The Heartbreaking Reason Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly Never Wear Halloween Costumes on Strictly
Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly avoid Halloween costumes on Strictly Come Dancing due to a 2015 incident where Winkleman's daughter suffered severe burns from a costume fire.
- On Saturday, Claudia Winkleman, Traitors presenter and Strictly co-host, and Tess Daly, Strictly Come Dancing co-host, will not don costumes for the Strictly Come Dancing Halloween special, continuing their usual pattern.
- Years ago, Claudia Winkleman's daughter Matilda, then 8, suffered severe burns after her witch costume brushed past a candle at a neighbour's house, prompting her to seek therapy.
- Claudia, a mother of three, recalled hearing her daughter scream as the outfit "went up" in seconds, and on the How Did We Get Here? podcast, she described flashbacks as `Like a tsunami, it's so enormous you think you're going to drown.`
- Critics targeted the presenters for skipping fancy dress, but supporters rallied in their defence last year, noting on X that Claudia's daughter had a severe accident years ago and they haven't dressed up since.
- This year the show's Halloween Week again showcases striking wardrobe and makeup work as the series continues this weekend after Amber Davies landed in the bottom two and the hosts announced last week they'd be quitting.
