Strictly's Craig Revel Horwood postpones wedding for third time
Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has delayed his wedding for a third time.
Craig and his partner Jonathan Myring got engaged in 2020, deciding to wait until Covid-19 restrictions had lifted before getting married.
They planned to tie the knot in 2022 but then delayed the big day until 2023 to refurbish their home.
Craig has now shared that the wedding has been delayed until 2027, describing the wait as "the longest engagement ever".

"The wedding has had to go on the back burner again! It’s going to be the longest engagement ever – there’s a date in the diary for 2027," he told Woman's Own magazine.
"It’s been a right royal mess, but we’ll get there eventually, and hopefully our house will be renovated by then and the gardens will have grown. We want to get married at the house, so it’s important to get all that sorted before we do it."
He went on to add that he wanted his mum to be at the wedding after she was diagnosed with cancer.
"I wanted my mum to be here for it as well. She got cancer 10 years ago and was given the all-clear, but now it’s returned sadly," he continued.
"She’s not really well enough to come over this year, so I’ve said we’ll wait until she’s better.

"I have said that I’ll be going up the aisle on a Zimmer frame, but with Jonathan joining the ambulance service, at least I’ll be looked after! There’s a little bit of method in the madness!"
The TV presenter shared some insight into his wedding planning with The Daily Mail and his loved ones' potential roles.
"If my mother's still alive, she could do that [walk down the aisle]. Well, I’m hoping. I mean, that would be great. My sister could be my best man, so that would be really cool," he said.
"She writes brilliant speeches, and she's hilarious, so I think she'll be my best man. So we'll have to go on a hen-do. Or a hag do. I don't know what to do about that, actually!"
Strictly Come Dancing will return later this year on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
