00:00Hi, it's Claude and Tess. There have been some rumblings and we want you to hear this from us.
00:25Yeah, we have news. After 21 wonderfully joyful years, on Strictly, we have decided that the time is right to step aside and pass over the baton.
00:34The very sparkly baton.
00:36You've been here since the beginning.
00:382004, with Brucie, lovely Bruce. I mean, that's over two decades ago and a lot of that time has been with you.
00:45It's been a huge part of our lives, hasn't it?
00:47Yeah.
00:47Since our children were literally babes in arms and now they're young adults.
00:51And I think genuinely, we have cherished every second.
00:55We have.
00:55We're so lucky to have been part of this amazing show and we just want to thank the Strictly team because Strictly is the people who make it, so thank you.
01:05They are the very best team in television. We've been so lucky. And the audience as well.
01:09They've been so wonderful. They've been with us for this entire journey of 21 years and we wouldn't have a show without them.
01:16And they've been just so loyal and supportive.
01:18We are loving this series. We're going to have a brilliant series to come and we can't wait to get to Blackpool.
01:24We can't wait to do that show dance that we have long dreamt of and long to do.
