Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood chooses his Tracks of My Years with Ken. Plus, there's another round of PopMaster and the Love Song dedications.

Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood chooses his Tracks of My Years all this week.

As well as being a judge on BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing with the Stars in Australia, Craig's also a ballroom dancer, singer, author, director and choreographer. He's been a member of the Strictly judging panel since its inception in 2004, where he has a reputation for being the harshest of the judges.

Craig began dancing in Ballarat, Australia, before moving to Melbourne to begin his dance career. He joined the esteemed Lido Du Paris as a dancer, followed by a principle singer role at the Moulin Rouge. He joined the UK tour of Cats in Edinburgh and Dublin, as well as appearing in the original concert version of Jesus Christ Superstar.

Craig was nominated for an Olivier in 2000 for Best Theatre Choreographer, and again for an Olivier in 2003. He's also a panto fave, having previously starred in Snow White and Peter Pan, and just recently appearing as the Wicked Stepmother in Cinderella.

He’s written three memoirs and in 2020 published his first novel, Dances and Dreams on Diamond Street.

Craig will be directing the Strictly Come Dancing Live UK arena Tour 2023, and appearing alongside fellow judges Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke. The tour will feature many of the favourite contestants from this year, and it kicks off in Birmingham before heading around the UK.

Craig's next to last two choices are from Whitney Houston and Elaine Paige.

Plus Ken's got PopMaster and your dedications with today's love song. There's also the record and album of the week. If you want to contact the show, just email ken.bruce@bbc.co.uk.
