\/p>\n

When discussing his retirement plans, Craig shared: “I\u2019m working hard while I can, especially as I love what I do. It keeps me on my toes, darlings!<\/p>\n
