She gave the show a pzazz that was somehow all about the show whereas with Claudia it's always all about her. The partnership is much better too. How ever much people like Claudia (and I do, although not on SCD) the Tess partnership just doesn't work.

I have to say I prefer Zoe to Tess - wish she could be made permanent.
Me too - she was terrific and I didn't miss Claudia. I think because she was a contestant on the show - who left too early imo - she has more empathy. She made Tess look like an amateur imo.

Agree with this.

Zoe was great. So is Claudia.

Hope her child gets better soon

I think Zoe made a few presenter mistakes early on but she was standing in at short notice so I'll forgive her. She did fine overall.

The weak link is Tess. She struck damn lucky a decade ago to get gig. BBC never ever expected SCD to be as successful as it became. She was second tier presenter at the time.

Both Claudia and Zoe are brighter so can think on their feet and can be naturally funny. Tess is a autocue reader!

Yup! I think you have hit the nail on the head.

Hope Claudia's child makes a speedy recovery.

Tess either needs to go back to the skybox or just stop doing Bruce's bit, it's so unnatural it hurts. I miss Bruce. I think it's time Anton retired and started doing Tess's bit with Claudia or Zoe (both who I love) in the skybox. Huge well done to Zoe.

Ahem yes. I don't think Zoe got the autocue right all the time tonight.

I enjoyed Zoe's uncomplicated upbeat enthusiasm for the dancers which brought what's always missing these days, some much needed showbiz pizzazz. Well done Zoe.

Doesn't matter Zoe and Claudia can cope without autocue and are often better without it, Tess freezes and looks like a rabbit caught I headlights

She got over her nerves quickly and made a really comfortable atmosphere for everyone. I like her better when she has to do it on the fly.

The presenting team should be Zoe in Tess's role. Claudia upstairs - although I would like her to be replaced too! But Claudia is marginally better than Tess.

She made it to the final 3, were she (and Colin Jackson) was robbed by a plank of wood named Gough

I don't mind Tess, but she is a bit wooden and seems to be following the "Brucie" format too much for me - never was a fan of his I am afraid - I would love to see Zoe and Claudia as the presenters they come across very natural and I obviously am on the same wavelength as them, although I appreciate that many people of DS are not.

Zoe was a breath of fresh air, imo she should take over from Tess and Tess back upstairs where she did a good job... I really, really enjoyed the show apart from the weird marking.....

Totally agree. Saturday night TV presenters don't rely on autocue. Brucie was great at ad lib / terrible at autocue.

Zoe did well! even if she did say HASHTAG yet again ... She and Tess spark off each other nicely. She looked fab in that black sparkly dress (although holding her skirt going downstairs, the way I do on railway stations, rather spoiled the effect) taller, willowyer and more natural looking blonde than Tess.

I'd like to see how Zoe and Claudia work with each other, I find Tess a bit plodding (and it's OLLA not OHLA FFS!)(=

Zoe, imo, is better on both ITT and the main show than Claudia. I don't mind Claudia with celebs when dancing finished but with Tess, she is so annoying, cant stand the sideways looks at Tess!!! Zoe should probably take over from Tess! lol

Thought Zoe was awful. As did rest of family At least Claudia can be funny. Tess and Zoe are as funny as a toothache.

I wonder how much notice she got?

Really enjoyed Zoe tonight. Pity she wasn't covering for Tess.

Both Claudia and Zoe really show Tess up as an auto (wooden),cutie who seems to have no real connection with the "stars of our show".

Her jokes are really laboured and it just comes over as fake.
