I’ve only just realised that Claudia wears a wig

Watching the traitors and her hair is not real.. cue everyone saying differently but it doesn’t even look like hair at this stage. It’s stiff, sticky and doesn’t move like normal hair..

@MNHQ this is why we need a laugh emoji.

I agree, but @MNHQ doesn't exist.
🤣

I don’t know about Claude, but Kate’s hair looks very wig like to me, I had a very similar shaped one in the 60s ( closest I could get to being Sandie Shaw)and it fooled no one! 🙂

I think her strong stage look means she can walk around incognito the rest of the time, take the wig off and scrub her face and no one looks twice.

Yes I agree. I remember her saying somewhere that she goes on the tube regularly and no one recognises her.

I’ve never ever heard/read that her hair is wig.
She does the Head and Shoulders advert - they wouldn’t get someone with a wig to promote shampoo

Do you really think she uses Head & Shoulders? 😂

ImSoJulia · 15/10/2025 22:30

I thought her and Tess were both wearing wigs on Saturday.

Redcrayons · 15/10/2025 22:31

It’s certainly very glossy and shiny. I hadn’t considered it was a wig.
The tan tonight was hilarious though, she obviously doesn’t take the strictly tanning booth to the Scottish highlands.

Tinatubby73 · 15/10/2025 22:07

But if it's a wig, why is she advertising on the head and shoulders advert? Very false advertising

Do the two ladies advertising discreet incontinent pads actually wear them, and pee all day?

No wig @Allthegoodhorses

Shocked her secret is not head and shoulders 🥺

Blankscreen · 15/10/2025 22:32

Funnily enough I thought she looked a bit different tonight. I wonder if she's had extensions to thicken her hair.

Picklepucklebuckle · 15/10/2025 22:09

all those crying “but what about head and shoulders?!”. You do realise that celebrities often don’t use the product they’re promoting? Do you think Kevin bacon is really on EE for example? They paid her to do a job, not religiously use their shampoo

I thought you were going to say Kevin Bacon doesnt actually eat bacon

SnowFrogJelly · 15/10/2025 22:34

Not a wig!

UnlimitedBacon · 15/10/2025 22:35

Apparently Claudia winkelman DOES use head and shoulders: Yes, Claudia Winkleman does use Head & Shoulders, and she has been a brand ambassador for them, but she states she has used the products for years and genuinely likes them. She specifically mentions using products from the Supreme and Deep Cleanse ranges, and has promoted the Derma X Pro line.

From an interview about her involvement with Proctor & Gamble

I’ve only just realised that Claudia wears a wig
Wimwopadoo · 15/10/2025 22:38

Who cares , good for her , if that helps her to do her job, fine. Lots of performers wear wigs.

NerrSnerr · 15/10/2025 22:40

I can’t believe she’d keep it a secret if it was a wig. She wouldn’t worry about what people think. She’s really honest about her look and happily laughs at herself for it.

PracticallyPeapod · 15/10/2025 22:41

This has been discussed before in here and I stand by the comment I made then.

The Fringe is a hairpiece. It’s too thick. And in the ponytail for the round table it looked a bit weird. So that’s some additional new evidence that I just gathered today.

vickylou78 · 15/10/2025 22:41

I'm pretty sure it's her real hair! She dyes it of course but really her hair.

There's nothing to stop you inserting one.
😂😂😂

MoonWoman69 · 15/10/2025 22:43

@Thingamebobwotsit Did you also notice the sides of her hair on Saturday? Where she'd scraped the ponytail back away from her fringe? Even my husband said she looked like she was bald at the sides and it didn't look quite right!

LeanToWhatToDo · 15/10/2025 22:44

She does Head And Shoulders ads so I doubt it's a wig

Waterbaby41 · 15/10/2025 22:52

Not a wig! Just a professional hair stylist in tow!

Fridayismyfunday · 15/10/2025 22:53

I always assumed it was a wig.

I know, but scrolling through posts of just 😆 is one of my MN pet peeves. Even though the powers that be have now made me become one of my own nemeses 🤦.

Maybe they should make us sign a pledge first, I hearby promise to use the power of the laugh emoji wisely and with great responsibility.

Anjo2011 · 15/10/2025 22:58

Her fringe was a totally different colour and texture to the rest of her hair when she was on Strictly last weekend, it was in a ponytail. I’m not sure it’s a wig but there are definitely hair pieces/extensions going on.

PrizedPickledPopcorn · 15/10/2025 23:01

She was recruited for H&S after she said in an interview she uses it , years ago.

But she may have a topper as well, now. Or perhaps use a wig for specific occasions like fannying about in Scotland, looking dramatic. May be easier than styling her own in those circumstances.
