The 20th series of Strictly got off to a beautiful start when the show opened with a stunning ballroom performance from the fabulous professional dancers to the Nina Simon track, Feeling Good. And once the dancers head excitedly made their way out of the ballroom, it was time for Tess and co-host Claudia Winkleman to make their big entrance.

Tess started by thanking the professional dancers, the choreographers for the opening of the show and of course it wouldn't be a show without Dave Arch and his orchestra!

Claudia then welcomed back the audience to the show, saying: "It is so lovely to be back and for the first time in two years we have a full studio audience…" which earned cheers and
