Fake fake fake. I stopped watching when she got this gig, which is a pity for me as I loved the show. I try speeding through on catch up but its not the same.
Another vote in favour of Claudia - I think she's lovely. I like Tess too, tbh and think the show is better with the two of them on it. I always loved Claudia on ITT, and think she's marvellous in Claud-City interviewing the celebs.
Claudia treats this entertaining show, exactly how it should be taken, not at all seriously.
She was brilliant in the first two years of ITT, until she was told to turn it down and stop taking the P*** out of it, (that was obvious, as she changed "over season".

Probably the worst presenter on television, totally unfunny, bordering on the pathetic.”
I 100% agree, my sky+ will do a great job by using the FF button.., I won't have to listen to a single ditzy word she says. Last year it worked a treat on Mrs Winkle. Imo Eve Pollard have a lot to answer for. I wouldn't let the pretend giddy/funny-peculiar one present dinner to my dog.....
I love Claudia , but I don't think she could consistently carry the main show on her own . Maybe once or twice if Tess is off, but her style is more suited to being a wing man I think .
Not that Tess is better as such , but she has a bit more gravitas when needed .
They go well together .
Having Tess and Claudia presenting Strictly is one of the better decisions made by the producers.”
Completely agree. I missed her when Zoe took over ITT, so was thrilled when she started working in partnership with Tess. Plus Tess is much more relaxed now she doesn't have to worry about Bruce. It's great seeing how well they work together and well done to the BBC for not insisting on a male presenter to replace Bruce.
