Strictly Come Dancing presenter Claudia Winkleman is returning to the hit ballroom show this weekend.

The star has been absent in recent weeks to be with her eight-year-old daughter, Matilda, who was in hospital after her Halloween costume went up in flames while she was out trick-or-treating.

The mother-of-three was replaced on the main BBC One show by Zoe Ball after the accident.

Winkleman and her film producer husband, Kris Thykier, have three young children - Jake and Arthur, as well as Matilda.

She landed landed the role of Strictly co-host, joining Tess Daly, in the autumn after Sir Bruce Forsyth decided to step down from the programme after a decade.

The presenter, the daughter of former newspaper editor Eve Pollard, had previously fronted the weekly results show and stepped in during Sir Bruce's occasional absences.
