But as judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Anton Du Beke and Motsi Mabuse all took their seats on the panel after making quite the entrance, viewers were quick to share their thoughts.

Last week, Claudia wowed in a pair of black smart trousers and a white silk look shirt. She also wore a matching black tie and white court shoes. She went for her usual heavy black eyeliner and sleek black hair.
Meanwhile, Tess donned a stunning black mini dress along with a turquoise ruffle detail. She paired her look with simple hoop earrings and full glam makeup. She finished off her look by styling her iconic blonde locks in loose waves and wearing a pair of black stilettos.

While the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing was already rocked by several scandals before it even began, one thing that has remained steady on the BBC show is the unbreakable bond between hosts Tess and Claudia.
This year, as the BBC One dance show celebrates its 21st anniversary, the duo will be marking their 11th year as co-hosts. And their on-screen chemistry is as strong as ever. “Tess has such a strong bond with Claudia,” a source exclusively told OK!.
“They’re great friends and both very career-driven, but they also have great chemistry on the telly. And they’ve got each other’s back – always.”
The duo’s rapport on camera is helped by the fact that they’re close pals off-screen. Tess has described Claudia as her “sister” and has often spoken about how much she enjoys hosting with her.
“It always felt natural and right,” the mum-of-two has said. “When you genuinely get on with someone, it is a joy to stand next to them because it doesn’t feel like work. It feels like an extension of your friendship.”
