Tess Daly previously opened up about how she manages to look *so* good on Strictly Come Dancing.
The TV star has been at the helm of the glitzy BBC One show since it started 2004. And, over the years, Tess has pulled off many major fashion moments, often opting for jaw-dropping gowns.
But it turns out Tess has a strict rule she follows when it comes to wearing the “tight” dresses while hosting Strictly Come Dancing.
Tess Daly on how she looks so good on Strictly
In an interview from 2021, Tess shared a shock confession about her diet.
“On the plus side, I’ve got a fast metabolism, so I can eat as much chocolate as I like,” she told The Guardian.
Tess then went on to recall the pain she endures while wearing the bedazzled frocks on Strictly Come Dancing.
She explained: “And… I was going to say I get away with it, but frankly that’s a lie. I’m breathing in most of the time in those tight dresses on Strictly.”
Tess Daly on her diet
As for exercise, Tess is a fan of working out – but her favourite type of exercise to do is yoga as it “really works” for her.
She told Women’s Health in 2024: “It’s like mindful exercise in itself. And I love that it affords me flexibility – each time I do a new position, I feel I can go deeper into that stretch.
“Like a lot of us, I’m a very busy person who doesn’t stop and switch off often enough, so yoga really works for me. I’ve also gotten into strength training lately, because I enjoy the feeling that it’s stimulating the muscles and building them.”

They said: “‘All of Tess’ treatments are in addition to going hardcore on her diet and exercise regime – loading up on all the foods proven to help reverse the ageing process like avocados, blueberries, nuts and spinach, as well as upping her yoga workouts to twice daily.”
