Re-live 12 unforgettable moments from Claudia and Tess's Danceathon

大象传媒 Radio 2's Claudia Winkleman and her Strictly Come Dancing co-presenter Tess Daly pledged to practice what they preach and ‘Keep Dancing’ in an epic challenge that saw them floss, dab and salsa to the beat for the longest ever Danceathon challenge in Red Nose Day history, running from 7:15pm on Monday 11 March to 7:20pm on Tuesday 12 March.

The stars put their dancing skills to the test as Radio 2 turned into a giant jukebox, playing the very best floor fillers from the present day all the way back to the 1960s.

The dancing marathon pushed the duo to their limits, both physically and mentally, as they swapped the side lines of the dancefloor for centre stage and danced non-stop for over 24-hours, all to raise vital cash for Red Nose Day to help Comic Relief improve countless lives both here in the UK and internationally.

As It Happened - live coverage of Radio 2's Longest Ever Danceathon

Claudia Winkleman says "I’m so excited to be taking on this epic Danceathon challenge with Tess live at Radio 2 in the legendary Wogan House. I know it’s going to be hilarious to watch because we’re pretty bad dancers - I’m not very good at standing, let alone dancing! Thankfully we’ll have each other and we’re going to push through to raise as much money as we can for Red Nose Day."

Tess Daly adds: "I am so proud to be supporting Red Nose Day with Claudia, however I’m not sure what either of us were thinking when we agreed to the longest ever Danceathon challenge! We were worn out during our first choreography session so it’s no doubt going to be a tough challenge. But, we’re doing this to raise money for Red Nose Day so it will be incredibly special and we’ll be thinking of all the people that will benefit from all the amazing projects funded by Comic Relief."
