The former pro dancer and Strictly Come Dancing judge says he “doesn’t like the concept” of ordering a take away.He shocked pal Craig Revel Horwood with his comments and insisted his kids never beg for the chance of fast food either. Anton said “I don’t like takeaways, I don’t like the principle of a takeaway. I don’t like the concept. It seems alien to me. I can’t bear all that stuff.”He said as a youngster he might have had a Chinese take away but not now. Anton added: “I’d rather just go to a restaurant. No, it is not for me.”When Craig asked if his kids ever asked for take away pizza, Anton replied: “Never even utter the words,” but went on to say he would not let them.By contrast Craig says a double pepperoni pizza is one of his downfalls when he is trying to keep weight off and he now sometimes has to wear elasticated trousers.He said: “My guilty pleasure is double pepperoni pizza. It’s bad news because I keep buying them in the supermarket and I keep putting them in the oven and I keep eating them.“I need to stop myself. I don’t do it all the time, only on special occasions.”Anton and Craig were speaking on their new Judgemental podcasts, with Craig revealing he is off on holidays to Corfu and Bali soon to get some rest before they both return to our TV screens on Strictly Come Dancing.Last week the pair told how they are so close as Strictly judges they say they often strip in front of each other in the dressing rooms. Anton said: “Of course we work together closely, and it is a very odd sort of thing.”Craig added: “We have to actually undress in front of one another. I mean, most people, when they go to the office, they don't take all their clothes off and put other clothes back on, do they, darling?”Article continues belowAnton then added: “We do have quite a unique working environment. And an experience. Well, once you've seen Craig Revel Horwood in his underwear once, you've seen him a thousand times.”Like this story?
