Welcome to the ClaudiaWatch thread - comments on ITT each day - and perhaps requests...

Animal print dress today. Looked great, I reckon pretty hard to pull off without looking like a tart but I love the smoky eye/blunt fringe thing that Claudia's got going on most days.

Brendan today *swoon* and Bruno - did you see him slap Bruno - I was hoping for a full blown bitch fight but nothing materialised even though Claudia was egging Bruno on to slap him back.

And am I the only one that wants ITT to show the VT with "the boys" where they did that casion themed intro to the male professional dancers?

Happyfeet xx

Personally I think she is one of the worst dressed people on television.

She wears clothes my 65 year old mother wouldn't be seen dead in

I think Claudia has got the 'retro minx-wear' look down and I'm pretty sure that that particular look wouldn't work quite as well on a 65 year old so your mother would be right

I think she dresses much better than a lot of people on tv, it's fun while stylish and shows some individuality, that's what throwing clothes on is about I reckon.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on that one happyfeet. Maybe it's me and I'm completely out of touch, but bet Trinny and Susanna would like to get their hands on her.

Not that I care much for their taste much either

I do I do!! My god they were all so gorgeous in that!!!!!!! Purr purr!!!!

As for Claudia's fashion sense - not keen myself - suprise suprise!

Deal - we shall have a truce
So tonight Claudia was sporting a beautiful black silk coat dress with black lace - and gorgeous black shoes. Perhaps not as slinky as usual and if you had a less than slim figure it might make you look a bit bulky I reckon.

So excellent clip of past newsreaders dancing - I totally missed the BBC newslads doing that 80s pastiche: what programme was that from?

They so have to get Bill in that string vest; and I wouldn't put it past the ITT team to find it and make him wear it

Minihoy - I know we share a love of Brendan and feel that Denise was robbed - but what do you have against The Winkleman?

The newsboys were Duraning it up on Children In Need, I think, about two or three years ago.

And I also thought Claudia was looking rather delightful tonight in the rigout as described above so well by happyfeet.

Loved Claudia's dress and shoes tonight

Me too it had something of Oscar De La Renta about it, very sophisticated

I would imagine the answer is "because she's not JLC". Am I right, Nat?

Loulabelle - you know me too well - or is it just that I have a tendency to go on!!!!

It is true, it is the fact that she is not JLC - whoever took over from him would have experienced the wrath of the minihoy!! It is the BBC who r the fools - replacing a comedy genius, who brough total laughter to the show, to someone who is an alright presenter (do u realise how hard it was for me to type that!! ) but is not suited to this show. Plus not sure if the negativity she brings to ITT is from her and her presenting style, or the BBC have told her to try and bring about confrontation and divides between people! It is not the show it used to be!!!

BRING BACK JLC!!!!!!!!

Claudia's back with her daily dose of everything Strictly.

Tonight she is joined by Jaye Jacobs and Andrew Cuerden, the latest couple to waltz out of the competition.

Anton Du Beke will also be in the studio to discuss his relationship with partner Patsy Palmer and look forward to Saturday night, and we'll be getting the latest odds from our resident bookie, Rupert Adams.

Plus we give you the chance to vote for your worst ever Strictly Come Dancing outfit!

So don't miss Strictly Come Dancing – Tonight at 6:30pm on BBC TWO.

Oooh and Nat, I'm sure JLC was fantastic and I'm sad I didn't see him as presenter but the fact remains that Claudia amuses me greatly and I don't have a point of reference. La Winkleman can't help it if she got the job over JLC and I reckon we should be happy with what we've got.

I do admit it would be cool to have two presenters though - perhaps we should angle for that?

happyfeet, no objection to Ms Winkleman as a presenter, in fact rather like her.

But sorry hated it! hated it!! hated it! looked like a funereal meringue, totally swamped her.

Promise I will post if she wears anything I do like

Though I did enjoy the dance masterclass and the references to chesticles, did make me giggle.

I agree - she had no waist in that dress last night, and I'm sure that wasn't the desired effect. So even though her chat was a bit more bearable, her dress looked a bit rubbish...

I did like JLC - especially the dance he did with Paul Killick - please show it again!!!

I thought he was an excellent presenter, but I think Claudia is great too - just different! I love her comments and obscure references!

I can understand your feelings about it though - I'd feel the same if Bill got knocked out as Fiona was saved!!

Perfect description. I wasn't taken with last night's attire.

I'd love to see her in Ian's turquoise number again...

I love the way Claudi dresses to be honest. In fact last year as I have the same hair as her, I even went through a pale pink lipstick and brown nail varnish stage as it looked so good on her.

Didn't work for me though!

I know Bohochick - I don't know why but I just love her style. I have indian skin so pale lipstick looks kinda weird on me but I love the smoky eye

Not long till ITT!

There is a page on the BBC website where you can download shots from Saturday night's show - they are all pretty fab - well done to the photographer!
Here's the link:

Beeeaaooooooootiful

Hmm not as sure about tonight's ensemble.
More dressed down than usual: Navy V-neck with black capri pants and blue sky-high stilettos.

Less glam but for a day look - pretty good - bit of a gamble to wear the navy and black together but the shoes pulled it off I feel.

Nothing special though

I did like the golden lining of Anton's suit jacket which we caught glimpse of as he climbed on top of Claudia at the end Y'know she loves it!!

Yes..an odd choice tonight..but still sexier than I could ever look!

Does anyone else wish to join me in my mission to break into Claudia's house and steal her shoe collection (ignoring the fact there's not a hope in hell that they'd fit me, her being a normal height person and me being a complete short a*se)

It was bit like 'I'm off to do the garden when I've finished up here'.

I'll join you Agent - shoes are my thang! Do you think there's a chance in hell she is a three and a half!
