Former hosts of the popular show Strictly Come Dancing, Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, recently came together again for the launch of Tess’s new activewear collection. The duo had bid farewell to the show in 2025 but reunited to celebrate Tess’s collaboration with NAIA Beach.
During the launch event, Tess, who partnered with NAIA Beach for the activewear line, appeared delighted as she mingled with Claudia. In a photo shared on Claudia’s Instagram, the two friends beamed at each other while Claudia showcased a blue vest and matching leggings from the collection.
Claudia, now appearing on The Traitors series four, shared the moment on social media, praising Tess’s activewear collection as “amazing” and “beautiful.”
Aside from the blue set, the activewear range also features a grey co-ord with an animal print pattern. Tess expressed her love for Claudia in the comments section of Claudia’s post, adding two heart emojis.
Although their final live episode had been filmed earlier, the emotional farewell of the former hosts on Strictly’s Christmas special touched viewers’ hearts. Tess expressed gratitude to the audience for their continuous support over the years, emphasizing the significance of their time on the show.
In a joint statement released in October, Tess and Claudia described their journey on Strictly as a dream come true and expressed their deep appreciation for the BBC and the show’s dedicated team. They noted that leaving together felt like the right decision and expressed their fondness for the show’s signature phrase, “keep dancing.”
Their commitment to this sentiment was evident during the filming of their last episode, where emotional tributes were paid to the beloved hosting duo, including a heartfelt message from Queen Camilla.
In her message, read aloud by Craig Revel Horwood, Queen Camilla praised Tess and Claudia for their warmth, friendship, and the joy they brought to the show. She wished them success in their future endeavors and encouraged them to keep dancing.
The touching farewell marked the end of an era for Tess and Claudia on Strictly Come Dancing, leaving a lasting legacy of friendship and joy on the dance floor.
