Strictly Come Dancing’s Claudia Winkleman admitted to three Saturday night habits she had to ditch when she took on the hosting role on the hit dancing competition
TV host Claudia Winkleman revealed three Saturday night habits she had to say goodbye to when she took on the role of Strictly Come Dancing presenter back in 2010 after original host Bruce Forsyth retired. The 52 year old, who is married to film producer Kris Thykier and has three children, admitted in an interview at the time that she is “like a little old lady” who was previously in bed by 10pm on a Saturday night.
Speaking to The Telegraph in 2010, Claudia described her pre-Strictly Saturday night routine, saying: “I’m usually in bed by 10pm after a long hot bath.

Fellow contestant Chris McCausland teased, "Pete, I've never seen you dance but this is your song!" which had Pete burying his face in embarrassment while the...
Pete also spoke about how special it would be to dance this week. He said: "I honestly can't believe it, I should be absolutely nowhere near Blackpool, but I'm over the moon to be there. More so for Jowita, she's given me so much in the past eight weeks and I know how much it means for the dancers to get to Blackpool.
