Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has defended the programme’s new presenting team after a mixed response from viewers

He compared Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe to relatives meeting at Christmas, suggesting their on-screen chemistry would improve with time

Craig praised Emma’s experience, Josh’s quick wit and Johannes’s insight as a former professional dancer, although he joked that Johannes had borrowed his beloved catchphrase

Motsi Mabuse has also urged fans to be patient, saying the new team is gradually finding its rhythm.
