Has CW aged over the last year as I noticed how old and tired she look on Sundays programme, she looks so drained .

Its the hair. Makes her look older.

Give her a chance! After all, this is SCD and she's a great fan AND a fan of this forum!! How horrid for her to come here and read this.

I think you look great Claudia and I like the new hair style!

I shall be watching tonight, that's for sure!

She is reportedly having marriage troubles so maybe she is really tired and drained. She has been working a lot lately also- hence marriage issues apparently- and has two young children (??2??) so its not all a bed of roses.

Hope her shoes haven't suffered along with her hair though!

It was probably her hair - it was a more grown up style and it does make her look a bit older. Strictly Come Bitching said she didn't have enough eyeliner on, either, but I can't say I noticed...

more serious look for a more serious master classes maybe!!

Poor Claudia she looked so worn out.......if the papers are to be believed she nearly didnt do ITT this year because of family problems......I rather wish she hadnt if its going to make her ill. It is a huge committment more than Tess. I wish that perhaps she had split the job with someone......she could do three days and someone else do two....it wouldnt be quite the same but dear dear we dont want poor claudia to fade away.

I was happy to see on the results show that she was in the audience with her Mum so she did have some support because I was seriously worried about her.

Yes, I think the lack of the normal "Claudia makeup" that we all know and love also had an effect.

She was a dead ringer for my Aunty Ann last night

Yes, I bet she will be nicely made up for tonight, and won't look half as tired, as very late on Saturday.

Does anyone have a clip of ITT?

I hope she doesn't give up doing ITT as she is great on the show.

We havent had an episode of ITT yet doesnt start until 6.30 tonight.

I wish I looked that old and tired.

I thought she looked more natural, however I think the make-up artists could have introduced a bit of colour to her face & lips for her chat with Tess, even if she's decided to ditch the heavy stuff.
Hubby liked her new hair cut although I'm not too keen - maybe it will grow on me, she did look a tad thin (but so does Tess imo).
I hope things work out for her as it is horrible enough to go through marriage probs anyway but to do it in the glare of publicity must be awful. (let's hope it's just gossip & rumour ).

Oh do shut up...

I bet you look great first thing on a Monday morning...

For some possible causes.

We'll see her tonight on ITT anyway.

It's the hair. Speaking as someone who has also gone from long hair to a shoulder length bob I hope she's not regretting it - at least I don't have to share my bad decision with millions of people!!!

can't say that I noticed - really looking forward to the show tonight!!! woohoooo..........Claudia, we still love you - ignore any comments here......eagerly awaiting the masterclass now though!!!

Der Chef says

Hey what do you expect shes a Radio 2 DJ

Old and tired goes the territory

Ohhh Yeah

Don't hold back, peeps! Tell it like it is!

She's not conventionally pretty in any case. She has a lovely smile and is very warm and engaging so a quick shot of her doesn't mean much as she isn't a typical girly-cutie-girl. Poor woman...but yeah, she did look a bit wan.

Claudia is lovely!

She's got an older hairstyle now, but she's still an absolute babe.

I still vividly remember her on that "I'm glad your here" programme (or whatever it was called) in her school uniform....now if only she'd wear that on strictly!

There are some mean people on DS. I think Claudia is lovely! She always looks great and has a super bubbly personality that makes her totally adorable!
