STRICTLY Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood wants the show to become even more inclusive by featuring ballerinas or people from the fashion world.

Asked if there is more ground to break, he replied: "Yeah! We haven't explored a lot of the communities."

The BBC hit has included many contestants with disabilities, including Paralympics champ Jonnie Peacock and Rose Ayling-Ellis, who is deaf.

Craig, 59, who joined the show at its start in 2004 and is now the longestserving judge, said: "Dance isn't just for 'normal people', it's for everybody any human being has rhythm in their body.

He went on to detail the new talent he would like to see.

"I'm just throwing ideas out here. Leading fashion designers.

"We haven't had a prima ballerina like Sylvie Guillem. Yeah, we had Darcey Bussell on the judging panel but we haven't had people like that.
