Craig Revel Horwood wants Bruno Tonioli to stop stripping off on social media.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star has begged his fellow judge to keep his clothes on after Bruno, 63, posed topless in just his underwear on Instagram, and the outspoken panelist didn’t hold back with his assessment.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "He had a good body when he was in Elton John’s ‘I’m Still Standing’ video but that was 30 years ago, darling.
"He should learn to start covering up. There should be a limit to what he is showing people, I think.
"Bruno is in love with himself and his body. He thinks he has got the body of a 23-year-old."
Meanwhile, Craig insisted "everyone is entitled to their own opinion" after judge Shirley Ballas was abused by viewers following Catherine Tyldesley’s exit over the weekend, while Mike Bushell also received death threats when he was saved on the BBC ballroom show.
And the 54-year-old star suggested such a reaction was part of the world of social media where everyone has a platform.
He added: "When we started 16 years ago, there was no social media. Everyone now has an iPhone and they are tweeting."
Meanwhile, Craig has also blamed the viewers themselves for Catherine’s departure as he insisted they should have made their voices heard and voted if they wanted her to stay in the competition.
He recently argued: "We always do get the dilemma of two really good ones being in the bottom two. And you have to remember that it’s the audience at home that are putting them in the bottom two as well.
"It’s not just the judges, we have 50 per cent of the vote so I blame the people that aren’t voting.
"They’ll all whinge online and be abusive and then you ask them, ‘Did you vote?’ ‘Oh no, I didn’t vote,’ so if you’re that worried about it, vote."
