Strictly Come Dancing returned to BBC One with the results show and hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman were back at the helm. Following an incredible performance by Andrea Bocelli, the presenters emerged to introduce the show, but those watching at home were distracted by what they were wearing and took to Twitter to comment.

Tess and Claudia are known for their daring and brave fashion choices, in the past they have donned luminous heels and sparkly floor length dresses, but tonight, fans were not convinced with their dresses of choice.

One said: I don't get how the dancers look so amazing, and then Tess and Claudia wear the oddest things... #Strictly.

Fab-u-lous but what is Claudia wearing?? #Strictly, someone else remarked.

A third added: Claudia looks like a sack of tatties #Strictly.

Claudia and Tess looking hideous in those dresses #Strictly, another commented while a fifth wrote: why does Claudia look like shes dressed for bed? #Strictly.

While one tweet read: Can someone tell Tess and Claudia Halloween week has gone, them dresses are b****y awful #Strictly.

Tess dress reminds of a quality street wrapper, one viewer pointed out while someone else added: What does Tess have against dresses with two shoulders/sleeves? #Strictly.

Nevertheless, their outfits didn't hinder them from delivering the resultand it was Saffron who had to hang up her dancing shoes.

After facing the dance off against Karim Zeroual and Amy Dowden, she failed to impress the judges enough to make it through to week eleven.

Upon her exit she burst into tears and said: Ive had the absolute time of my life and its all down to him. Its been amazing.

Id like to thank AJ so much, when I look at what I was like on week one I was so embarrassed and shy. Hes really taken me out of my shell. Thank you so much for everything.

Her partner AJ added: Every single week youve approached it with a positive mental attitude and youve inspired so many on your own social media too.
