Last night’s show saw Craig’s scoring differ quite a bit from his fellow judges’.
The star gave out several eights last night, as well as a five, and even a couple of fours.
He was particularly unimpressed with Cach Mercer and Maddie Ingoldsby’s routine, which he awarded a four, and John Nellis and Katya Jones’ routine, which also got a four.
Graeme Hall and Lauren Oakley only fared slightly better, receiving a five from the judge.
His only eight of the night came right at the end, following Dani Dyer and Nikita Kuzmin’s routine. This helped them top the leaderboard with 36 points.
Craig appeared to be taking no nonsense last night, even telling the audience to “shut up” at one point while they booed him!

“Craig what the [bleep] are you playing at,” a third wrote.

“Craig is ON one tonight! It’s like series 1-4 Craig has turned up. But I think he’s utterly exposed Anton as a judge. The guy isn’t judging, he’s fan-boying,” another said.
“‘Shut up.’ Craig is a [bleeping] icon, I’m laughing so hard,” a third wrote.
