Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman on It Takes Two
Tonight’s It Takes Two was a special episode dedicated to Tess and Claudia ahead of their upcoming exits.
Speaking to Fleur East, Janette Manrara, and the viewers, Tess and Claudia reflected on their times on the show.
Tess, of course, has been a co-host of the programme since its launch back in 2004. Meanwhile, Claudia has been heavily involved since the second series, also in 2004, having started as host of It Takes Two, before moving to the show proper in 2010.
At the top of the show, Fleur asked the duo about leaving.
“Has it sunk in that next weekend will be your last Strictly final?” Fleur asked.
“Short answer, no!” she said. “I genuinely haven’t had time to think about it.”
