It appears the toyboy trend on the Strictly Come Dancing judging panel is the latest craze to sweep the dance floor.

For it was only towards the end of last year when Bruno Tonioli was pictured parading with his new (and much younger) lover on a beach in LA.

Now, it seems fellow judge Craig Revel Horwood, 53, has followed suit.

The Australian-born dancer has shimmed his way into the arms of horticulturalist Jonathan Myring – who’s 22 years his junior.

The duo were introduced by a mutual friend backstage at the Strictly tour just one month ago, and the rest as they say is history!

Speaking to The Sun on the moment in which cupid struck, he gushed: ‘We went on a date and now we’re an item, which is lovely.’

A smitten Craig – who is never one to mince his words – continued: ‘He’s absolutely adorable, gorgeous and super intelligent. It’s a bit too early for the L word but we really, really like each other. This one is definitely a keeper.’

Signifying that their romance isn’t just a flash in the pan, the Annie star revealed that he’s already met his new beau’s parents.

‘I met his parents last weekend, went out with all his friends and crashed a 50th birthday in the village where he lives. We plan on seeing each other a lot. We have all our weekends planned until Strictly.’

The news will come as a pleasant surprise for fans, as it’s his first serious relationship since he split from Britain’s Got Talent puppeteer Damon Scott in 2016 after three years of dating.

Who knows, viewers just might get to see a softer side to the acid-tonged judge now that he’s feeling the lurve!
