Strictly Come Dancing fans said 'finally' after hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly were given an intro on Saturday night's episode.

Viewers watching the BBC show at home have been left frustrated during this series to see Tess and Claudia's usual introduction and walk into the ballroom missing at the start.

Instead the show has usually started with the presenters already one camera. However at the start of Saturday night's show, live from Blackpool, fans were pleased to see the two hosts given their own walk on.
