As fans will know, Craig has been a part of the judging panel since the show's inception in 2004. Ballas replaced the late Len Goodman in season 15 as head judge, while Motsi Mabuse replaced Dame Darcey Bussell in season 17.
Former professional Anton Du Beke replaced Bruno Tonioli in season 18, after the former judge left the show.
