Strictly Come Dancing star Vincent Simone admitted he was “crying” during last weekend’s show ahead of Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman’s departure.
In October, Tess and Claudia revealed they would be stepping down as hosts following this year’s series. The presenting duo said it “feels the right time” to walk away from the BBC One dancing competition in their announcement.
With this year’s final now just days away, Vincent admitted he was emotional watching the pair last weekend.

While speaking to Entertainment Daily on behalf of Paddy Power Games, he said: “Watching the results show, I was literally crying when I saw Tess and Claudia on the sofa talking to the judges. I’ve worked with both of them, and they’ve always been amazing.”
“There’s never anyone who could say a bad word about them. They’re part of the show’s incredible history, and while it’s always sad when something so amazing ends, it’s time to move on and see what’s next.”
The former pro dancer, who competed on the show between 2006 and 2012, also praised this year’s semi-finals.
