She paired her dress with a stack of gold bracelets and she and Tess draped their arms around one another. 

Claudia revealed the very surprising theme behind her Strictly Come Dancing outfits this series. 

The dancing show host, known for her trademark fringe and heavy black eyeliner, chooses a different theme for her style every year. 

In the past she has dressed as rock and roll legend Elvis Presley and even as the country of France.  

For the first weekend of the 2023 Strictly season, Claudia rocked a sleek black suit with white trimmings, 

One fan commented: ‘Looking fabulous. Do you have a theme this year Claudia?’ 

It turns out that Claudia has themed her entire wardrobe around snooker after one viewer commented that she was dressed like sport player Steve Davis. 

Since, Claudia’s stylist Sinead McKeefry has chosen snooker-themed choices, with the 51-year-old donning a series of monochrome numbers.

A source told The Mirror: ‘Claudia thought the quip was very funny and there are so many bright colours on a snooker table – including the green felt – that it seemed like the perfect opportunity to have some fun.’

The final of the twenty-first series of Strictly Come Dancing began airing on BBC One at 7 pm on December 16.

Cher will perform live during the final and viewers will be treated to a rendition of a new track from her festive album. 

The musical legend, 77, who recently spoke about her snubs by the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, hopes DJ Play A Christmas Song will be her first UK Christmas No 1.
