Strictly fans can't take their eyes off one 'distracting' star minutes into live show

Strictly Come Dancing returned to screens on Saturday night but it was the presenters' outfit choices that had viewers talking as they shared their thoughts on social media

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 fight for their place in the competition.

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

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

Another fan expressed: "Loving Tess's outfit," reports the Mirror. However, not everyone was a fan, with one viewer writing: "Claud looks lovely but don't like Tess 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.

Fans took to social media to express their admiration for the hosts' outfits. One fan gushed: "Love both their outfits tonight."

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

Last weekend's Strictly dazzled with fantastic costumes but also marked the departure of Toyah Willcox and her partner Neil Jones from the BBC dance floor. Following their elimination, Toyah shared an emotional statement: "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 spoke warmly about her connection 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."

Later in the week, Toyah ignited controversy with a surprising comment aimed at co-star Chris McCausland, who has become the shows first blind competitor. During an appearance on It Takes Two with host Fleur East, she said flippantly: "If you don't want to do a dance-off, get rid of Chris!" before adding a stark reminder, "You're all going to have to face a dance-off."
