Following her daughter's accident on Halloween, Claudia Winkleman will not be presenting this weekend’s Strictly Come Dancing.
The star has had to take time off the show to look after her little girl, who was badly injured when her costume went up in flames while she was trick-or-treating.
Matilda, eight, was rushed to hospital after she suffered serious burns from reportedly brushing against a candle.
A source told The Sun: "Getting the gig on Strictly was a dream for Claudia, so it's cruel that she has had to pull out when things were all going so well.
"But she is not going to leave Matilda's side until she is ready." The source continued:
"Matilda is taking great strides in her recovery, but a long way off being completely better and Claudia doesn't think it would be appropriate to be on stage being upbeat while her daughter is unwell."
In Claudia's absence, It Takes Two's Zoe Ball will present the show with Tess Daly.
Tess told the audience on last week’s show: "All our thoughts go out to her and her daughter and we're wishing her a speedy recovery."
Our sentiments exactly.
