It's that time of year again! Strictly Come Dancing is back and we cannot contain ourselves for it all - the contestants, the music, the drumroll, and above all, the sequins!

The new pictures for the show are pure dynamite. Claudia as always, is wearing her trademark white suit (no-one can pull off this style better than the mother-of-three) and blonde bombshell Tess is looking like Margot Robbie in the Barbie film, sporting a gold sequin pencil dress by Nadine Merabi - everyone's favourite occasion wear brand. Stunning!

Showing off her perfect legs in a black, jewel-encrusted corset dress by Rebecca Vallance, the 55-year-old looked sublime, and fans loved her new look, which included a megawatt, Hollywood smile. Dazzling!

One follower wrote: "This glam is everything!" Another quipped: "Great teeth!" and "How can Tess Daly be 55?" Other fans added: "Gorgeous and glamorous. As always." and "Wow, just wow!!!"

Tess's teeth

Speaking of Tess's teeth, they look stunning. HELLO! spoke to Dr Sahil Patel, Cosmetic Dentist & Founder of Marylebone Smile Clinic, who said: "Tess has not publicly confirmed any specific cosmetic dental procedures, but based on her bright and well aligned smile, she may have undergone cosmetic dental treatments such as teeth whitening, veneers or composite bonding. Composite bonding is often used to repair chipped, uneven or discoloured teeth. It typically involves applying a tooth coloured resin material directly to the tooth, which is then shaped, hardened using a special light, and polished to match the natural teeth. Many celebrities opt for these types of procedures to enhance the appearance of their teeth for a more polished look."

Tess's Strictly Journey

Tess, who has two daughters, Phoebe and Amber, has been with Strictly for two decades.

Speaking about her incredible run, the TV star said in a new interview with the BBC: "I have to pinch myself when I realise it’s been 20 years since starting work on this brilliant TV show I was lucky enough to be chosen to be a part of. None of us knew at the time if it would work, and none of us could’ve foreseen its stratospheric success. It genuinely feels like a privilege to be part of such a talented team who work tirelessly to produce a live show of this scale each week."
