With their stunning evening dresses, glossy hair and strappy heels, Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman are glammed up and ready for a return to the ballroom.
The Strictly Come Dancing co-hosts look the picture of elegance in a series of new publicity shots for the show which makes its BBC return next month.
Claudia, 44, sticks to her favourite monochrome palette in most of the pictures - one shot shows her sporting a one-shouldered white knee-length gown with bright blue shoes in stark contrast to Tess's black and gold plunging number.

Both hosts are clearly enjoying showing their glamorous sides, with another image featuring Claudia in a one sleeved black floor length gown and Tess in a black and gold frock with a sheer skirt.

The beauty, who is currently dating West End star Darius Campbell, added: 'I am used to being on the catwalk and campaigns of major fashion brands with lots of eyes on me but this is completely different from anything I have ever done before.
'My family and friends and I adore Strictly, so when the chance came up to take part - I jumped at it! I am itching to get started and am so looking forward to learning a new skill.'
