Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood revealed he got “st@bbed” in a horror att@ck while on holiday in Madrid, Spain – before he was strip-searched by French officials looking for drugs. Craig recalled the horrific encounter on his Judgemental podcast, which he shares with fellow judge Anton Du Beke.
He explained: “I went on holiday in Madrid and got st@bbed, that was nice, and it was stinking hot. My jewellery was stolen as well, they ripped my necklace off my neck and gave me a big burn mark… It was a razor blade… I was slashed… [in the] stomach coming home from a club, it was probably two o’clock in the morning, but that’s sort of normal, you go out for dinner at 10 or 11.”
He was dancing at the Lido in Paris, France, at the time, and had gone over the border to Spain for a holiday which “ended up pretty bad”.
Craig went on: “And then when I got back, I got strip-searched. I hadn’t shaved, so I did look a bit of a wreck, I’d been st@bbed, I had burn marks all around my neck from where I was, like, att@cked.
“And then the French strip-searched me down to literally nothing…. they were looking for drugs.”
Craig also recounted a disastrous trip to Kenya, when he found out his hotel had burned to the ground.

He said: “I remember flying to Mombasa in Kenya. It was all fabulous, I thought, ‘oh yeah, I’m going on safari, that’s going to be nice’.
“Got out there, arrived, all the hotels and everything were paid for in advance, they’re giving us a like a bus from the airport to the hotel, and they said on arrival, ‘your hotel has burnt down’.
“The hotel was burnt down, and no one bothered to tell us until we actually arrived. Anyway, they found us another one, they just shoved us in there, [and] I went on, you know, a very romantic cruise down the River Nile..”
