Strictly Come Dancing fans were left in hysterics as they took a look back at a blunder that Craig Revel Horwood made following a performance from fellow judge Anton Du Beke.

Strictly Come Dancing’s Craig Revel Horwood was “speechless” after making a gaffe while critiquing Anton Du Beke’s performance.

BBC audiences were treated to a nostalgia-packed evening with ‘ Strictly Come Dancing : 20 Fabulous Years’, honouring two decades of the beloved ballroom competition.

Hosted by Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, the special celebration had the pros, celebs, and a mix of current and former judges spill the tea on their time on the dance floor, complete with plenty of memorable clips spanning twenty glittering years.

One standout moment from just five years ago involved ‘ EastEnders ‘ star Emma Barton and Anton Du Beke, whose Austin Powers-themed salsa caught attention but not for the dancing alone.

During judgment, Craig Revel Horwood got distracted and made a blunder about Antons appearance.

Craig pointed out to Anton: “I slightly was distracted with the wig I have to say and the fake teeth that you have in.”

Flash forward to chatting with Claudia and Tess on today’s show, and they revisited that toe-curling occasion with Tess recalling: “Oh my goodness, that was such a moment.”

Craig coined it “teeth gate”, sharing a laugh with Anton who was flabbergasted by the comment: “I can’t believe you thought they were false teeth.”

The trip down memory lane replayed the younger, astonished Craig stammering: “They’re not fake? ” as he realised his mistake.

Shirley Ballas clarified: “They’re not fake teeth, they’re his own teeth”, while Bruno Tonioli couldn’t help but exclaim: “They’re his real teeth!”

Emma, Anton’s dance partner, found the situation “Slightly embarrassing”, and a surprised Craig Revel Horwood apologised: “I’m sorry Anton”.

Reflecting on the incident, Anton Du Beke remarked: “That is literally the first time I’d ever seen you speechless.”

Tess Daly admitted she had “never laughed that hard on live television”, prompting Craig to offer an explanation to his colleague.

Craig Revel Horwood stated: “Well I can only apologise. I’m giving my sincere apologies so that everyone knows at home -“.

However, Anton playfully interrupted with a jibe: “That you have softened. You have changed.”

Craig then concluded: “That I’m very sorry”, as both judges shared a laugh over the memorable scene.
