Claudia spoke of her delight about being chosen for the role: “I have loved Strictly since the moment it appeared on our screens and I am honoured and thrilled to now be a part of the Saturday night team … Working alongside Tess is always fantastic and I can’t wait to spend the weekends with her, our amazing dancers and the greatest judging panel on the planet. Sir Bruce is a living legend and we’ll all miss him very much.”

Tess also spoke of her excitement to be working so closely with Claudia: “I’m so pleased I’ll be working with Claudia – she’s long been part of the Strictly family and I’ve loved doing the Sunday show with her.”
