please BBC get rid of them both and put a bit more class back.. that false teeth routine is really not funny..
The number who want to get rid of Claudia and don't like her are probably equal to the number who wanted to get rid f the previous presenter and didn't like him. We coped with him for 10 series, so it's only fair that you put up with her for the same length of time. We complained, so you can too.

She plainly didn't intend to imply any such thing within the context of his initial remark.

However I have heard people imply just that with similar questions and I can understand why he took it the wrong way.
Did he take it the wrong way? Have you asked him? I just thought he was being his usual self.

Well said. She would have asked anyone where they came from. And as someone who comes from Manchester, I didn't really appreciate Simon's comment that there was no dancing like that where he comes from. It's one of the biggest cities in the country, not the arse-end of nowhere and yes, Simon, if you look for it, you can find dance classes in little old Manchester. I don't have a lot of disposable income and I used to go to dance classes fairly regularly.

I saw no race angle to her question and I think it is disgraceful to accuse her of such.
Precisely. Claudia knows where he comes from, she was just amused to hear him say that there would be no dancing of that nature in his neck of the woods. I thought it was funny as well, it's like saying ballroom and particularly the VW are only for southern softies.

Claudia is stealing the show as in she's stealing the show.

It is now officially the Claudia Winkleman show.

She gets better every week - such a sharp, witty little soul. Love her.
So much better than Tess. She at least has the common decency to pronounce people's names correctly. The same cannot be said for Tess.

I like Claud AND Tess! You need a funny one and a not-so-funny one in any good double act. They do a great job.

Obviously not everyone is on the same wavelength viz a viz humour, for me Claudia is great fun and love her "messing" around - far better than silly/outdated jokes we had to suffer for years! Tess is doing a good job on a more serious side.

Re Simon, did not find anything wrong with Claudia's question or his reply I may have said the same myself if questioned and there are plenty of dance schools around where I live - obviously not something he had considered, rather like me!
