Great to have a 50 something, successful, intelligent, warm, funny and incredibly stylish woman catching the attention of the nation…..what’s not to love.

I adore Claudia. I’m particularly loving the unifying power of the force that is Winkleman. Who’d have thought it on MN?!
I’ll await dissent now I’ve typed this…

The only reason even know who she is is because of the Head and Shoulders ad: to me she is synonymous with anti dandruff shampoo.

I always assume that celebs don’t actually use the products they advertise. Do you believe Holly Willoughby bottle dyes her own hair? Grin

She is brilliant and better than any of the other traitor hosts I’ve seen.

I like Alan Cumming in the US version (though not the contestants so much). But Claudia is superb.

isthatmyage · 23/01/2025 23:37

She's super brilliant and funny, oh and a Cambridge graduate 🥰

I don't know anything about Holly Willoughby, apart from I've heard her name. I don't know what she looks like.
Does she advertise hair products too?

Alex Drake · 23/01/2025 23:45

I also think Alan Cummings is a brilliant host of the US traitors, he would've been great at the UK one too had he been in it from the start. It's definitely Claudia's gig now though.

I seriously wish I could see her eyes, though. I get sensory anxiety imagining that fringe touching her eyeballs.

This. The thought of hair in my eyelashes makes me really quite uncomfortable/nauseated.
She is completely fabulous though.

Nonstoprain · 24/01/2025 00:00

Always loved her, v smart (Cambridge, I think?) v funny and cool..want to be her!

Screamingabdabz · 24/01/2025 00:07

I love her too. Funny and cool and still rocking the middle-aged-wealthy-goth look. She is an inspiration.

BarneyRonson · 24/01/2025 00:08

She’s gorgeous isn’t she! So original. Absolutely love her, her look, her Trump Tan and everything about her.

Loved a couple of weeks ago when she entered one of The Traitors tasks held aloft on the shoulders of two masked "Traitors". It was iconic and made me love her even more than I already did.

She wasn't being held up by the traitors!

GoldenSunflowers · 24/01/2025 00:15

The host for S1 Australian Traitors is very good too.

healthybychristmas · 24/01/2025 00:38

Yes he is brilliant isn't he! Claudia is the best though. I just absolutely love her and her clothes are fantastic.

MolluscMonday · 24/01/2025 00:39

Other than H&S, does anyone know how she gets that shine to her hair? I am bewitched by it…

My best friend too! Well along with Nicola Walker. (Well they would be if they knew me)

Nicola Walker would be too busy sighing to be your best mate (drives me bonkers when she's on the screen!)

Love Claudia though!

SnowFrogJelly · 24/01/2025 00:50

I love her sense of humour

Agree

lovinglaughingliving · 24/01/2025 00:51

I love her too! Will miss her when traitors is over!

GreenLeaf25 · 24/01/2025 00:52

Sometimes I wish I could wipe off her dark eye shadow and pink lipstick because she'd look so much fresher but I absolutely love her! And if that's her look, who am I to comment?!

The Claudia
Ratri · 24/01/2025 01:09

I know literally nothing about her other than she definitely doesn’t have dandruff and she presents Traitors, but I thought she was very sweet on Graham Norton firing up in defence of the Traitors contestants when people were mocking their spelling. She was making it humorously clear she was definitely in their corner.

(Clothes on Traitors not quite as fabulous as last season’s? Other than the big coat and the kilt. I loved the goth kilt.)

Pumpkincozynights · 24/01/2025 08:06

I love it when she screams ‘Go!’ at the contestants during a challenge and they all instantly scurry along. She’s like your favourite teacher who is mostly lovely and calm, but when they get angry or annoyed you know to stfu and do exactly as they say.

She looks SO much like her Mum in this pic! You can kind of see the resemblance these days if you squint, but she's a mini me here.

H&S is well known for stripping colour from hair, especially dyed hair, so I've always assumed she doesn't actually use it given how dark and shiny her hair is! But then I'd always thought she'd be more genuine than that, which confuses me!

MrsK · 24/01/2025 08:38

Another one in the love Claudia camp. A friend of my daughters worked on the first series of the Traitors she said Claudia is lovely

LunaNorth · 24/01/2025 08:44

When she was on The Wheel, she was chosen by the contestant to answer the final question and they got it wrong.

The contestant was going to use the money to buy a wedding dress, and Claudia was bereft. She promised to take her wedding dress shopping and buy her a dress to make up for it.

She bloody did it, too! At the end of the episode, they showed a lovely smiley pic of Claudia and the contestant in the bridal shop, grinning away.

She didn’t have to do that, and she could have just sent her the money. But she kept her promise.

She’s a class act.
