BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans stunned by Angela Rippon's age fear for Tess Daly's job after appearance

Strictly Come Dancing fans were left stunned during the latest live show as Angela Rippon made a guest appearance in the ballroom. The legendary journalist, newsreader and presenter made a special appearance as the dance contest aired a special episode in tribute to the BBC's centenary.

Elsewhere, Huw Edwards, Naga Munchetty and Graham Norton were also among the BBC stars who featured in a special opening of Strictly to mark the broadcaster's 100 year anniversary. Their appearances came as the show kicked off with the professional dancers and judges performing a routine that moved through numerous classic BBC shows including Casualty, EastEnders and University Challenge.
