‘Fasten your seat belts!’ Strictly’s Craig Revel Horwood and Bruno Tonioli show off their driving skills as they tackle former steepest street in the world in new ITV series
They’ve worked together as Strictly Come Dancing Judges since 2004.
But for ITV’s latest docuseries, Craig Revel Horwood and Bruno Tonioli have left their score boards at home in favour of exploring Britain by car.
Immersing themselves in British culture, in Wednesday night’s episode of Craig and Bruno’s Great British Road Trips, the dancing duo take to North Wales to drive through the country’s largest National Park, Snowdonia.

On their way to their final destination of Holy Island, the choreographers head down to the Menai strait and cross over to the Isle of Anglesey.
All the while, they’re hugging the beautiful coastal roads and bringing along a TV crew to share the sights with them.
In one nerve-biting clip from the episode, the pair reach what was once the steepest street in the world, now the northern hemisphere, with a 1 in 4 downhill drop.

‘What about going up?’ Bruno teased before the segment finishes.
Each episode takes the duo to a different part of the country, where they discover local history, enjoy activities such as fishing and swimming, and sample local cuisine, all with the help of passionate local guides.
Their travels take them from the mountain roads of the Scottish Highlands, to the Lake District, the Yorkshire Moors, the Cotswolds, and the scenic Cornish coast.
Craig and Bruno’s Great British Road Trips will air on Wednesday at 8pm on ITV.
