Strictly hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman brave the cold in Blackpool as they head to the ballroom for final rehearsals
STRICTLY Come Dancing star hosts Tess Dasly and Claudia Winkleman are limbering up to helm the biggest episode of the 2018 sereis.
Each year, the lucky celebrities and dance professionals to have survived the show thus far descend on unsuspecting Blackpool to thunder across the floorboards of the Tower Ballroom.
And 49-year-old Tess and 46-year-old Clauds look raring to go – as the live Blackpool episode inches minutes closer.
The stars have joined the surviving cast and professionals of the 2018 series to watch them take to the dancefloor for the judges and viewing public’s pleasure.
And it looks like the pair headed to the Northern city well prepared for the chilly weather.
Heading to the studios for last minute preparations, Claudia stunned as she arrived wrapped in a thick coat and a gorgie striped cashmere sweater.
The TV beauty beamed and posed with fans for selfies as she mentally prepared herself for another night of idle chit chat and post performance discussions with the Strictly contestants.
And Tess too looked glowing as she arrived like a beacon of light piercing the winter chill as she arrived in a thick-materialed power suit, sloagned top, sunnies – and brandishing a truly winning smile.
Tess and Claudia will hold together the upcoming episode of Striclty as judges Shirley Ballas, Darcey Bussell, Craig Revel Horwood and Bruno Tonioli give their feedback on the performances.
Ashley Roberts, Charles Venn, Faye Tozer, Graeme Swann, Joe Sugg, Kate Silverton, Lauren Steadman and Stacey Dooley are the remaining contestants still hoping to claim the worthless Glitterball Trophy.
While Pasha Kovalev, Cliftons Karen and Kevin, Giovanni Pernice, Oti Mabuse, Dianne Buswell, Aljaz Skorjanec and AJ Pritchard dance professionally.
Who will win Striclty 2018 is anyone's guess at this point as the level of talent among the remaining contestants and their dance professional partners has been high.
