Craig? He’s a pussy

EASTENDERS bosses will name a mangy moggy “Craig Revel Horwood” in the soap as revenge for his catty criticism of actress Kellie Bright on Strictly.

Judge Craig got his claws into Kellie, 39, last month, calling her cha cha “spiky and aggressive” and her tango moves “peculiar”.

In an upcoming storyline Bonnie Langford’s character Carmel Kazemi — a big Strictly fan — will return to Walford with a cat named after Craig.

The pet soon comes up against Kellie’s on-screen hubby Mick Carter, played by Danny Dyer.

It leads to the actor, 38, who threatened to “iron out” Craig if he is nasty to Kellie, yelling out his name.

Producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins said: “There’s an amazing scene where you get Danny shouting at
‘Craig Revel Horwood’ to coax him down from a tree. It’s genius.”

He also revealed Kat and Alfie Moon will return at Christmas after their Lottery win in May.
