London: So, guess what? Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman are sticking around on Strictly Come Dancing! There were some worries about their contracts ending, but it looks like the BBC has stepped up to keep them on board.
Even with all the drama surrounding some of the dancers, the show’s team is feeling positive about the next season. They’ve offered Tess and Claudia better contracts to make sure they stay put.
A source spilled the beans to The Sun, saying that after a year filled with backstage issues, the show’s leaders are ready to move on. They want to focus on the future and leave the past behind.
It’s a big deal for the BBC to have two women leading such a popular show, and they’re proud of that. They didn’t comment on the new contracts when asked, but insiders say it shows their commitment to the series.
Claudia, who’s been with the show since 2014, has made it clear how much she loves it. She joked that they’d have to pry the Glitterball trophy from her cold, dead hands!
In a fun chat on Kathy Burke’s podcast, Claudia shared a hilarious story from Blackpool week. She remembered a wild night out with some famous faces, where they ended up doing the conga in the hotel kitchen. Sounds like a blast!
The podcast dives into some deep topics, but Claudia’s funny stories remind us that there’s always room for a good laugh, even in serious conversations.
