Craig Revel Horwood proved that age was just a number during his latest appearance on This Morning.

The Strictly Come Dancing judge, who turned 60 in January, showcased his age-defying looks as he sat on the couch alongside Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard on Wednesday.

Craig commanded attention in an eye-catching black shirt, with watermelons and flamingos printed across it.

The professional dancer also sported a bushy beard, which he debuted during the last series of Strictly.

It comes after Craig revealed he is taking ‘some much-needed time off’ in 2025 to celebrate his 60th birthday.

Craig, who’s birthday was on January 4th, said he feels ‘exhausted’ as he has been ‘working back-to-back constantly’ filming the BBC competition and performing in Peter Pan pantomime in Milton Keynes.

Craig confirmed after finishing the Strictly Live Tour in early February he will be ‘taking a couple of months to himself’.

The judge said: ‘I’ve been working back-to-back constantly and I’ve got my 60th next year. I feel, now more than ever, I need to take a couple of months to myself.’

Craig also said he will never dance again, but doesn’t want to ‘slow down’.

He told The Mirror: ‘I’d be an idiot to retire. What would I do with myself? I love the show, I’ve become part of the furniture – and the fabric.

‘[And] There’s only so much cooking and gardening you can actually do and I’d get bored. I think I’m just going to keep working until I drop dead.’

Craig added: ‘I have a little bit of trepidation about turning 60 however,’ he admits, with a wry smile.

‘I know it’s just a number, but 60 sounds old. It’s only 10 years to 70 then and that does seem like pension time, doesn’t it? But I’ve no plans to slow down.

‘You can’t keep dancing forever; it’s strenuous. And I’ve had my toes done, I’ve had my hips replaced, I’ve had everything done, so my dance days are over.’

Last year marked 10 years since Craig opened up about major surgery he had that made him feel ‘invincible.

Last year marked 10 years since Craig opened up about major surgery he had that made him feel ‘invincible.’

Craig talked at the time about having his man boobs removed – medically called gynaecomastia. The surgery – which can be treated via liposuction or removal of breast tissue depending on the severity – left the star feeling relieved.

At the time, he told MailOnline: ‘I had a moob job. I used to be a C-cup and now I am an A.

‘It’s still seen largely as a cosmetic procedure, even though it can ruin your self-confidence. It did mine.

‘When I took up dancing in my teens and simultaneously became anorexic, they didn’t go.

‘Even when I had the body beautiful while dancing at the Lido in Paris and was working out every day, the flesh around my nipples still looked blubby and I hated them.’
