Toyah Willcox’s husband boos Strictly’s Craig Revel Horwood after Samba comments

Must read

Toyah Willcox’s husband certainly wasn’t happy with the judge’s comments this week on Strictly Come Dancing as he booed from the crowd as they gave their verdict.

Guitarist Robert Fripp, whom has been married to Willcox since 1986, clashed with Craig Revel Horwood as he delivered his comments on Willcox’s Samba to Poor Unfortunate Souls from The Little Mermaid during the Movie Week live show.

“I felt it was all a bit stuck in the mud,” said Horwood. As he continued, his comments were drowned out by someone booing much loudly than the rest of the studio, as the camera panned to Fripp standing up shouting “boo” to the judge.

Horwood told him to “sit down young man” and to “control” himself, before host Tess Daly revealed it was Willcox’s husband!

As they all laughed, Horwood continued: “But you know what, you brought a magnificent attitude and a fantastic character to that dance.”
