BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Claudia Winkleman blunder during close of show

A live show means that there is no hiding when it comes to a slip-up and unfortunately Claudia Winkleman suffered an unwanted blunder in the closing moments of Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday, October 1.

Claudia is a stalwart of the BBC presenting team on the show, taking her place alongside Tess Daly. The two hosts were back at the helm this weekend for the second of this year's Strictly live shows, as 15 couples faced judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke.

After everyone kept their place in week one, the stakes were raised this week and one couple was destined to leave the show. In a reversal of fortunes, Richie Anderson and Giovanni Pernice quick stepped up the rankings while bookies' favourite Will Mellor suffered a setback as his scores plummeted from 34 last week to 26, after his salsa was littered with a few too many mistakes.
