Strictly's Tess Daly leaves fans divided with 'bold' outfit choice in show-stopping look

Strictly Come Dancing fans were seemingly distracted during the recent episode, as they couldn't help but focus on Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly.

The dynamic duo graced our screens again on Saturday night for another thrilling episode. The tension was palpable as the remaining celebrities prepared to vie for their spot in the competition.

However, before the show got underway, it was Tess's stunning lilac ensemble that seemed to steal the limelight. Fans flocked to social media platform X to share their thoughts.

One viewer quipped: "Tess is dressed tonight like she's performing in Eurovision circa 2001."

Another fan expressed: "Erm, loving Tess's outfit," reports the Mirror.

However, not everyone was impressed, with one viewer writing: "Claud looks lovely but don't like Tess's outfit."

Last week, during the movie-themed episode, the pair left viewers spellbound. Tess dazzled in a shimmering blue bodysuit, while Claudia chose a glittery red number featuring a feathered bodice.

On social media platform X, fans were quick to express their admiration for the two women. One fan enthused: "Love both their outfits tonight."

Another commented: "Tess' blue sequinned jumpsuit #fashionwatch #Strictly." A third chimed in with: "Tess is killing it in that jumpsuit!"

Last weekend's Strictly Come Dancing not only showcased dazzling outfits but also marked the departure of Toyah Willcox and her partner Neil Jones, who were eliminated from the BBC competition. Reflecting on her journey, Toyah expressed at the time: "It's been the best two months of my life, it has been fantastic. I have enjoyed every second. And you (Neil) have been phenomenal, thank you so much."

Toyah praised her partnership with Neil Jones, saying: "It was immediate, it had to be Neil. I felt so comfortable and safe. You're a great teacher, you're a great friend as well. You've just given me a new zest for life, that's the most valuable thing I've come away with."

However, Toyah Willcox stirred controversy later in the week with a contentious remark about fellow contestant Chris McCausland, who is enjoying success on the show and is notably the first blind celebrity to compete. During an appearance on It Takes Two, Toyah told host Fleur East: "If you don't want to do a dance-off, get rid of Chris!" She added: "You're all going to have to face a dance-off."
