Strictly Come Dancing 2015: Craig Revel Horwood fears Anton Du Beke may prevent Katie Derham from winning
Craig Revel Horwood fears Katie Derham will be voted off of Strictly Come Dancing if Anton Du Beke fails to give her the “right material”.
The 50-year-old judge said professional dancer Du Beke is ruining Derham’s chances of winning.
“Katie is fantastic - but Anton's got a problem, because he just isn't giving her the right material and he's wasting an opportunity,” he told Woman.
“The pro dancers aren't invincible, but sometimes they think they are. Anton's not used to being criticised, and he was rather deflated when we told him off for his cha-cha-cha routine.”

Derham and Du Beke topped the leader board on Saturday night with 33 points after impressing the judges with their viennese waltz to Elvis Presley's hit If I Can Dream.
It marked a stark contrast to the previous week which saw them secure a lowly 20 points for their cha-cha to Pretty Woman.
Speaking of the performance, Revel Horwood said: “It was like a bad internet connection. It kept stopping and it kept starting, it was very stiff, there was no hip action. Surprisingly, a lack of content”.
Strictly Come Dancing is on BBC One at 6:35pm.
