BBC Strictly viewers point out Tess Daly dress 'blunder' just moments into the Blackpool episode

Tess Daly rocked Blackpool with her latest look as she stepped out at the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom. As Strictly Come Dancing headed up to presenter Tess' native north, she looked like a green goddess in a one-shoulder split-detail dress.

Tess, from Stockport, dazzled alongside her fellow host Claudia Winkleman on the BBC One dance contest as she welcomed the celebs and their pro dance partners to the seaside resort, hailed as the "home of ballroom." As fans swooned over her dress, saying she resembled Tinker Bell the fairy from Peter Pan, others were in a mischievous mood as they took to Twitter to point out a potential 'blunder' with the outfit.

@AlexJCall asked: "How long before someone photoshops something onto the green screen Tess is wearing as a dress?" And @Siiel12 pointed out: "Tess is wearing a green screen dress."

Last weekend Tess looked beautiful in a strapless bubblegum pink midi dress. The 53-year-old saw the compliments came pouring in for her vibrant look. As she shared a photo and a video on her Instagram cocomamastyle said with a perfect emoji: "That shade of pink is."

However other viewers were left baffled as they clocked the footwear choice of slouchy black boots with the figure-hugging dress. @PinkFlip15 asked: "Who made the decision that Tess should wear her wellies?"

@TinkyTink disapproved: "Just Noooooo #Tess them boots." @GhostyGirl84 asked: "What in piggin hell has Tess got on her feet? Is she off wading after this?" And @Phil_cheshire asked: "Is Tess wearing wellies?"
