Janette Manrara pays tribute to Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman
Janette Manrara heaped praise on Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman after they announced their departure from Strictly Come Dancing.

Janette Manrara will miss Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman "so much" as the hosts of Strictly Come Dancing.
The 41-year-old professional dancer has paid a glowing tribute to the Strictly co-hosts, who have announced that they are to leave the BBC show at the end of the current series.
Speaking on It Takes Two, Janette said: "Tess has presented the show since its very first episode alongside the legendary Sir Bruce [Forsyth], while Claudia originally presented our show before moving over to host the results show alongside Tess in 2010. They've both presented the main show and the results show together since 2014.
"Ladies, we are going to miss you both so much! But, luckily, we still have them for what promises to be the rest of a brilliant series and the Christmas special!"
Tess, 56, and Claudia, 53, previously announced their decision to quit Strictly via a joint statement.
The co-hosts said: "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. 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. They’re the most brilliant team and we’ll miss them every day.
"We will cry when we say the last “keep dancing” but we will continue to say it to each other. Just possibly in tracksuit bottoms at home while holding some pizza."
Sarah James, the executive producer of Strictly Come Dancing, also paid a glowing tribute to the co-hosts.
She said: "Tess and Claudia are quite simply the best duo of presenters in the business and we are so lucky to have had them as our Strictly anchors for so many years.
"They have championed countless celebrities on the dancefloor, led us all through two series during the pandemic but more importantly they have a deep and genuine bond with the show and every single member of the team. The Strictly Family is often referred to and these women are the matriarchs of that family.
"We have been together and supported each other for a long time - through pregnancies, births and deaths and to say we will all miss them terribly is an understatement.
"Tess, Claudia, thank you for everything, it’s not over yet – let’s enjoy the rest of this fabulous series together."
