Claudia Winkleman will make her return to Strictly Come Dancing this weekend.

The presenter has been away from the BBC1 show since her eight-year-old daughter suffered burns at Halloween.

The exact nature of the accident isn't known but the star later released a statement warning of the dangers of fireworks.

London Ambulance Service said "a child was taken to hospital after being called to a London address" and treated "as a priority".

In a series of tweets the 42-year-old thanked her followers for their "lovely messages" but added that her daughter is on "a long road to recovery".
