Summary

Contains an exclusive Q&A with the author, Craig Revel Horwood.

The third instalment in Craig Revel Horwood's frank and funny autobiography takes the listener through the highs and lows of the Strictly Come Dancing star's 'fab-u-lous' life. Join Craig and a host of Strictly stars - including Ore Oduba, Judy Murray and the unforgettable Ed Balls - on the show and live tours and get the real stories from behind the scenes.

The Aussie-born judge shares his famously forthright views on the changes in the show's lineup, from Bruce Forsyth and Len Goodman's departures to the arrival of Claudia Winkleman and Shirley Ballas, as well as the dancers and stars.

Away from Strictly, Craig reveals fresh heartache over failed romances, his pain at losing his dad and how his work kept him from flying to Australia for the funeral. He marks the milestones in his life, including turning 50 and moving from London to live in a 'gorgeous' country pile, as well as going under the knife for a second hip operation plus a few nips and tucks.

The multi-talented dancer, director and choreographer also discusses his award-winning shows, including Sister Act and Son of a Preacher Man, and spending a year in drag as Miss Hannigan in Annie. Plus, he reveals all about his foray into movies, choreographing Hugh Grant for Paddington 2 and making his big screen debut in Nativity Rocks.

With his famous wit and a wealth of backstage gossip, In Strictest Confidence is the perfect listen for all his fans as well as those of Strictly Come Dancing.

Enjoyed this book very much

Craig talked in pictures, I had wonderful images in my mind as I listened to the story. I’m sure he’s a lovely person to meet face to face.

Enjoyable story

Written well narrated superbly by Craig with all his usual bag of annunciations to really highlight everything and make you smile. Not my normal book but as a Strictly fan I had a punt and was pleasantly surprised it’s a brilliant book and worth a read.

A-ma-ZING

This book was simply fab-u-lous!!!! I’ve listed to it more than once, it’s so good. Every time I watch Strictly now I see him 𝑠𝑜 differently now. All the other reviews I agree with. As I was listening to the book, I found myself googling different things to get more of a picture. I suggest doing that as for me personally it set more of a picture. The best thing I found involved Craig and a certain Ed Balls iconic song 😂😉, but I’ll say no more

Fascinating

So interesting. Had no idea he did so much. Easy listening. Humourous, sensitive, sad, honest and intriging. Most enjoyable

Loved it! Please record the previous 2!!!

Thought it would be entertaining, it was much more than that.

It’s great CRH recorded it himself as it brings such life, humanity and life to the text. Loved having his company in my daily commute and now I wish his previous two books had also been read by him (please, audible !)

I usually listen to current affairs, history, science, travel and this was just so very human, with relationships problems, busy work schedules and floods at home... it brought the person to life and behind the scenes secrets on the pantos, movies and of course Strictly !

A joy to listen

This book was an absolute joy to listen to. I loved every minute of it and could not stop listening to it. In this book CRH comes across like down to earth, lovely family man. It made me smile often and I was glad that Craig narrated the book himself. It brought the story really to life. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
