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.

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.
