'Schmoozer' Brendan Cole
Tuesday, 16 September 2008
Brendan Cole has been labelled a "schmoozer" who "isn't even in the same league" as George Clooney.
Craig Revel Horwood - who is a judge on TV talent show 'Strictly Come Dancing - says he finds it "hilarious" professional dancer Brendan, a renowned ladies' man, has been paired with British supermodel Lisa Snowdon on the show as he expects him to fall flat if he tries to flirt with her.
Craig said: "Brendan and I never see eye to eye. I think it's hilarious they gave him Lisa. Brendan thinks he is Mr. Schmoozer on the show. I think Lisa has a bit of sense and will curb any advances he might make.
Referring to Lisa's Hollywood ex-boyfriend George, Craig said: "I don't think Brendan has anything of what George Clooney possesses in the way of 'schmooze talent.' Brendan isn't even in the same league!"
The bitchy judge also revealed his thoughts on portly competitor John Sergeant, saying: "I think John Sergeant could just steal the title, darling! I am such a tease! Looking at his physique, he doesn't look like a Latin lover, does he? But then Willie Thorne was great at ballroom, so maybe John will be too."
On a more serious note, Craig is backing swimmer Mark Foster and former tennis player Andrew Castle to do well in the series, as sports stars are "used to training hard and working hard."
He added to Britain's Star magazine: "I love all people ballroom dancing, so I think Jodie Kidd will do well. And Christine Bleakley has a good chance because she is really popular."
