When I see Claudia I think I've accidentally pushed red button

Another vote for Claudia from me. I appreciate that her presenting style isn't for everyone but thats just life; who is universally liked? Tess isn't for everyone. Bruce Forsyth wasn't. Ant and Dec aren't. Anyone you can name will have someone saying, oh no I cannot stand them. In my opinion (and it's only an opinion!) Claudia does a great job as the giddy wingman to Tess' more straight man. This is a role she may well have been asked to play up.

Just to open up another can of worms...potentially... I thought Zoe Ball did a brilliant job when she was needed to fill in for Claudia.
Zoe Ball is absolutely brilliant. She's funny, she can be serious and professional when it's required, and she can think on her feet. Wish it were her and Claudia presenting.

I agree with you, they would be fantastic together.

I thought this too when Zoe stepped in for Claud last year. Zoe be the straight man, Claud with her quicker wit be the "foil", Zoe is as tall and blonde as Tess but seems to have a smidge more personality.

Maybe that is the reason that I can't stand watching her then....I am not a 'younger kid'! I didn't like ITT when Claudia presented it though but I do now that Zoe does and she does a fair amount of 'joking around'.
I am the opposite way around when it comes to ITT. For me the show is not nearly as good as when Claudia presented it and a lot of it is down to Zoe so style - not all though, a lot of the changes are down to the producers. I listen with half an ear a lot of the time. I definitely agree that Zoe did a great job covering for Claude last year, but I am happy enough with Tess and Claude.

Zoe and Claudia are both very good, but there is only so much hyper gushyness you can take on a Saturday night.
