The 58-year-old dance expert has been a judge on the long-running BBC dance competition since it began way back in 2004 and is back to cast his eye over all the waltzing, fox trotting and twirling for the 2023 contest. But while EastEnders star Bobby Brazier and former Love Island contestant Zara McDermott have already been singled out as the bookies favourites, Craig thinks Strictly fans shouldn't be too fast to place money on them going far. The acid tongued star - who has been a fan favourite on Strictly thanks to his withering putdowns and snarky comments - doesn't have high expectations for either 20-year-old Bobby or 26-year-old Zara. And he is more than happy to take aim at the duo ahead of the new series starting this coming weekend. Opening up to Best Magazine, Craig wasted no time in giving his honest opinion about the 2023 Strictly line-up. He told the magazine that he isn't holding out much hope for current bookmakers' favourites Bobby or Zara - and thinks Les Dennis will be the biggest surprise of the season. Craig said: "Les Dennis is going to be hilarious, isn't he? My prediction is that he'll surprise people, and that EastEnders' Bobby Brazier will have two left feet. Ex-Love Islander Zara McDermott I feel might be a bit awkward, too. Time will tell!" Reports have already suggested that Bobby and Zara have shown most promise in early rehearsals - with the Strictly professionals said to have been arguing over who got to be partners with them. While Craig will take his seat on the judging panel again when Strictly returns to BBC One on Saturday night, he has dropped the shock bombshell that he plans to quit the series after the 2024 seaso){kind=link}
