Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly have been confirmed as the hosts of the Strictly Come Dancing results show.

Daly and Bruce Forsyth will continue to be the presenters of the main show on Saturday nights.

Winkleman will replace Forsyth to host the elimination show on the Sunday.

The new results show will not have a dance-off, but will will feature pro-dance performances and the elimination.

Winkleman was a guest presenter with Daly and Ronnie Corbett last year when Forsyth was off sick.

BBC controller of entertainment commissioning Mark Linsey said: "Strictly pioneered the Sunday night results format and this year we're back with the perfect finish to the weekend.

"Tess and Claudia were the obvious choices to present and we're really proud that a fresh Strictly will return with must-see, family event television."

This year's Strictly Come Dancing launches with a red carpet event on September 11, during which the celebrities will be revealed.

Winkleman said: "I'm properly excited about working alongside Tess on the Sunday results show.

"I'll be fully immersed in all things tango and sequin as I'm still hosting It Takes Two weeknights on BBC Two, too. They've just told me the lineup. One word. Excited."
