Tess Daly has showcased her figure in an array of swimsuits from her Naia Beach brand, as her former show Strictly Come Dancing suffers a ratings slump under its new hosting line-up.
The television presenter, 57, took to Instagram on Monday to promote the brand's latest campaign.
She modelled the Selene halter neck swimsuit in deep blue, metallic khaki and black while posing in the water.
"I've worn the Selene swimsuit every year, in every colourway, since we launched it five years ago," Daly told her followers. "Seeing women still choosing it, wearing it, and coming back to it year after year means so much. It's one of the most rewarding parts of this journey, creating something we love, and then watching it become a favourite for so many Naia Women too."
This autumn marks Daly's first time off in more than two decades, having stepped down from presenting the BBC dance competition alongside Claudia Winkleman at the end of last year.
Strictly Come Dancing ratings slump
Following Daly and Winkleman's departure, Strictly Come Dancing introduced a new three-person presenting team of Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe.
However, the programme's new format has seen a drop in viewership. The 150-minute first live show attracted fewer viewers than the pre-recorded launch episode, marking the first time this has happened in seven years.
A week on from the pre-recorded launch, where the trio rotated positions in the Elstree studio, fans and critics had hoped the presenters would have had time to finesse their roles.
For the first live show, Willis, the most experienced presenter of the three, took over Daly's former position on the dancefloor to look out for nervous contestants during the judges' critiques.
Radebe was stationed upstairs in the "Clauditorium" area to debrief with the professional dancers and their celebrity partners.
Widdicombe was positioned alongside Willis to add punchlines to her commentary, but the decision to split Daly's old role drew complaints from viewers. Fans questioned why the BBC had hired three people for a two-person job, with some remarking that the comedian looked like a "spare part" next to seasoned professional Willis.
Missed cues and awkward moments
Viewers noted Widdicombe's nerves and inexperience as he awkwardly missed his cue during a link in the live broadcast.
After chatting with Love Island contestant Cach Mercer following his dance, Radebe threw the coverage to Willis and Widdicombe, asking: "Who's dancing now?"
The screen cut to the pair to introduce the next couple, but Widdicombe stood in silence for several seconds before realising it was his time to speak. The same issue occurred again later in the programme during a different link.
Widdicombe was also playfully admonished by judge Motsi Mabuse with a sassy comment during feedback for Paralympian Dame Sarah Storey.
After fellow judge Craig Revel Horwood delivered rather cutting feedback, Mabuse noted that she actually agreed with what he was saying for once.
"Great, we can move on to Shirley [Ballas] then!" Revel Horwood quipped.
As Mabuse burst out laughing and replied, "Well I have to do my job too!", Widdicombe jumped in, jokingly shouting "Shirley!" as if to skip over Mabuse's feedback.
The Strictly veteran cheekily told Widdicombe: "Well are we going to be friends or enemies, you choose now!" The studio audience and Widdicombe laughed off the remark.
"Josh feared for his P45 in Week 1. Motsi ate him up," one viewer declared on X.
Viewers suggest format changes
Despite the awkward moments, many critics and viewers argued that Widdicombe was not the problem, instead criticising BBC bosses for hiring three hosts and misassigning their roles.
Fans pointed out that Widdicombe, who is well versed in live television comedy thanks to 14 years on Channel 4's The Last Leg, should have been given Winkleman's role, noting that his gag-filled commentary works best as a soloist.
"I'm not going to be one of the people hating on Josh. For me the problem is that three hosts just aren't needed," one viewer pointed out on X. "He's just standing there awkwardly next to Emma without much to do. Josh should've been up where Johannes is and Johannes should be dancing imo."
Another agreed: "ngl, i'm not a fan of this hosts setup. I'd switch jojo and josh around, why book a comedian and not put him causing chaos and fun in the clauditorium (or whatever we call it these days) #Strictly."
"Ok. I still don't feel it," wrote a third. "It might have fared better if it was just Josh upstairs and Emma on her own. I feel that dynamic would've had more flow. What's everyone else thinking??"
A fourth viewer added: "Everyone is being quite hard on Josh but he's really not the problem. He should be up in the Clauditorium to crack jokes with the contestants. Emma is fantastic and such a natural so she should be on her own on the main floor. Three hosts are too much."
