Claudia Winkleman has admitted she and everyone behind-the-scenes of Strictly Come Dancing almost broke down in tears over Angela Rippon agreeing to sign up to the show.<\/p>\n

The presenter, 51, divulged: \u201cIt\u2019s such an honour that Angela Rippon would say yes, we almost all cried.\u201d<\/p>\n

Claudia, who co-hosts Strictly with Tess Daly, 54, also branded Angela\u2019s fellow 2023 contestant Annabel Croft, 57, a \u201cnational treasure\u201d and praised the fact that this year\u2019s cohort of celebrities spans all ages.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnnabel Croft is a national treasure. Every single one of the celebrities is great. I love the fact that it spans all ages,\u201d she added to the Strictly Annual, according to The Mirror.<\/p>\n

Claudia also shared her excitement for the latter stages of the BBC dance competition, where the couples are challenged in new ways.<\/p>\n

She revealed: \u201cI also love it when they go to two routines in one week. I don\u2019t know how they do it. That\u2019s always quite tense.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d be absolutely terrible. I can\u2019t remember what I had for breakfast, let alone where my foot should go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angela, 79, has been impressing Strictly viewers and the judges with her age-defying energy ever since she began dancing with partner Kai Widdrington, 28.<\/p>\n

However, she has recently been at the centre of backlash after being in the dance off for the first time last weekend.<\/p>\n
