Strictly Come Dancing 2018: Claudia Winkleman WALKS OFF after playful Gorka Marquez poke
STRICTLY COME DANCING 2018 continued on BBC One last night as the celebrities tackled Movie Week. While most of the attention was on the contestants, at one point it was Claudia Winkleman who stole the attention of the viewers.
After Strictly Come Dancing couple Katie Piper and Gorka Marquez had performed their Foxtrot to City of Stars from La La Land they rushed upstairs to find out their scores.
The pair were clearly in a playful mood as Gorka could be seen nudging Claudia Winkleman in excitement.
However, it seemed to be distracting for the presenter who walked off as she giggled at his behaviour.
Katie were certainly happy when they found out they had a score of 22 from the judges.
Claudia was clearly thrilled for them as she noted: “Well done!
“Your happiness is emanating.”
Gorky could then be seen excitedly shouting as he stepped forward to playfully poke Claudia.
“Yes!” Gorky exclaimed as he celebrated the result.
Trying to move the show along, Claudia laughed: “Alright. Nine couples have already danced.”
As she went to continue, she giggled as she spotted Gorka stepping forward to poke her in the side again.
“We still have all of this,” she said trying to control her laughter.
Claudia could then be seen walking off giggling as a VT began to run showing the celebrities perfecting their dance moves.
Katie and Gorka’s performance came after Ashley Roberts broke down following her Dirty Dancing routine.
The Pussycat Dolls star was seen wiping away tears as she completed the infamous lift from the movie.
She was comforted by her partner Pasha Kovalev who wrapped his arms around her.

Ashley was also reassured she’d done a great performance by host Tess Daly.
But the star had no reason to worry as she stunned all four judges with her performance.
However, viewers at home were not as impressed and claimed she shouldn’t be in the competition.
Many fans of the BBC series insisted she was a “professional” due to her prior experience.
Strictly Come Dancing continues Sunday on BBC One at 7.45pm.
