Strictly Come Dancing host Claudia Winkleman wasn’t holding back on the glitz and glamour this year, as she left fans of the BBC show floored with her latest ensemble.
The dark-haired beauty, 49, welcomed a brand-new host of 15 famous faces to the Strictly ballroom this year, including a range of soap stars, sports personalities and TV presenters in their own right – joined by host Tess Daly.
Claudia looked stunning in a floor-length gown which embraced all of the glitz and glamour of the programme.
The stunning black ensemble featured a sheer panel at her collarbone, which bared some of Claudia’s skin to the Strictly studio.

Fans couldn’t resist showing their appreciation for the Strictly beauty’s outfit of choice, and flocked to Twitter in their droves to show her some love.
One penned: “Loving Claudia’s outfit tonight, so much sparkle!”
While someone else proudly echoed: “Was Claudia really just riding a glitter cannon? If so I’m all here for her!”
“Claudia! That frock!” another posted.
Each of the 15 celebrities and their professional dance partners are looking to impress the panel of judges, which this year includes Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke.

They’ll also have the added pressure of wanting viewers at home to be blown away by their dancing prowess.
Claudia first presented the main Strictly show back in 2014, replacing Bruce Forsyth as a regular host alongside Tess Daly, but was at the helm of spin-off It Takes Two since it began in 2004.
Away from her professional life, Claudia is married to TV and film producer Kris Thykier.
The pair share three children together – Matilda, Jake and Arthur.

She and Tess had previously posed for The Times Magazine cover, looking sensational together in their own Strictly-esque gowns.
Claudia rocked a thigh-length silk green frock featuring feathered tassels at the hem, while Tess poured her curves into a bold white skirt bearing a sinful slash to the thigh.
She matched it with a navy blue sleeveless top and let her blonde hair fall in waves past her shoulders – and Claudia evidently couldn’t resist taking a bite of it as she posed with her mouth open beside Tess’s ear.
The presenter joked on Instagram: “Correct, I love Tess so much I often eat her hair.”
