He is best known for his harsh critique and disparaging comments.
And this dancing superstar graces our screens each week as part of the nation’s favourite show Strictly Come Dancing.
Yet when he isn’t judging Foxtrots and Charlestons the star is taking to the stage himself in his latest pantomime role, starring in Cinderella at the New Wimbledon Theatre.
The star was seen in heavy drag make-up while taking a puff on his e-cigarette and wearing a dressing gown and slippers as he took a break by the stage door on Friday.
But can you guess who it is?
A TV star looked unrecognisable as he vaped in heavy drag make-up, a dressing gown and slippers in Wimbledon on Friday – but can you guess who it is?
That’s right, it’s Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood – who is starring as the Wicked Stepmother in a Cinderella pantomime
That’s right, it’s Craig Revel Horwood.
The legendary dancer and choreographer, 58, is currently starring as the Wicked Stepmother in Cinderella at the New Wimbledon Theatre.
Craig stars alongside Pete Firman comedy-magician as Buttons, Britain’s Got Talent’s Alison Jiear’s as the Fairy Godmother and Small Island’s Daniel Norford as Dandini.
Craig was snapped taking a break from rehearsals as he puffed on his E-cigarette outside the theatre.
The star had transformed into drag as he donned bright pink eyeshadow, high-arched brows and dramatic eyelash extensions.
As opening night commences on December 8, the pantomime will run until January 7 as Craig juggles his role alongside the remaining two weeks of Strictly.
This Saturday sees remaining couples Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell, Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin, Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola and Annabel Croft and Johannes Radebe dance twice for a place in the final.
It comes after Nigel Harman and Katya Jones were forced to withdraw from the competition on medical grounds.
Nigel suffered a rib injury while rehearsing for his Charleston last Saturday and had to drop out of the quarter final just hours before the live show.
Craig has since spoken out about how the atmosphere has changed behind-the-scenes ahead of the semi-final.

After Nigel’s exit – which comes amid claims he had a furious row with his wife over his disappointing Blackpool score – Craig said it is now ‘very quiet’ backstage.
The judge, 50, spoke of how hosts Claudia Winkleman, 51, and Tess Daly, 54, are doing their best to quash the nerves as the competition ramps up with two weeks till the final.
Craig told Best Magazine: ‘Claudia’s like The Mothership right now, making the celebs laugh and giving out hugs.
‘Tess, too – but she’s more calming. They work well to prepare the nervous couples before they go on. It’s also gone quiet, backstage – there aren’t many pairs left, everyone’s focused on the prize.’
