Tess Daly wows in stunning swimsuits from her Naia Beach brand  as she focuses on the latest campaign while Strictly live show suffers a ratings slump without her amid new format

Tess Daly looked sensational as she wowed in an array of swimsuits from her Naia Beach brand collection on Monday. 

Taking to Instagram, the TV presenter, 57, celebrated the brand's latest campaign as she showcased her incredible figure in a deep blue halter neck swimsuit. 

Lying in the water, Tess beamed as she also modelled the metallic khaki colour and black version as she told fans: 'I’ve worn the Selene swimsuit every year, in every colourway, since we launched it five years ago. 

'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 year marks the first autumn Tess has had off in over 20 years after she and her co-host stepped down from presenting Strictly Come Dancing at the end of last year. 

However the show has suffered a ratings slump amid its new format without Tess and Claudia to steer the ship.

The feature-length, 150-minute episode suffered a ratings slump, with the live show bringing in fewer viewers than the pre-recorded launch episode for the first time in seven years. 

Viewers complained about the new presenters missing cues and fluffing lines and asked the big question – why did the BBC hire three to do a two-man job?  

A week on from the pre-recorded launch, fans and critics were hoping Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe would have had some time to finesse their roles.

During the launch, the three rotated positions in the Elstree studio. But with three vying for two roles, viewers soon singled out the 'spare part', homing in on Josh.

For the first live show Emma, the most experienced presenter of the three, took over Tess's position down on the dancefloor, looking out for the nervous contestants during the judges' critique. 

Johannes meanwhile was up in the 'Clauditorium', debriefing with his fellow pros and their partners. 

That left Josh, who was placed by Emma's side adding the punchlines to her commentary, but the decision to split Tess's role didn't go down well with viewers who remarked that the comedian looked like a 'spare part' next to seasoned professional Emma.

Josh's inexperience, and nerves, were evident when he awkwardly missed his cue during a link. After chatting with Love Island's Cach Mercer following his dance, Johannes threw to Emma and Josh, asking: 'Who's dancing now?'

The screen then cut to them to introduce the next pair, but Josh stood there for a few seconds until he realised it was time to speak. The same issue then happened again later in the show during a different link. 

Later, judge Motsi Mabuse playfully admonished Josh with a sassy comment during Paralympian Dame Sarah Storey's feedback.

After Craig gave his rather cutting feedback, Motsi turned to him to say that she actually agreed with what he was saying for once, which led to Craig quipping: 'Great - we can move on to Shirley [Ballas] then!'

Motsi burst out laughing before then replying: 'Well I have to do my job too!' Josh jumped in, jokingly shouting: 'Shirley!' as if to skip over Motsi's feedback.

The Strictly veteran cheekily remarked to Josh: 'Well are we going to be friends or enemies, you choose now!' as the audience and Josh laughed it off.

'Josh feared for his P45 in Week 1. Motsi ate him up,' declared one viewer on X.

Critics and viewers have argued though that 'Josh is really not the problem', criticising BBC bosses for hiring three hosts and misassigning their roles.

Josh, well versed in comedy live telly thanks to his 14 years on Channel 4's The Last Leg, should have been given Claudia's role, argued many fans, pointing out 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,' pointed out one viewer 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.',

'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,' agreed another.

'Ok. I still don't feel it. 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??.',

'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.'
