Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel-Horwood is a fan favourite on the BBC show – but away from the dancefloor, he shares his life with his fiance, Jonathan Myring
Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood is often dubbed the Simon Cowell of the ITV dance floor. But despite his on-screen cold demeanour, Craig is a fan favourite, and much like Marmite, viewers either love or hate him.
Away from the show, Craig, 59, is far from idle, juggling various work commitments and a busy personal life with his fiancé, horticulturalist Jonathan Myring, 37, reports OK! The Aussie-Brit telly star opened up to The Sun about his romance with Jonathan in March 2018, saying: “He’s good looking, 5ft 10in, dark hair and beard. We met on the Strictly Tour a month ago. He came to the show with a friend, and we met backstage.” As their love story flourishes, Craig hasn’t been shy about sharing details. Opening up on Loose Women, he gushed: “He is fabulous and I love him, he is absolutely gorgeous and adorable, and yes he is 20 years younger.”

Craig and Jonathan got engaged during a trip to Tasmania. Recalling the event on The Steph Show in 2021, Jonathan shared: “It was a slight disaster really. “I had a beautiful engagement planned in Tasmania, and Craig refused to go and sit on the banks of the river to look for platypus. So I had to call him to frantically call him to go…” Interrupting the story, Craig joked: “That’s because the last time we waited for platypus, it was four hours and we didn’t see one. So I wasn’t going to sit through that again, was I? All I wanted to do was go back to the hotel and have a bubble bath.

Craig Revel Horwood and Jonathan Myring got engaged in 2020)“Well I jumped in the bubble bath and then Jonathan jumped in with me and proposed in the bubble bath with a glass of Champagne.” Revealing the news in an exclusive chat with OK! in April 2020, Craig was clearly smitten as he gushed about his fiancé and their unique proposal. “There’s such comfort in knowing you have somebody that loves you and wants to spend the rest of their life with you,” he said. “I feel like I have someone who has my back and I’ve got theirs.”
Previously, Craig was linked romantically to Britain’s Got Talent puppeteer Damon Scott, but the pair called it quits in 2016. Not all fans might be aware, but the TV star has walked down the aisle before. Way back in 1990, he tied the knot with Jane Horwood, although they sadly split after just two years. Speaking to WalesOnline, Craig opened up about his first marriage, saying: “Despite the perfect wedding, the marriage, as it turned out, was not quite so flawless. It didn’t last, mainly because our sex life diminished somewhat and I suppose that led to the inevitable scenario – Jane slept with someone else.
“I discovered the affair just before our two-year anniversary. ” Despite the rocky end to their marriage, both parties maintain they’ve remained friends, with Jane even managing Craig’s website. He continued: “We are friends now, Jane and I, but it wasn’t very amicable at the time. Now we can go out for lunch and talk about life honestly. I love her deeply as a friend, now and forever, and wish her all the happiness in the world.”
