Craig Revel Horwood wants Simon Cowell to appear on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
While ‘Strictly’ and Cowell’s ‘The X Factor’ are locked in a ratings war, with ‘Strictly’ currently ahead, Craig teased that Simon should appear on the show "he’d get more viewers that way".
He told Woman magazine: "My thoughts are turning to the Christmas special and I’d love to see Simon Cowell on it.
"He might need to do it after this year’s dismal X Factor ratings. At least he’d get more viewers that way."
And Craig thinks that Simon fit right in on ‘Strictly’, quipping: "Simon would fit right in on the dancefloor with those high trousers."
Craig has his own views on why ‘X Factor’s ratings are down, explaining: "I’ve watched a bit of this series – and there are some fantastic voices, but they’ve been given terrible material."
Simon previously claimed ‘X Factor’ would trounce ‘Strictly’ in the ratings because of the latter’s poor line-up.
Asked if he was worried about going head-to-head with the show, he said: "I hate to say yes because I know what will happen if I say yes, it will come back and haunt me … I think the show, just watching it back, it does feel better. The talent’s great, they’re interesting … So if it’s us versus Peter Andre, I’ve got to put my money on us."
