Claudia Winkleman praised for ‘best moment’ of Strictly so far

Strictly Come Dancing host Claudia Winkleman has been praised for the “best moment” of the 2025 series so far.

Saturday night’s show (29 November), saw bosses introduce the ‘Instant Dance’ challenge.

After couples opened an envelope to reveal the style they’d be performing - which was guaranteed to be one they’d learnt earlier in the series - they had mere seconds to pick outfits and head to the dressing rooms.

At one point, Winkleman could be seen running across the dance floor to backstage with a pink costume.

Fans took to social media to praise it as the “best moment” of the show so far.
