BBC Strictly Come Dancing viewers forced to level same 'accusation' at Claudia Winkleman

BBC Strictly Come Dancing viewers have levelled the same accusation at Claudia Winkleman on tonight's Blackpool special. BBC viewers have accused Claudia, who is hosting Strictly Come Dancing once again alongside Tess Daly, of "upstaging" her co-stars.

Daly's co-host caught the eye as soon as she stepped onto the Blackpool dancefloor. At the start of the show tonight, the pair entered proceedings and took to the ballroom dancefloor in the North West of England from the iconic Tower Ballroom.

"Hello, Blackpool!" Daly said, adding: "It is such an honour to be back in the Tower ballroom." But all fans wanted to talk about on social media was Claudia's choice of outfit, with fans issuing the same accusation and complaint over her ensemble.

"After that amazing opener, Claudia walks on in that outfit and upstages that entire routine. #strictly," one typed. "So it appears Claudia is wearing a gold version of her fringe #Strictly," a second wrote on the social networking platform.

"Twitter going crazy over Claudia's gold poncho/kaftan in 3-2-1......#Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing," another said. "Claudia wtf are you wearing girl #strictly," another social media user commented while another said: "#Strictly Claudia’s wearing the Ballroom curtains. Still looks fab though."

"Oh dear what is Claudia wearing... looks awful why does she get it so wrong so often #Strictly," another posted. Later, JB Gill’s JLS bandmates were seen offering him encouragement, before he danced at Blackpool, at a rehearsal session with his professional partner Lauren Oakley.

Gill’s mother, who had so far been unable to watch him dance in person because she was recovering from an operation, was at the Blackpool Tower on Saturday to watch his quickstep routine to Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley. Judge Anton Du Beke praised Gill for his “great control, lovely technique”, but criticised his head position.

Shirley Ballas told Gill there is “so much to like with you”, and the “sky’s the limit” if he managed to get his positioning correct. Gill and Oakley received 35 points.
