Claudia Winkleman says the BBC turns her Strictly outfits into hand-me-downs – and she has even spotted one on EastEnders.
The dancing show host was stunned to see Sharon Mitchell wearing her clobber in Albert Square.
Claudia, 47, and co-host Tess Daly, 50, dress to the nines every week on Strictly in a variety of glitzy dresses and trousers.
Mum-of-three Claudia is delighted her clothes find good homes.
“I love the clothes I wear on Strictly but I don’t get to keep them,” she said. “They go back to the BBC and I absolutely love it when I see other people wearing them.

“We’ve made that pact over pizza. We’ll go together, whenever they’re done with us.”
Claudia, 47, moved from Strictly spin-off It Takes Two to present the main show with Tess, 50.
And she says forming a female primetime duo is like a dream. “Imposter syndrome, I’ve got it in capital letters,” the mum of three added.
“Even if they phoned me now and said, ‘You’re done’, I’d still think I have had the best career possible.
“I think your mental wellbeing is affected if you compare yourself to others.
