Fleur East dealt wrong Strictly result in Claudia Winkleman blunder

Strictly's Claudia Winkleman admitted "I'm not good at maths" after dishing out the wrong result during tonight's show.

The presenter mistakenly told contestant Fleur East that she was sitting joint top of the leaderboard after dancing with dance partner Vito Coppola in week 10 of the competition. But just moments later Claudia made the awkward admission that she had got the result wrong.

Fleur was then served the blow that she was in fact joint second on the leaderboard.

"I'm so sorry, I'm not good at maths. Joint second of the leaderboard, which is actually more glamorous.", Claudia said as realised her mistake.

"Enjoy that place. You can get involved with all things on Strictly...", she added before instructing contestant Will Mellor to take the reins.

"Will, you take over because I can't do this properly.", Claudia said as Will temporarily took over the role of presenter, before handing over to Tess Daly to continue the show.
