Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman Strictly exit LIVE: BBC breaks silence on hosts' exit

Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly have confirmed they have quit as the hosts for Strictly Come Dancing. The hosts shared a joint statement that read: "We have loved working as a duo and hosting Strictly has been an absolute dream.
We were always going to leave together and now feels like the right time.

"We will have the greatest rest of this amazing series and we just want to say an enormous thank you to the BBC and to every single person who works on the show.

"They're the most brilliant team and we'll miss them every day. We will cry when we say the last "keep dancing" but we will continue to say it to each other. Just possibly in tracksuit bottoms at home while holding some pizza."

Tess and Claudia both issued separate statements to confirm their respective exits.
