BBC Strictly host Tess Daly shares rare backstage snaps as she prepares for showtime with a spray tan

Strictly Come Dancing host Tess Daly shared a rare glimpse backstage as she prepared for Saturday night showtime with a spray tan. The 53-year-old presenter from Stockport posted snaps from behind-the-scenes as prepared to step back in front of the cameras for the BBC dance show.

Strictly is known for its sequins, sparkle and spray tan, and the stunning-mum-of-two beamed a smile as she prepared for her own bronzing session. "I take strictly prep very seriously…" she wrote on her Instagram as she posed in front of the tanning tent in a blue dressing gown and stick-on slippers to prevent those pesky mucky marks on the bottom of the feet.

To protect her bouncy blonde tresses she pulled them back into a hairnet. Tess, who is known for her array of glam outfits on the long-running contest, gave two thumbs-up and pointed out the gold embossed 'Tess' on the back of her plush gown.
