I might be a celebrity but I've still got to have the dosh.
— Craig Revel Horwood
The BBC don't pay what they pay in America or on ITV.
Love Island' is for people who aren't celebrities, who've done nothing in their life and are trying to be someone and get something to be famous.
I love getting in the kitchen because I don't get the chance when I'm staying in hotels and on the road.
I danced with Courtney Act, which was absolutely fantastic.
All my ex-boyfriends, bar one, are my best friends.
Don't get me wrong, I really like being a judge on 'Strictly.' But my first love and passion is directing and choreography and I will be doing that until the day I die.
Ricky Whittle is fabulous.
Sometimes people need to think of themselves as lions or tigers. Even panthers.
My wife Jane left me for another man. Then I fell in love with a bloke. I have been gay ever since.
I like laying by the pool but I do tend to get a bit bored after a couple of days chilling out.
Strictly' is Saturday night fun. The pay's not amazing.
I like stuff like Joy Division and Verdi, and then some naff stuff.
Strictly' has evolved - there are such beautiful stories within each dance. We're not doing a ballroom and Latin competition, it's an entertainment show.
I was short and fat as a child.
I once called EastEnders' Patsy Palmer 'a scrubber in a Puffa jacket who cries all the time' on 'Strictly.' She said I wasn't actually a dancer. That wasn't my finest moment.
It's important to me that people don't go spouting off about anything in your life.
I go through the same trials and tribulations as anyone else.
But 'Strictly' is meant to showcase people with talents in acting, singing, sports, journalism… not fame-seekers with no discernible talent.
I'm tongue in cheek, but very much to the point.
My signature dish is seafood lasagne - massive king prawns, smoked haddock, cod and a white sauce.
Discovering that my great-great-grandfather Harry was Australasian clog-dancing champion in 1871 was extraordinary.
I'm a lovely person, considerate and loving.
I play the Wicked Queen in 'Snow White.' I'm not typecast. It's terrible. I should be Prince Charming.
People tend to think when you're at the top, you need bashing down. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
I met Prince Harry at Westminster and I want him to be my new boyfriend, but unfortunately I don't think it is going to happen.
I believe in civil partnerships as it protects each partner. Whether I believe in marriage is a different thing.
I'm on Grindr, Scruff, Match.com. That's the way everyone meets these days, three of my friends have got married after meeting on Grindr.
Friendly Fires were dull, and I wouldn't really sit down and listen to Hot Chip.
I've learnt not to expect a lot from supermodels - we've had them on 'Strictly' before and they've been horrendous.
The problem is most people in the world can't take criticism.
I was quite chubby, so when I started dancing professionally I had to work hard to stay slim.
The X Factor' - I watch it because I'm always searching for talent to use in my musicals, so they do all the groundwork for me.
I chose when I was 30 to change my life entirely and become a director and sit in the dark and that's what I love doing.
Buying my new house in the country wasn't about showing off or being something I'm not, like Madonna when she turned into the country lass with her tweeds on.
Strictly' is nothing like 'Love Island'… absolutely not.
I like getting blotto at parties but I also like being sober and I hate the hangover.
I'd adopt an older child, not a baby.
What would people be surprised to know about me? That I love cooking and chopping wood for the heating system in my house.
I grew up with 'Chess' and the music from the show.
For personality, you're not going to get better than Ricky Groves. He really goes for it.
With 'The X Factor' I think the audiences have lost faith and trust in it so that's its problem. You want to be watching something real and dynamic and something you can trust and believe in.
I was bisexual for a long time. I flitted between men and women quite a lot between the ages of 17 and 26.
The Thorn Birds' by Colleen McCullough. I took it on a holiday to Greece and just fell in love with it.
Celebrity is worthless and useless, it takes away your privacy.
Freddie Mercury made a lot of sense to me even though I didn't understand the lyrics.
The colour of someone's skin doesn't explain anything.
I was bullied mercilessly through school for my weight problem.
I've battled food issues since my late teens.
If I was to pretend my father didn't exist and I didn't have anything to remember him by, then it wouldn't be healthy.
