| Updated:

Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has confirmed he’s in a new relationship with an “adorable” horticulturist.

The 53-year-old told The Sun he’d met Jonathan Myring – who is 22 years younger than him – backstage at the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour, after Jonathan went to a show with pals.

Craig described Jonathan as “absolutely adorable and gorgeous”.

The smitten star added: “He’s good-looking, 5ft 10in, dark hair and beard… We get on really well, the conversation is fantastic, he’s really sociable.

“He’s genuine, open and loving, it’s wonderful.”

And already things appear to be serious as Craig confirmed he and Jonathan have met each other’s families. Aww!

Craig was previously in a relationship with puppeteer Damon Scott. They split in 2016 after a three-year relationship.

Last year, he spoke about being ready to date again, and said he’d embraced technology in a bid to find love.

Craig told The Mirror that he’d joined a dating app but it hadn’t gone “particularly well” as he’d struggling to find people who actually wanted to get to know him. Bless.

He explained: “People don’t ask if I want to go out, it’s all about Strictly.

“It’s odd me being on there but why can’t I, if everyone else is? Just because I’m in the public eye doesn’t mean I can’t be on dating sites.”

Craig went on to say his profile had a “lot of complaints” from angry daters who thought he was an impostor using fake photos. Oops.

“One said, ‘I’m reporting you for using someone else’s photo, it’s disgusting, you should be ashamed’. I replied, ‘I am me!’”

Craig’s fans will no doubt be thrilled to see him so happy again!
