Craig Revel Horwood recently shared a harrowing experience where his residence narrowly escaped a fire incident, expressing gratitude towards the Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue team for their swift intervention. The popular 60-year-old television personality resides in a rural setting situated between Peterborough and Rutland Water.
In a social media post over the weekend, the renowned Strictly Come Dancing star recounted the close call he had with the potential disaster. He posted a photo alongside courageous firefighters and a fully equipped fire truck, emphasizing his indebtedness to the individuals in the picture. With an appreciative smile, Craig acknowledged the firefighters who stood by his side.
In his caption, he wrote, “Nice to catch up with the chaps that saved my house from burning down!” while tagging the Northamptonshire fire team. It was revealed in 2023 that Craig and his partner, Jonathan Myring, had sold their Hampshire manor for £2.75 million to relocate closer to Jonathan’s family near Peterborough.
Reflecting on his adjustment to the new neighborhood, Craig spoke positively about the community atmosphere in January 2022. He expressed his delight in the village ambiance, contrasting it with the isolation of his previous countryside residence in Hampshire, highlighting the newfound sense of community and interaction he experienced.
Craig had previously mentioned the extensive renovation process his new home required, describing it as a joint project with his fiancé, Jonathan. He expressed enthusiasm for personalizing their space and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere, differing from the minimalist and stark design of his former residence.
Fans can anticipate Craig’s return to the screen for the 23rd season of BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing. Despite prior indications of potentially leaving the show upon turning 60 to reduce his workload, Craig reversed his decision, expressing his deep attachment to the program during an appearance on Good Morning Britain.
Emphasizing his commitment to the show, Craig remarked that being a judge on Strictly Come Dancing provided him with unparalleled enjoyment and a front-row seat to exceptional entertainment.
