Craig Revel Horwood: I was a rent boy with a sugar daddy

Strictly Come Dancing judge slept with famous presenter

Craig Revel Horwood revealed in his autobiography that he sold sex as a 17-year-old rent boy

Craig Revel Horwood has revealed that he had a relationship with a famous Australian TV presenter when he worked as a rent boy in his teens.

The Strictly Come Dancing judge reveals he would love to name his sugar daddy so he can publicly thank him for helping him get into showbiz.

'I only had the one client – I do have certain morals,’ he says. ‘It was like the casting couch, so it was the best thing that ever happened to me.’

Craig, 43, adds that contrary to most beliefs he’s actually bisexual.

‘I actually like having sex with women as well as men,’ he tells You magazine. ‘People like you to be one thing or the other – either gay or straight.

‘But I’m monogamous, so if I’m with someone, I don’t stray.’
