I have always loved her but as I was there Saturday night and saw a lot of her off camera, I am even more in love, and so is my OH. Swears like a trooper and extremely funny. Adore her.
I didn't know that Claudia turns the air a bit blue lol, some people say that they don't like her, did you get any of that negative feeling at the Strictly show on Saturday?

I loved Claudia doing ITT, has she ever been on there with Zoe? I can imagine those two together being hilarious.

I adore Claudia, and must admit to having a bit of a girl crush on her - I think she's hilarious and very stylish in her own unique way.

I miss her so much on ITT ... I used to watch that show more so for her than for the interviews with the dance pairings. I rarely watch ITT now (no disrespect to Zoe Ball, who I don't mind, it's just not the same).

I thought she did really well on Saturday night and she brings a breath of fresh air to the show.

I'm glad to hear that the crowd loved Claudia Heavenly, I must admit I didn't know about her naughty side though, I will be looking at her on the results show tonight through different eyes lol.

I've always really liked Claudia and I miss her on ITT. Zoe ball is great, but Claudia was much funnier. Also I love her glamorous look with all the eye makeup. It's her distinctive look and I don't think she needs to change it.
Hear, hear!

As much as I like Zoe, I really miss Claudia's quirkiness which always made me smile. I'm pleased she's there for the results show but in my mind it's definitely not enough. I'm very excited whenever she covers for Bruce as it means I get my Winkleman-fix.

Claudia's quirkiness does make her quite different from any one else, I guess that's why most people like her.

Claudia is fun. I like her partnership with Tess in Bruce's absence.

Thank you for taking notice of Terry Claudia, you look so much better now that you have had a bit cut off your fringe, I loved your dress on the results show tonight, you get a 10 out of 10 from Terry tonight, well done. x

Yay for Claudia, I'm a big fan of hers, pity she doesn't do ITT any more, it was so much better when she presented it, although I am warming to Zoe.

I love Claudia and can't understand why some people don't like her. She's the sort of person I'd click with in real life.

I agree, I would love to click with Claudia in real life CreamPuff, I don't think that there are many normal people who wouldn't.

You must be joking. No dress sense especially when not in black and that haircut drives me mad..
Claudia Is Lovely! - Why Can't People Just Leave Her Alone ? - Lets Celebrate her current role on Strictly Come Dancing instead .


Lets have a Claudia free zone this series and celebrate her current role on Strictly Come Dancing instead of all the silly knit picking that goes on every year about the poor woman, she really doesn't deserve all the petty criticism she gets in the press and other places.

She is clearly at her best when she is working alone, like her spot on the results show, instead of having to play second banana to someone who has a tenth as much personality. This is why she is such a good subject for an impressionist:

Debra Stephenson does Claudia Winkleman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdVUOaL6brY

You don't see Debra doing an impression of Tess!

I love Claudia too but I always want to straighten her posture. My gran always told me to stand up straight and not hunch!
That beige sack Claudia was wearing was awful, and did her no favours!

I love Winkleman. I'd get rid of Tess and Bruce in a heartbeat and leave her to present the show. She doesn't pander. She's not a luvvie. She doesn't feel the need to flash her bits every week and she's funny.

I used to watch ITT every day when she hosted it. Her master classes with Len always cracked me up.

I adore her. She's incredibly funny, articulate and engaging. And she manages to drag the best out in Tess - no mean feat!

I love Claudia to bits, but what is with the white flour sack look on the results show tonight, is this a new fashion?

Terry could you follow your own thread title and "leave her alone" please? You are the only one mentioning these things

Basic requestit for TV presenter = to be able to see.

Not squinting into camera and peoples faces. dark eye shadow and low fringe plus squinting to see is not a look i want in a glamour night of deportment and stature.

Last week she was wearing a Carers Pinifore and tonight she seems to have been promoted to Doctors white coat.

She is probably alright ( god knows everyone loves her)

But not my cup of tea hunched about and sqinting into peoples faces.

if she was a dancer she would be slated for deportment and facial expressions.

But I bow to the masses who think her and tess make a big night a special event ( to me its just a "Take a Break " or "Heat " magazine TV dinner show without the credeance of Bruce who makes it feel like a real saturday night special.

( puts on Tin hat and retires to safe distance LOL )

Claudia is gorgeous, quirky, bright and funny, wish she still did ITT. I have noticed Zoe tries to copy her (and fails).

Does anyone remember Dolly the sheep? If it were ever to happen I'd love to see thousands of Claudia clones. She's so lovely. Dresses well week in week out too. Wish she was my wife
