One of the most memorable parts was the couple’s much-anticipated outfits.

Claudia Winkleman is a regular face on our screens thanks to being one half of the presenting duo on Strictly Come Dancing, alongside Tess Daly, and now as host of The Traitors, which recently returned for its second series.
