Craig Revel Horwood Calls Alex Kingston’s Rumba ‘Overmarked’ on It Takes Two

His blunt verdict reframes a week crowned by a Shirley Ballas 10 plus a third-place leaderboard finish.

Overview

  • Appearing on the BBC companion show It Takes Two on October 27, Craig Revel Horwood replied "Overmarked" when asked about Alex Kingston’s top-scoring rumba.
  • He said Kingston shows strong technique and commitment but urged bigger risks and "a bit more pzazz and splash," even calling some of her work "D-U-Double-L-dull darling."
  • Kingston’s rumba with Johannes Radebe to Tracy Chapman’s Fast Car drew an emotional response, with WalesOnline reporting head judge Shirley Ballas awarded a perfect 10.
  • In Icons Week, Kingston performed a Dolly Parton-themed foxtrot that Anton Du Beke described as "absolutely beautiful."
  • The pair earned 32 out of 40 for the foxtrot to place third on the leaderboard, with Craig also praising her maintained frame and musicality.
