Viewers were left feeling very emotional about the return of the much-loved show Strictly Come Dancing.

One confessed on Twitter: "#Strictly crying already.."

Another said: "time to cry at #strictly let’s go."

"This song makes me cry without fail whenever I listen to it, they did not," a third added.

They went on to introduce the new professional dancers.

Strictly has welcomed Vito Coppola, Carlos Gu, Lauren Oakley and Michelle Tsiakkas.

Meanwhile other viewers all spotted the same thing about Tess Daly's launch show outfit.

The blonde presenter, 53, stepped out on the stage to meet co-host Claudia Winkleman wearing one of her trademark off the shoulder numbers, but fans all felt it looked a little unusual.

In fact, many viewers of the BBC hit felt she looked she was wearing a top made from a typical material found it kitchen cupboards across the country.

"What in the tinfoil is Tess wearing?" one asked on twitter.

Another chipped in: "Hands up who dressed Tess in bacofoil?"

"Tess's top is giving bust of queen Victoria," a third added.
