With just days to go until the competition concludes, Tess Daly has let slip a huge Strictly Come Dancing final secret.
The presenter made an appearance on The One Show last night (December 17), ahead of Saturday’s grand finale, which will also see her take her final bow from the programme.
Tess Daly reflects on final Strictly series
“This year, it’s just another level,” Tess reflected on her final series hosting the show. “I think there have been more perfect 40s this year, at this point in the competition, than there have ever been before.”
“But there can only be one winner,” cut in One Show host Clara Amfo, who came seventh on the show herself back in 2020.
“And you, Tess Daly, every year, are the person that announces it,” she went on. “As a viewer watching it at home, watching you cling to those cards.”
“Yes, I am, I’m shaking!” Tess admitted, before dropping a behind-the-scenes secret.
