Tess Daly left people divided over her results show outfit on Sunday night, as some fans compared her dress to a ‘bin liner’.
The presenter, 55, showed off her jaw-dropping figure in the black latex midi dress as she hosted the programme alongside Claudia Winkleman.
But some fans felt distracted by her choice of attire and claimed she looked ‘as though she come dressed in a bin bag’.
Meanwhile, other viewers thought Tess looked remarkable in her Sєxy outfit and flurried the star’s comments with compliments.
Some comments read: ‘Obsessed’, ‘One word…Perfection!!!’, ‘Look fabulous as always Tess’.

‘What is Tess wearing? Bin liner? Sorry. #strictly’,
‘Just remembered it’s bin day tomorrow. Thanks Tess. #strictly’.
Tess recently hired a new stylist to spice up her Strictly wardrobe after a series of her fashion choices received negative online comments.
She has swapped James Yardley, known for his edgier looks, for Laury Smith, who is bringing a classic and glamorous style to her Saturday night outfits.
Though a fashion role model to millions, Tess has faced harsh criticism from some viewers during previous series.
One said a pair of black faux leather £99 trousers from John Lewis that Tess wore on the show last year looked like a ‘bin liner’, or as if she had borrowed them from a Cornish fisherman.
Meanwhile, a purple Galvan London dress with a thigh-split that she wore in 2020 drew comparisons to ‘a Quality Street wrapper’, and another dress of hers was likened to ‘Bacofoil’ in 2021.
Another commented online: ‘It shouldn’t be so hard to dress a beautiful woman.’

However, Tess’ outfit earlier this month – which featured a dark blue jumpsuit by Australian fashion brand Nookie and jewellery by Missoma – was a hit.
One viewer summed up opinion, saying: ‘Tess has never looked more beautiful! How is she getting younger every series.’
Another wrote of her new style: ‘She doesn’t look like the ‘poor relation’ next to Claudia [Winkleman] now: well done, Laury.’
The Stockport-born star has co-presented Strictly Come Dancing since it began in 2004.
Her new wardrobe from Ms Smith this series has featured tailored designer jumpsuits from Alexander McQueen to stunning figure-flattering dresses from designers including Lavish Alice and Rebecca Vallance.
Ms Smith has worked with the likes of Lady Gaga, Jessie J and singer Alesha Dixon, who won the fifth series of Strictly in 2007. She has also worked as a costume designer on ITV’s The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent.
Not everyone has praised the wardrobe shake-up, though.
Mr Yardley, who worked on several series with Tess, said: ‘I’d hate to be predictable and I’m unapologetic about my decisions.’
He is currently working with Olympic diver Tom Daley and actress Hannah Waddingham.

Eagle-eyed Strictly viewers have noticed Tess has not shown her knees yet this series.
Cruel critics previously said her knees had been ‘declared a Unesco world heritage site’ and compared them to conkers.
A source said: ‘Tess’s reason for switching is intriguing. Possibly, she wants a sophisticated, more fashion-forward look. She has gone all out with Laury and it’s getting rave reviews.’
