Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood is to undergo a second hip replacement operation this week, after having his first one in 2013.
A representative for the dancer confirmed to The Mirror: “He is indeed having his second hip replacement operation this week.”
Craig has frequently spoken out about how his rigorous dance routines have had a ‘detrimental’ effect on his body over time.
“It’s all those years of can-cans and dropping the splits. Classical ballet can be quite detrimental to your body,” he once told BBC Breakfast.
He underwent his first hip replacement operation in 2013, and the gruelling recovery process saw him bound to a wheelchair, followed by crutches, before he was able to get back into his dancing shoes.
The formidable judge revealed how he has been living in pain after the hip that is due to operated on initially swelled up last summer, but he was reluctant to undergo surgery then due to his work commitments.
