BBC Strictly Come Dancing presenter Claudia Winkleman's outfit makes viewers 'feel sick'

Claudia Winkleman left some Strictly Come Dancing viewers feeling "sick" after she wore a pair of silver glittery trousers last night (October 8). Fans of the BBC show took to social media to share their thoughts on the presenter's clothing choice.

The Twitter comments varied from people advising her to "think twice" about wearing them again to others describing her outfit as "bizarre". One fan said: "Not keen on Claudia’s trousers tonight #Strictly."

As reported by Devon Live, "I adore Claudia, but those trousers #Strictly." A third viewer, who clearly sees themselves as a fashion expert, wasn't just offended by Claudia trousers but also her white blazer.

They said: "@bbcstrictly I’d have thought twice about wearing that blazer with those trousers Claudia." A fourth, possibly being a little dramatic, wrote: "Claudia's trousers make me feel sick #StrictlyComeDancing."

And a final fan, who has clearly been tracking Claudia's outfits for the past few weeks, said: "Ah, yet more bizarre trousers for Claudia and no movement on the final beat of the @bbcstrictly theme music from Claudia and Tess - it’s NOT difficult, ladies! It is a dance show after all!!"

But not everyone agreed. One supporter of sparkly outfits said: "Oooh Tess. That sparkly trouser suit is lush. Like Claudia’s glitter trousers too #Strictly #fashionwatch."

Last night's episode was "Movie Night" and, speaking of fashion choices, one pair who were also in for a social media battering was Richie Anderson and Giovanni Pernice. Richie and Giovanni performed the Samba to 'Hakuna Matata' from The Lion King.

And in true Strictly style they had to be styled accordingly - as Timon and Pumbaa. One person simply said: "Watching Strictly and don’t think much of the Lion King."

Another person said Richie and Giovanni looked more like the "Gruffalo". They said: "My mum just asked me why the Gruffalo is in The Lion King."

But others were much kinder. One person said: "Yesss they've gone alllll out on costumes this week! @bbcstrictly."

"It’s right up Ritchies street to do the lion king isn’t it," before another agreed, saying: "Definitely "hakuna matata" on the dance floor!! Loved loved loved it!!"
