Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood ordered Toyah Willcox's husband to

Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood ordered Toyah Willcox’s husband to “sit down” during Saturday’s show.

The singer, 66, has been married to musician Robert Fripp since 1986 and is the oldest contestant taking part in this year’s contest.

Robert sat proudly in the audience during film week to watch Toyah and professional dancer Neil Jones tackle Poor Unfortunate Souls from Ursula the Sea Witch from The Little Mermaid.

After the performance, Craig, 59, told the pair they were “a little stuck in the mud, slow and lazy.”

Robert stood up and started heckling Craig, while Craig punched him back and told Robert to sit down with a smile on his face.

With the competition in full swing, the first few weeks of Strictly have not been short of drama and surprises.

Nick Knowles and his partner Luba Mushtuk received a bye for the fourth week of the competition after he withdrew from Movie Week due to injury.

The DIY SOS star, 62, will miss Paddington 2’s performance of Charleston to Rain on the Roof after it was revealed on Friday that she fell and injured her knee during rehearsals.

He was seen leaving his home in Berkshire on crutches alongside his fiancée Katie Dadzie while appearing to wince in pain.

His latest injury comes just a week after his future on the show was left in doubt due to a shoulder problem after he attempted to change a tire on his car.

Fans of the show were left furious at the decision to let Nick go straight into week four, calling it “unfair”.

Meanwhile, this week also revealed the results of the BBC report into Amanda Abbington’s harassment allegations against her dance partner Giovanni Pernice.

The organization found that of 17 accusations, they confirmed six, some of which concern Giovanni using profanity. The report found that his language could be “disparaging.”

After six months of investigating the Sherlock actress’ claims that he was “abusive, cruel and mean”, they finally discovered that he was neither abusive nor threatening.

They also said there was no aggressive or physical conduct, but the corporation apologized to Amanda after ruling in her favor on “several” allegations involving bullying and verbal harassment.

The BBC also agreed with Amanda that she sometimes seemed to give her comments that were too negative.

“It also concluded that there were two instances of ‘inappropriate sexual banter behavior in the workplace’ that were discovered and received as jokes and compliments from Ms Abington dancing. The review found that these were a consensual, two-way way of speaking and behave.

However, her complaint that he sent her a video on WhatsApp that she considered inappropriate was not upheld. The BBC found nothing sexually inappropriate.

Nick Knowles and his partner Luba Mushtuk were given a bye to the fourth week of the competition after he withdrew from Movie Week due to injury.

Giovanni said he was “happy” after being cleared of threatening and abusive behavior towards Amanda, despite some of his complaints being upheld.

Amanda has now said she is considering taking further action against the BBC as she spoke about the results of the investigation during an interview on Newsnight on Wednesday.

The Sherlock actress revealed she held a summit with other Strictly Come Dancing contestants in her own home to swap stories about her treatment on the show.

She said she and the other stars cried as they talked about their experiences working with Giovanni.

In an interview with Victoria Derbyshire, Amanda described her time in the rehearsal room, where she said she “lost all sense of reality.”

He added that he met other celebrities who previously collaborated with Pernice on the BBC show.

Meanwhile, this week also revealed the results of the BBC report into Amanda Abbington's harassment allegations against her dance partner Giovanni Pernice.

Revealing that she invited the group to her home, Amanda said: “We all cried, we all burst into tears.”

“We just wanted to make sure we weren’t alone and think this just happened to us.”

“Everyone I talked to said the same thing, it wasn’t pleasant and it wasn’t what everyone else was going through in the other (rehearsal) rooms.”

However, not all of Giovanni’s partners have supported Amanda and some revealed that they had positive experiences with the dancer.

The actress told Newnight when asked how she will proceed now that the report has been released, that she is “receiving guidance from my attorney on a day-to-day basis.”
