Tess Daly lights up our screens alongside Claudia Winkleman on Strictly Come Dancing every Saturday with sequin outfits and her dazzling smile, and on Friday she shared an insight into how she prepares for the show.
Sharing two selfies from her dressing room, Tess posed in a fluffy bathrobe, posting before and after photos of her glam ritual.
"Friday = Strictly spray tans," the 54-year-old wrote, accompanied by an orange emoji, poking fun at the belief that Strictly stars are always rather luminous.

Tess' fans loved the insight into her weekly ritual, writing: "Oh, you beautiful lady -you need to return to Antigua for a proper tan top up soon!" and: "Looking beautiful!! Best spray tans ever, golden goddesses."
Clearly relating to Tess' ritual, this year's Strictly contestant Annabel Croft commented a series of emojis including heart eyes and the flame.
Tess has been pulling out all the stops when it comes to her outfits so far this season, with last week seeing the star wear an off-the-shoulder silver full sequin dress that mesmerised viewers.
"Beautiful dress. Really glamorous," one praised, while another commented: "Gorgeous! Your dress is amazing!"

As for how she maintains her ultra-toned legs, Tess revealed Health & Wellbeing that she starts her day with five minutes of skipping, explaining: "I don't like sweating much. I like skipping and trampolining."
"We've got a little trampoline at home outside, and that's great for getting your lymphatic system moving and for your circulation. Sometimes I'll do five minutes of skipping at the start of the day – one minute on and one minute off, and it's great, it really wakes up the system."
She added: "If you're feeling a bit sluggish in the morning, it's a brilliant way to wake up – better than a cup of coffee I'd say! And it's cheap and cheerful – just buy a skipping rope from Amazon, it's there the next day for a couple of quid."
© InstagramShe went on: "You can skip inside if the weather is bad, it's an all-weather exercise that really gets your circulation going, it wakes you up, and it keeps you trim. I like skipping, it's a joyful exercise that puts a smile on your face."
It certainly works for Tess, who always looks incredible.
