I love Marian Keyes too and she and Claudia had me in fits of giggles last night.

I never saw the first series so wasn't really exposed to the Whirlwind that was Justin Lee Collins but I think Claudia is perfect for the job. It's when she does things like ask Ronan if he'd ever do SCD "Not even if I sang a special song?"

The masterclasses with Len are pure class, bony knobs and all.

I agree that Claudia and Marion Keyes are great. Perhaps we should start a more of Marion Keyes thread so that they will take note when they visit the site? She would benefit from being given her own slot to comment on the dancers rather than having to compete with three others.

I think she was kidding about taking one less pill. She is a recovering alcoholic/addict as she freely admits and has based at least one of her books on.
She is fabulously funny and we should see more of her,

Yes *laughs*

Or telling Mark "I will literally do whatever it takes to make you run across the floor with your shirt off"

Or the face she pulls when Len mentions "bony knobs" and "chesticles"

Or a thousand other little things that make her hilarious even though she's clearly as potty as they come.

Just occasionally the "dumb non-dancer" thing is laid on a little heavily, but generally I think she's very funny and is good at being the "everyman" (or "everywoman") in terms of teasing out the kind of things we want to know from the dancing people who are on the show.

I love ITT and Claudia. Unfortunately I missed the episode with Marian Keyes as I am a great fan of her books and have read them all. She is brill and I can well imagine that the two of them together must have been a riot. Hope Marian is back again as my sat. dish is now working after 24 hours when it gave up the ghost. Nearly had a heart attack when I thought I would miss tonight's Strictly Come Dancing. Glad to say after hubby balanced on one leg to fix the dish (on the roof of the house IN the rain - that is love for you) I am in working order!!.

How funny is Claudia ? Not very in my opinion. She's just tooooo annoying. Marian Keyes on the other hand was superb

Oh I know, my mum has read all her books and she is just like her, 'I'd love to have been Lilia if life had been kinder to me'

Them two together, would make ITT amazing

Claudia really makes that show. It was the same with the Fame Academy show she did. She's a smart and witty woman. Just like her mother really.

Claudia Winkleman is BRILLIANT and ITT should be an hour every day - she and Marian Keyes should do a behind the scenes show in between the 2 saturday shows giving us all the backstage gossip, drama and goings on - hell - just let them look at the dresses and stuff they'd be great and if the insipid X factor can have an extra factor on ITV 2 Strictly should have something to keep us on the boil on a Saturday night too
