Strictly Come Dancing hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman have been presenting the show together since 2014, but some viewers weren't always convinced by the pair's chemistry
When Claudia Winkleman first joined Tess Daly to co-host Strictly Come Dancing , fans were sceptical about their on-screen partnership, especially as they were still fond of the legendary Bruce Forsyth, who had retired from hosting in 2010. Rumours swirled that Tess felt threatened by Claudia's vibrant personality, which could overshadow the show.
She speculated: "I'm convinced that Winkleman wouldn't have got the job if someone in the Strictly camp hadn't come up with the idea." Jane also noted: "Because when it comes to selling anything right now - films, TV shows, pop music or newspapers - nothing guarantees exposure like a feud between two glamorous, high profile women," reports the Express.
Since taking over Strictly's main show as a duo in 2014, Claudia and Tess – who have a 'secret pact' about the show – have been chatty about their close-knit partnership and the fun they share behind the scenesAnd in January 2022, Tess didn't hold back in marking Claudia's milestone 50th birthday, posting a heartfelt homage on social media.
