Strictly 2019: Claudia Winkleman left red-faced as Oti saves her after awkward blunder

Strictly Come Dancing will see Kelvin Fletcher, Karim Zeroual or Emma Barton lift the Glitterball Trophy tonight. So far, the grand finale has consisted of emotional Showdances, quick Quicksteps and jovial Jives. But the viewers, live audience and judges were not the only ones who were going wild as it seems the excitement overwhelmed host Claudia Winkleman when she made a blunder live on air. 

While Tess Daly joins the couples on the dance floor for the feedback from the judges, Claudia is upstairs with all the professional dancers and the former celebrity contestants ready to welcome the couple for the scores. 

Following an incredible show dance from Kelvin and Oti, they joined Claudia upstairs. 

Claudia kicked off the quick chat with: “Kelvin, I mean Motsi [Mabuse] was in tears, up here it was like a rocket shot off! I mean, Oti, giving you a show dance is like literally just going ‘go for it baby.’”

Turning to Oti she said: “You didn’t keep it easy for him!”

Bruno Tonioli said: “Rocked! Shaken! Stirred! Exhilarated! But actually, it was almost like watching 13 weeks of all the best of Strictly Come Dancing, condensed into one dance. 

“We often ask ‘we need more content’ – content? You can’t ask for anything more!” 

“I loved every single minute of that!” Craig Revel Horwood stated calmly. 

“Well usually, I can go on about things, but you guys, I have no words, really. That left me…” Motsi Mabuse tried to explain but was reduced to tears.
