Claudia could wear a bin liner every week - I adore her.

Aww now, come on...
For the record, I love Claud's style - and BuddyBonTheNet - I too loved the jumpsuit with hot pink heels last week. I want!
Claudia is a breath of fresh air. She dresses smartly but in her own quirky style. She's a total individual and I love that.

Davina: I'm out!
Claudia: I'm in (just).
Why do people feel the need to be mean to people they dont know. I think she is brilliant and a funny lady and enjoy her contribution to things!

None of know her, though, do we? So we just have to comment on the effect she has on us, watching her. She appeals to some people, not to others - you like her, I can't stand her. She just splits the forum down the middle, and it's probably healthy that we all have such different views!

I am puzzled as to why there are so many complaints about Tess and yet people seem oblivious to the fact that she is usually stood beside something resembling Quasimodo in a pillowcase. I noticed she changed it up this week with a splash of colour (white t-shirt) and finished it off with a black cardigan. Absolutely shocking, and that's before you take into account the hair and makeup. It's like some goth chick with bad posture just wondered onto the set.
The dress sense of people on this forum must be something to behold, if Tess is admonished and Winkleman is ignored. If my girlfriend dressed like her in public i would dump her.”

She's awful, but unfortunately she seems to trigger the mad button in some people's heads. Take last Sunday - loads of twitter were saying, 'Ooooh, how does she get her hair so shiny?' SHE HAS HUGE STUDIO LIGHTS SHINING DOWN ON IT - THAT'S HOW. Her painful 'Hey I'm so kooky' schtick gets lauded as brilliant wit, and her horribly misplaced self-adoration gets celebrated as exuberance. She must have made a deal with the devil - and Lily Savage's make-up lady.
Oh obviously the studio lights were not shining on anyone else's hair so that's why their hair did not look shiny
Claudia would I am sure laugh her head off at the notion she has made a deal with the devil , the fact that she would and the fact that you can't see it is exactly the reason you don't appreciate her.

People are caught up in the fact that she is a better presenter than Bruce....but who isn't. Bottom line is she just doesn't fit with the show.
ps. i assure you my girlfriend is most definitely not a "wooly glove" but thank you for your attempted wit. However that sounds like something winkleman might consider wearing next week when she does that awful horse riding trotting motion onto the stage.”

Oh dear - what women on earth would want a boyfriend like you mate.
She looks great - love her quirky sense of style
A man who clearly knows nothing about "fashion". move along now.
I wish I could make pact with the devil, so I don't have to go to work, be a lady of liesure. I like Claudia, she is funny, kooky and the her clothes suit her build.

Claudia is Einstein compared to Tess Daly's Flinstone.
Claudia is intelligent, witty, nearly forty, she's married with three children. For the show, she dresses conservatively, as she appreciates she's not the star.
Tess, is not I suspect as intelligent, she's forty three, married with two children and occasionally dresses for the show, like an "Essex slapper."
Need I say more?

Yes, actually. I'd like a brief treatise on why you think it's acceptable to label anyone a "slapper".

"If the cat fits"
Short enough?
If you want to get into semantics, actually I didn't call her a slapper, I said she "occasionally dresses like one."
That's a whole lot of difference.

I never saw this episode of Yabba Dabba Doo. Is that the one were Einstein invents tactical thermonuclear war and Dino fights it out with the mutant King Kong in Nagasaki?
I love Claudia and wish she was the main presenter. I enjoy her natural, scatty presenting. Why should she confirm, she would look awful in the dresses Tess wears, as does Tess most of the time.
I haven't watched it takes two since Zoe took over as I can't stand her, yet it used to be one of my favourite parts of Strictly.

As far as I'm aware, Claudia has been around longer, she just doesn't accept everything offered to her like some other female presenters so we haven't seen her as much.
I would rather watch Claudia present any day!
