‘I LIKE TO BE SURROUNDED BY THEATRICAL THINGS!'

CRAIG REVEL HORWOOD AND FIANCÉ JONATHAN MYRING OPEN UP THEIR FESTIVE HOME TO OK! AND REVEAL THEIR PLANS FOR A MAGICAL SUMMER WEDDING IN A FOREST

- SARAH MORTON

Just 30 seconds inside Craig Revel Horwood’s home tells you all you need to know about the fabulous Strictly star. Glamorous decadence is the order of the day and the 55-year-old says he wouldn’t have it any other way. “It’s all very theatrical,” he tells us as we marvel at the opulence on display. “And being surrounded by theatrical things is where I feel most at home.”

Craig lives with fiancé Jonathan Myring in the stunning Hampshire mansion, which comes complete with lavish swimming pool. Normally the place sees lots of action around this time of year, thanks to Craig’s regular stint in panto. The cast and crew are usually invited round for a huge annual Christmas party, complete with “drag lasagne” – something we’re told Paul Chuckle was very keen to get stuck into one year! However, due to obvious reasons, all that is on hold. Craig was set to play the Sheriff of Nottingham in panto Robin Hood, but recent Covid restrictions have resulted in the show being postponed.

This year, it’ll be a turkey dinner for two, but clearly that’s not a problem for Craig and Jonathan, who got engaged in April. In fact, lockdown has meant spending more time together than ever, and it’s doing them the world of good!

“It’s actually strengthened our relationship,” says 33-year-old Jonathan, who also tells us the couple are now looking forward to a summer 2022 wedding, to be held in their own private forest! Well, we’d expect nothing less.

Here the pair discuss their divine decor, tell us why they think Anton Du Beke deserves a place as a Strictly judge, and share their festive plans…

Gentlemen, your house is something else!
