Strictly Come Dancing viewers left in hysterics after Claudia Winkleman falls flat on her face in skit with co-host Tess Daly

Viewers loved the duo antics during the Strictly semi-final

STRICTLY Come Dancing viewers were left in hysterics when Claudia Winkleman fell flat on her face during a hilarious skit with co-host Tess Daly.

The resident funnygirl of the BBC reality show dropped to the floor but couldn't get herself up from the mat afterwards, leaving Tess in tears of laughter.

Claudia held onto what looked like a fishing rod and Tess said: "Every time you go near a prop you let it go and it's a disaster".

She feigned shock saying: "Not in the semi-final my darling, I've glued my hands to it."

The vivacious presenter was then promptly pulled off screen and Tess couldn't stop laughing as she introduced Louis Redknapp and Kevin Clifton for their next dance.

As she struggled to pull herself together, the audience also couldn't stop dancing as Claudia was in a heap on a mat in front of her.

She then popped up and said: "I can't apologise enough" before shuffling off camera.

Viewers at home loved it with many taking to Twitter to praise their slapstick humour.

One wrote: "Loving Claudia and Tess on #Strictly. Hilarious duo."

Another wrote: "Claudia and Tess just then. Quite possibly the best 30 sec of #Strictly ever."

A third added: "I love Claudia and Tess so much! That was hilarious. #Strictly."

Meanwhile, Claudia wasn't the only one dropping to floor on Saturday night as Bruno got so excited he fell off his chair during the show.

The flamboyant judge was feigning boredom while critiquing Danny Mac's performance that he fell to the floor and Tess rushed to help him up.
