Tess Daly has left viewers delighted after she debuted a vibrant outfit on Strictly Come Dancing for the semi-final.
BBC viewers tuned in on Sunday night (11 December) to see the 53-year-old host and her co-host Claudia Winkleman welcome the final five couples back to the dance floor.
The show had been rescheduled from its regular Saturday evening spot due to clashes with the England vs France game as part of the FIFA World Cup on ITV.
Viewers had been frustrated about the changes, as last week’s episode aired on Friday evening, but they soon got back into the glitz and glamour of the evening.

While Tess has been criticised in the past for her shocking bright dresses, fans were loving her hot pink one-shoulder moment this evening.
Taking to Twitter one viewer wrote: “Tess should never wear anything but pink. Stunning on her!” as another agreed: “Tess looking good in Pink!”
As an enthusiastic fan said: “Ooh Tess is looking like a hot piece of Bubblegum tonight!”

Many viewers were impressed by both the co-hosts outfits, as Claudia wore a one-shoulder black sparkly floor length gown, though one pointed out that they looked like they were attended different seasonal events.
“Rare double dress excellence from Tess & Claude tonight,” one fan wrote, as another said: “Home run for Tess and Claude. Pink really is Tess’ colour.”
A third suggested: “Claudia is ready for Christmas, Tess is going on holiday."
Ahead of the final five celebrities taking to the dance floor, Tess took to Instagram to share her new look for the show.

It comes after the mother-of-two wore a neon yellow sparkly dress for the quarter-finals last week that many viewers likened to a piece of fruit.
"Jeez Tess in a colour that will make me feel sick for the next hour – yeugh” one penned, as another added: "FML!! Nearly got blinded Tess's dress. Need some sunglasses to look at her.”
Some fans did love the hot yellow moment though, as one wrote: "Gorgeous Tess! Love the dress too," one wrote, and another added: "You suit the lemon coloured outfit Tess you look fantastic."
