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!
No way please. I would stop watching Strictly if this happens. Nearly every time she appears she is dressed in black, and also without any style, and I wonder sometimes if she is a Goth especially with that dreadful haircut.

Makes you realise just how wooden Tess is. Claudia is great fun and can do more than read the autocue.
Shows up Tess big time - when Claudia does her 'job'.

I love Claudia and her quirkiness. Even toh who usually does a crossword during Strictly was chortling away when she was on last night. Thought it was telling when Tess cracked up at her comments last night rather than pretending to laugh.

I prefer her and Tess as a combo, as Tess doesn't cringe around as much in between (like Bruce) and Claudia is good just being herself up stairs. I know Bruce fans might dislike them together, or people that don't want two females hotsing together might object, but I find they move the show along much better than when Bruce is telling people off and grinning his way through bad jokes (yes I get it's a role, but if Tess doesn't have to do it to such extent why does he).

I think she will be a regular host next year when Brucie's thrown in the towel. Keep the faith!

Umm. Last night she wore bright pink.

Style is a subjective matter. To me she has it by the shed load. Her OWN style, which is better than copying others.

Wish I had her lovely dark glossy hair!

Even if she is a Goth. So what?

She's all right, though can get annoying if around too much. Used to like her on ITT but even then, towards the end I felt I'd heard it all before. Still miles better than Zoe Ball though, who irritates me in the extreme and acts as though she is a presenter on a childrens show.
I hate seeing people being overly critical of Tess. Her style of presenting and communicating in the Tesspit isn't Claudia's, nor would it be anyones except Claudia. And she is certainly doing the 'Bruce's' job very professionally.

She might be a great presenter, but oh dear the wardrobe department do NOT do her any favours at all. Maybe it is in Tess' contract that any female co presenter has to dressed like a sack of spuds.

Quite shocking.

Much prefer Tess in the Tesspit! I can't remember anything any celeb or pro said last night. Just Claudia being dreadfully unfunny before the scores were in!

She has way more style than Tess. They're a good pair, making up for each other's shortcomings (Tess, her inablity to appear human) and Claudia (lacking in hardcore professionalism).

If Tess leaves with Bruce - which she has said more than once IIRC (?) - I hope they keep Claudia on.

Yes, theres less time for the contestants to actually speak, and everyone's attention tends to be drawn to Claudia herself. Not sure that everyone really wants to have to be interviewed by someone busy being 'a character'.

The celebs don't say anything of note anyway except Ashley yesterday. Just "I enjoyed it" or "that was great".

Claudia actually gets some banter and fun going.
