Strictly star Tess Daly on behind-the-scenes bond with Claudia Winkleman
In a new interview with the BBC ahead of the Strictly launch, Tess revealed that Claudia makes her “cry her mascara off” behind the scenes.
During the chat, Tess was asked what she’d learned from working alongside Claudia for so long.
Claudia has been a part of the Strictly family since its launch, fronting It Takes Two between 2004 and 2010, before co-hosting the results show between 2010 and 2013.
Since 2014, she has co-hosted the main show and results show alongside Tess.
“Claude and I have worked together for so many years now that we have watched each other’s children grow into young adults,” she said.
“Working with her is an absolute joy. What has she taught me? That I should never wear mascara to our script meetings because she has me laughing so much I end up crying it all off,” she then added.
