Strictly Hosts' Surprise Send-Off Revealed!

Strictly Come Dancing's final live show this Saturday will feature a 'huge' surprise for departing hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman. BBC bosses have meticulously planned an on-air tribute, which is expected to include a series of video messages and cameos from well-known stars. The surprise is being kept a closely guarded secret, ensuring a memorable send-off for the two presenters who have been instrumental in the show's success since its debut in 2004 and 2013, respectively.

The emotional farewell is anticipated to be a highlight of the show, with one insider hinting at a particularly impactful message that will 'blow viewers away.' Tess and Claudia, who announced their departures earlier in the series, have already received a moving video compilation of their best moments during a recent results show. Their long-time colleague Anton Du Beke shared that he remains 'stunned' by their decision to step down from their hosting roles.
