Strictly’s Tess and Claudia wear identical blazers

Their respective channels are locked in eternal ratings war.

Yet BBC’s Tess Daly and her Strictly co-host Claudia Winkleman did not let that stop them putting on a super cosy display with ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent judges Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden on Wednesday night.

Posing for a super cosy snap, the foursome lived it up together at the launch of a new campaign for npower and MacMillan at the Dorchester Hotel in London.

 

It was Alesha who posted the snap as she added a cheeky caption on the image reading: ‘The ladies of Saturday night TV #bossladies’. 

As she left the event, Tess teamed a chic blazer with matching wide leg trousers, a lace cami and black sandalled heels. Her golden locks grazed her chest as her tresses were styled into loosely tousled curls.

The wife of fellow presenter Vernon Kay beamed with joy as she walked beside her close friend, who wore a similar ensemble with off-black skinny jeans and ankle boots.

The couple kept it simple in the makeup department as Tess painted her lips in a nude gloss, while the 45-year-old opted for her signature heavily-lined eyes.

Speaking in an animated fashion and reading off an iPad, it was clear to see how impassioned she was about the cause.

Projected into the sky was a message for her granddad as she penned: ‘Darling Papa. We think and talk about you every day. Love Amanda x’. 

Amanda – who also has an interior design range for QVC – spoke to MailOnline earlier this month about her work with the npower’s Light Sky campaign.

‘It doesn’t have to just be for people with cancer, it can even be a message for someone you have lost. I lost my grandfather to Alzheimer’s and I tell my children he’s there watching them when they’re being naughty.

‘I’ll be sending the first message up to my Papa – it’s just a family evening, with love and support – a very different type of Christmas lights switch on.’ 

Amanda then headed out to celebrate after the successful launch, and dined at China Tang with pal Alesha Dixon at London’s Dorchester Hotel.

Alesha and Amanda have been friends for years, after starring on six seasons of ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent together.

The former Mis-Teeq star had gushed of their friendship earlier this year, telling The Sun: ‘From day one, we’ve always got on. Before the first show we went for a coffee and made an allegiance. 

‘We wanted to set an example to women that they can work together, get on, respect one another and not be in fear of each other.’
