The Strictly Come Dancing Judge Craig Revel Horwood is taking to the stage to star in one of our favourite musicals.

He is playing the orphan-hating Miss Hannigan in Annie.

Set in 1930s New York during The Great Depression, young Annie is forced to live a life of misery and torment at Miss Hannigan’s orphanage.

Craig told ITV News that he is an actor playing a part, not a man in drag:
