Strictly Come Dancing hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly apologised after slipping up during a “rehearsed” dance routine during Saturday night’s Blackpool special.

The pair, who are set to exit the series at the end of the current season, joined in with the judges to perform a short dance routine to Ricky Martin's Livin' La Vida Loca.

After making a misstep during the routine, the pair quickly apologised.

“ I'm just going to share this with the group, we genuinely rehearsed that all day... Sorry,” said Winkleman.
