When Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman announced their breakup from Strictly Come Dancing, the current season of the pair’s career.
The British public where shocked last week when Strictly Come Dancing presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman announced they would both be leaving the iconic BBC programme.
Tess, 56, and Claudia, 53, have been co-hosting the program since 2004, with the former serving as the show’s presenter since 2004.
The pair addressed the news on Strictly last week, marking their first public appearance since their announcement.
We want to thank you for your lovely messages, Claudia, who hosts The Traitors and Celebrity Traitors, said.
“This incredible show will continue for eight more weeks and have a Strictly champion to be the best.” We’re looking forward to spending the series with you the rest of the way.
However, there has been rumors about what both presenters might do next and whether or not they will look for new businesses following their announcement.
Speaking to Hello! about whether she might join Claudia on The Celebrity Traitors, Tess joked that she didn’t think it would suit her.
She said: “I might not be very good at it because I do the world’s worst poker face. And with Claudia there, I would be looking at her to give me a secret signal.”
Tess, who received an MBE for her services to broadcasting earlier this year, also stated in the interview that despite her professional success, her main responsibilities have been being the mother of daughters Phoebe and Amber, both of whom she shares with Vernon Kay.
She continued, “I love being a mother, and it’s what has defined me for the past 20 years. I also love my job and I’m proud of my career.”
Because I value it so highly, I’ve never wanted to miss out on my children’s lives as they grow, and I’ve never wanted to hand that role to anyone else.
In fact, it is Tess’ MBE that one TV source suggested to the Mirror may have played a role in her and Claudia’s decision to leave the show.
The message was that Tess and Claudia wanted to rise to the top, despite the fact that the show is still huge and shortly after receiving MBEs, they said last week.
The announcement mid-season also gives them a little swan-song and doesn’t distract the winner from the story.
