Just love her, she's so natural, much more so than Tess (in my opinion), you can just tell the dancers and celebrities really like her too. Massively underrated presenter I reckon!

She is A...MAZ....ING.

She is naturally funny, she engages with the dancers, the audience and us at home. Just a perfect host

Makes you realise just how wooden Tess is. Claudia is great fun and can do more than read the autocue.

She's a loss from ITT and a huge asset to the Saturday show when she's subbing for Daly when Forsyth is 'resting'.

She's got the wit but her look really puts me off. The fringe, giant eye lashes and organe tan make her look like she's melting. I can appreciate she has her own 'look' but it clashes for me with everyone else.

Claudia is great. she actually has me laughing out loud with some of her comments. Genuinely funny and quirky and connects with everyone.

She frees Tess up to simply move the show along which Tess does fine. The host doesn't have to be loud, in your face or an irritable geriatric who loves the sound of his own voice. Linking the show suits Tess and being the personality suits Claudia.

She's brilliant - as a duo they work well, and she is definitely the more relaxed of the two. Tess is still a bit "Bruciefied". Tonight's show was most enjoyable without Bruce, and we didn't have to pause it for 10 minutes so we could fast forward through all Bruce's stuff.

People complain about the dresses Tess wears but I can't make a comment about the way Claudia looks?

Her 'look' (because it is a look let's be fair - it's TV) sticks out like a sore thumb. I don't 'get' the weird fringe and giant eye lashes that make it look like they're going to crush her face. She's got charisma and wit, but her look needs changing in my opinion.

I love Claudia. Her being in the Tesspit suits her.

Tess is better at the presenter role. To a certain extent the presenter needs to be a blank canvas, an in-yer-face presenter wouldnt be suitable for Strictly.

Where would we be without Claudia's James Earl Jones wig and Tess's "little eye"?
But I wish you would get the article right. It's teh Winkleman, she's not latina.

She is, but I think she also boosts Tess. Tess seemed more assured and professional tonight, she didn't have to do the dumb blond pose and grin thing to make Bruce look good. I thought she was much more poised, the show moved along nicely and she can actually read an autocue properly. Love Claudia - they should make these two the permanent team.

I love Brucie but I think Claudia is doing a great job - so if Brucie can't continue for some reason, she would be a good replacement.

You obviously don't get her, that's why she does it, it's why she's so fantastic and downright clever to boot.....!

I ADORE Claude, she's deliciously proper bonkers! I actually love her chemistry with Tess,I think Claudia brings out the best in Tess, as well as being effortlessly funny herself.
It's a refreshing change to see two women fronting a high profile show, rather than one dolly bird (showing my age!)used as an ornament for the male presenter. And I'm not a rabid feminist, I just love the Claudia/Tess combo!

I agree Tess and Claudia should host the show when Bruce leaves they make a great team, but the BBC will not listen to what the fans/viewers want.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
