Strictly Come Dancing presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman are to leave the show.

"We have loved working as a duo and hosting Strictly has been an absolute dream. We were always going to leave together and now feels like the right time," the pair wrote in a joint statement on Instagram.

"We will have the greatest rest of this amazing series and we just want to say an enormous thank you to the BBC and to every single person who works on the show."

Daly has presented since the first series 21 years ago. Winkleman joined in 2014, having hosted Strictly's sister show It Takes Two since 2004.

"We will cry when we say the last 'keep dancing' but we will continue to say it to each other," said the duo.
