Strictly Come Dancing is back for its second week.
Strictly Come Dancing 2024 returned to our screens for its second round of dances tonight (Saturday 28th September), and the competition certainly kicked off with a bang as Tom Dean and Nadiya took to the floor.
But fans of the show were quick to get distracted by the outfits worn by Strictly co-hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, with many taking to social media to compare the duo to the characters Glinda and Elphaba from the musical, Wicked.
"Tess and Claudia channelling their inner Elphaba and Glinda for tonight's episode #Strictly #Wicked #StrictlyComeDancing," one fan wrote.
Another shared: "I love that Tess and Claudia have come dressed as Glinda and Elphaba. #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing," while a third fan wrote: "It’s giving Elphaba and Glinda #strictly."
Last week, JB Gill and Amy Dowden – whose return to the show has been much-anticipated after the professional dancer took time out from the show to undergo treatment for breast cancer last year – topped the leaderboard with an impressive score of 31 points.
Dowden and the JLS singer performed the moving choreography to the ballad When I Need You by Leo Sayer and earned a standing ovation from the studio audience.
The pair received eights from Motsi, Shirley and Anton Du Beke and a seven from Craig, catapulting them to the top of the leaderboard.

They were followed closely by Sarah Hadland and Vito and Tasha Ghouri and Alijaz, with both pairs achieving a score of 30.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the leaderboard following the first week of the competition were Toyah Wilcox and Neil Jones.
The pair danced a tango on Saturday's show, but it's fair to say it fell flat on the judging panel.
