STRICTLY Come Dancing fans were left concerned for Craig Revel Horwood after the first dance of the series.
The judge, 58, took to the dance floor with Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and the pros and performed to a medley of tracks.

But those watching at home were baffled by Craig’s appearance and branded his footwork “dreadful”.
One person questioned: “Is Craig injured? Where’s the DANCING?!”
A second added: “I wonder if Craig is ok though, he was a bit cautious doing his bit.”
While a third said: “Poor Craig is just dreadful dancing. Cringe.”
And another added: “Is Craig not a professional dancer? Looked like he had no idea what he was doing.”
Speaking before the dance, Craig – who picked to dance to Kylie’s Padam Padam – said: “It’s very exciting. I’m doing an assisted backward walk over darling, which I’ve never done before. Its when you drop into two boys’ arms, flip over and land — hopefully — on your feet.
“So that’ll be good fun. It’s really stylized. I really love the music and it’s a compilation and it’s all four judges going up against each other.”
Meanwhile Craig recently admitted he plans to retire in two years, telling Best magazine: “I’ll do that when I’m 60, hang up my shoes and enjoy life.”
