Really love Claudia. She makes me laugh every single week. Such an asset to the show.

You like jokes of three-year-olds... uh-huh.

I used to hate Claudia, I really did, but she's grown on me the last couple of series.

She doesn't make me laugh at all. She makes me cringe and wish to God they had picked Zoe for the role.

Sure, if that's what a three year old joke is...

I love her dry humour.

Exactly ,

laurel n hardy did that back in 1897 ,

It was pathetic

Me too.

Claudia was embarrassing tonight.*yawn*

Agree with the OP. I had strong reservations when she was given the permanent role but she's proved me completely wrong. Such a sharp wit, handles all the post dance interviews with the couples extremely well - it wouldn't be the same without her!

I doubt she will have had the idea for that joke herself.
Plus that kind of joke isn't her usual "style".

It must be awful having such a serious and adult sense of humour.

I love Claudia !! She makes me smile

Sock puppets are his humour.

I like her too.

Love Claudia!

Zoe has ruined ITT.... so please never Zoe as a main presenter .

We will have to disagree on that. I hated ITT when it was presented by Claudia. With Zoe it is must watch TV.

For those who can remember Claudia in the once a week ITT programme, as it once was...(very low budget, it looked like it had been recorded in the BBC staff's kids Christmas party Santa's Grotto), she was at her best, very witty and acerbic. But I noticed on subsequent years the BBC "suits" appeared to had got at her to tone it down a bit.
I think she's still brilliant and treats this entertainment show just as it should.

She has very shiny hair.

Nice thread. Her timing is great and she's very dry in her humour.

I love Claudia Didn't like her at first but she has grown on me. She's just naturally funny, unlike Tess and Zoe who try too hard to be funny, when they're just not.

Was it a wig

I loved her then too, but also like her on the main show - love her dry sense of humour.

Strictly is a family show so I don't mind any daft bits - as long as the 'comedy' VTs don't go on too long. It's designed to appeal to all ages and tastes.

i love claudia, she has me in stitches - it's not the chocolate on the face jokes that make me laugh tho, it's claud's expressions behind them, that's where you see her sense of humour - she's hilarious

It's mostly down to what's on the computerised auto-cue for those two.
You know what they say about computers; "rubbish in, rubbish out!"

My favourite interactions of hers have been with Peter Andre.

I almost miss him.
