Strictly fans baffled as Tess Daly wears 'Bacofoil curtain' top for launch show

Strictly Come Dancing fans were torn over Tess Daly's choice of outfit as the 2022 show launched on Friday night.

The highly-anticipated dance show finally returned to BBC One with Tess and her co-host Claudia Winkleman welcoming a new batch of celebrities to the floor.

Mother-of-two Tess opted for a pair of white tailored trousers for the occasion and paired them with a one-shouldered gold top.

The one long sleeve of the garment was seriously oversized and also featured a tasseled train which draped behind Tess' petite figure.

Tess, 53, accessorised the shimmery top with a pair of gold glittery heels and matching hoop earrings as she introduced the Strictly Come Dancing judges.

Despite being very excited about a new series of the show, viewers were slightly distracted by Tess' attire and took to Twitter to comment.

"Tess couldn’t find the other curtain. #Strictly," one person joked, while another said: "what in the tinfoil is Tess #Strictly #scd."

Someone else mocked: "I see there wasn’t enough white fabric to make Tess a top #Strictly," while a fourth person added: "Tess is wearing curtains again #Strictly."

A different viewer joked: "Hands up who dressed Tess in bacofoil? #Strictly," while another Strictly fan said: "Who dresses Tess and why do they still have a job? #Strictly."

Someone else joked: "Didn't they have time to finish Tess' outfit? #Strictly."

Meanwhile, Tess' co-host Claudia opted to wear very similar white trousers but paired hers with a sleek matching blazer and an impressive tan.

Claudia was left blushing during the launch show when she enjoyed an exchange with new professional dancer Carlos Gu.

During a chat with the newbies, Claudia said to Carlos: "You have come straight from competition world. Do you have a favourite dance?"

When Carlos told her it was the Rumba, Claudia was quick to ask him why.

Grabbing the dark-haired presenter, Carlos said: "Look at me darling, you feel the sensual touching..."

Giggling nervously, Claudia exclaimed: "I think I am pregnant!" as the rest of the dancers laughed.

Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday 24 September at 6:45pm on BBC One.
