Shirley said Craig gave a grovelling apology after he is said to have told a crowd her breasts were 'hanging out' when she auditioned to replace Len.

Craig allegedly said while promoting his autobiography at the time: 'What happened is that she came to the audition and literally had her thing open to her navel. I am not joking.

'Her boobs were like La BaZooKa things hanging out. It was not very, erm, Strictly. So they came in and sewed all that up. Then they had to push them down... and they're fake.'

Lizzie said: 'You've spoken about them [the judges] a bit!'

'I was having a bit of fun with the audience but yeah I did say that stuff', Craig admitted.

'Yeah, well after you said about Shirley, I thought I'd cover up today', Lizzie joked as she readjusted her dress.

Craig added: 'It was all very tongue and cheek and with a wink, darling'.

The dancer was a member of the inaugural judging panel when the hit dancing show launched in 2004, alongside Len, Arlene and Bruno Tonioli, 59.

Despite his eyebrow-raising comments recently, Craig had full praise for good pal Bruno as he admitted it is the only judge he remains friends with.

Speaking about his future plans to get back into opera, Lizzie pointed out Bruno's similar love for it and insisted they should work on a new project together.

He said: 'He is a mad opera fan. Maybe we should do a show together.'

However it wasn't long before Craig took a savage swipe at Bruno, admitting 'working with him was torture'.

Craig added: 'Come on I've travelled with him and that was torture. Everyone says "Are you going to do another travel show with Bruno?" And I say well I think not darling

'It was hilarious. [He was] constantly complaining, I am the calm, he is the chaos.'

The full interview will be available to watch on Lizzie Cundy's new show on Amazon Prime and new platform Heard.
