Tess Daly wowed in a red velvet dress as she hosted Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday night.

The presenter impressed in the stunning long-sleeve number whilst her co-host Claudia Winkleman joked she was in "full body spanx", as she opted for a beautiful black jumpsuit for the BBC One show.

Taking to Instagram ahead of the show, Tess quizzed her followers on who they were rooting for during week four's show as she showed off her incredible outfit.

Tess looked fabulous as she posed on a chair in the high-neck dress, whilst she relaxed behind-the-scenes before the show.

Tess and Claudia kicked off the show by paying tribute to Robert Webb, who quit the show earlier this week due to "ill health", as well as former rugby star Ugo Monye, who had to sit out of this week's show after struggling with back pain.

Opening the show, Tess said: "As you can see, Robert and Dianne [Buswell] are not here this evening. Earlier this week, Robert withdrew from the competition due to health reasons."

"Robert and Dianne delivered some fantastic and hugely entertaining performances," Claudia added.

Tess continued: "We're wishing you all the best Robert. We loved having you here and you'll be missed."

And discussing Ugo and Oti Mabuse not being on the show, Claudia added: "An old back injury has been causing Ugo pain in training, enough for him to receive medical advice. He has been asked to rest."

"We're sending you all the love Ugo and we hope to see you next week," Tess added.

Strictly Come Dancing: The Results airs Sunday at 7:10pm on BBC One.
