Thank you dancingfan I will have a look at this a bit later

I havn't noticed this ungainly gallop.

Lucky you!

I do like Claudia but the same old schtick is wearing a bit thin now :yawn:, the galloping is actually toecurling to watch. I hope she (ahem) reins it in for the final.

Am I missing something

I don't watch ITT now Claudia doesn't present it. I like Zoe but she's not as funny. And her shoes aren't so great.

Zoe was great last year, but this year I haven't liked her presenting, she is over loud and in your face.

More hyper excited than anything else I think.

Except when she does her sotto voce to camera. I usually can't figure out what she is saying.

But I think she is great fun and far prefer Zoe to Claudia.

I wonder what will happen when Denise takes over ITT?

Yes, the galloping !! She does it every week. She just can't seemingly stand up straight or stop doing it. But I do like her.

Every week without fail as she and Tess are introduced she does a type of horsey gallop onto the dance floor.

I think she's lovely and a welcome alternative to Sir Bruce.

I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for Claudia's rising trot in the Final, I may start to see this filly in a new light

Very strange indeed. I hadn't noticed it before.

Move to 3:20

Is this some kind of X rated late night viewing?

She can be annoying with her exaggerations ("I have nine million babies", "I literally want to gouge my eyes out" etc), but she is good live performer.

When did Claudia say that

Love Claudia - she is far and away my favourite of all the presenters involved in Strictly and ITT

Winkler is on because she is part of that group of people that the BBC likes and will always find a spot for them.
Because the Beeb is rolling in tax payers money they can overstaff every program as they don't have to face the financial reality that ITV /Sky and others have to face.
That lollopping crossing of the floor that shw does is one of the most ungainly you are likely to see on a program about ballroom dancing.

I assume the trot thing is all part of the Shetland pony image she has adopted. Why, is another matter.

Zoe is very hyper and shouty, very annoying.I wish she would calm down.

As I was thinking, a rising trot seems more suited to Claudia than a gallop, I still need to see this with my own eyes to decide though.

Did you not record last Sunday's results show Terry ? If you did, you could canter to your machine and replay it. The gallop as she joins up with Tess is there for all to see.

It was to sad to record sundays results yorkshirelass tears were flowing in buckets on my end what with Lisa going & all, Im going to check Cladia next time tho

Oh no. I hope you'll have cheered up by Saturday !! But will Claudia be ON the show on Saturday, or will Bruce do the whole lot ??
