With that in mind, viewers were eagerly anticipating how the duo would address the news on tonight's episode of the beloved show – and in the end they offered a heartfelt message in the opening moments of the episode.
"We want to thank you for your beautiful messages," Claudia added. "We've got another eight weeks on this incredible show and a Strictly champion to crown."
And Tess continued: "We cannot wait to spend the rest of the series with you, with our amazing couples and of course with these four," before welcoming the judges to the show.
And the judges have very much embraced the theme, with Craig Revel Horwood decked out as John Lennon, Motsi Mabuse dressed as Grace Jones, Shirley Ballas channelling Elvis Presley and Anton Du Beke opting for a David Bowie costume.
"We will cry when we say the last 'keep dancing' but we will continue to say it to each other," they added. "Just possibly in tracksuit bottoms at home while holding some pizza."
The presenting duo have hosted the series together since 2014, with Daly at the helm since the very first season and Winkleman making the move from spin-off It Takes Two to the main results show in 2010, before taking on full weekend duties following Sir Bruce Forsyth's departure.
