Craig Revel Horwood's frank account of his colourful life, 'All Balls and Glitter', which was first released in paper version in 2008 by Michael O'Mara Books Ltd, has to date a majority 5-star customer review rating on Amazon. Since its release in e-book version this year, it has captured the interest of an even wider audience.

In 'All Balls and Glitter: My Life', Mr Revel Horwood tells his unique and memorable story, beginning with his childhood in Australia and escape from the small-town home in Ballarat , to his current established fame as a highly respected artist and Strictly Come Dancing judge who is notorious for his direct honesty with contestants.

The book, now in both paper and digital version, describes how Craig started his career as song-and-dance man at the age of fifteen. His journey to fame as a performer, choreographer, director and TV star includes juicy details of celebrity encounters, backstage gossip and close relationships as he rose to the heights of show business. To date, he has worked with such legends as Dame Judi Dench, Julie Andrews, John Barrowman, Olivia Newton John and Tina Turner.

The e-book version of 'All Balls and Glitter: My Life' is now available from most major book retailers such as Waterstones and Amazon – the latter makes it easily downloadable for Kindle owners, at the affordable price of only £4.75.

Customer reviews on Amazon have so far been highly positive:
"Really good read! Not all about Strictly as there is so much more to Craig than that - but enough Strictly for the fan. What a life this man has had… it's a page turner that is for sure!"

"I would recommend this book to anyone who is thinking of going into Musical Theatre as it spells out in no uncertain terms just what it takes to be successful. There is a wealth of detail about the day to day, or month to month, experience of working hard to get to the level required. He doesn't shy away from the pressures, both personal and professional. Fortunately, this is tempered with anecdotes about the fun that is to be had as well… Then, of course, there are the names! Not casually and boastfully dropped in here, but given in a direct and clear-sighted way; he talks about stars as people, not icons which is wonderfully refreshing… The book also whips you along from page to page. The personal details are as fascinating as anything else, but reported without undue drama. It's a good view of a life."

Craig Revel Horwood's latest project is director and choreographer for the upcoming 'Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show' – it is a dazzling tribute to Neil Diamond and promises to deliver all the talent and glamour that theatre concert goers find unforgettable.
