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..

Is a wig you can buy it from Amazon. 😃

If it’s a wig, she has no right advertising shampoo

I think it’s jyst too black. She could do with some
caramel lights

No, she's not going for a naturalistic or even especially "flattering" look (although she looks great). She's going for severe, spooky, Gothic and distinctive, and I'm sure in an interview she said it was also all intended to desexualise her too. Which is good. The obvious thing would be some sexy, Gothic vamp wafting around the castle but it would be trite and not in keeping with the game aesthetic. Severe, slightly scary and definitely not trying to seduce you is perfect.

Which culture are you talking about? Orangutans??

That's made me laugh 😂

Of course it's not a wig , Head and Shoulders would be facing the Advertising Standards Authority and the ad would be taken off air .

Sad post! It's clearly not, she actually advertises head and shoulders. Do you have dandruff?

That's the point of the ads. I thought it was a bloke on now "I didn't know you had dandruff"?

butterpuffed · 16/10/2025 08:07

They're both on the recent one.

Clearinguptheclutter · 16/10/2025 08:08

She’s been on telly for a very long time and back in the day her hair looked a very different texture

Helpplease1011 · 16/10/2025 08:09

Really surprised at the school ground nastiness in these posts. You do realised she might be reading all of these comments don’t you ? She is a mum who is working and most probably has her stage face and look. I love that women are starting to not have their tv careers end when they get above 35. Can we all be a bit kinder to other women please ? So sorry if you are reading all of this Claudia some of us love that you have an individual look and think you are doing a great job.

Exactly the woman bashing because someone dares to not look like a sexual object on tv is astounding

Personally, I was more interested in Kate Garroway’s hair. There seems to be far too much of it and her hairline is very low on her forehead. There seems to only person I’ve ever know with hair like that was wearing a wig.

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.

You think your opinion is additional information?

Did she say this or you @ThatCyanCat because whoever said it knows nothing about gothic fashion.

WatchingTheDetective · 16/10/2025 08:18

And she's not wearing a wig FFS. She's always had fantastic hair.

ilovemeahack · 16/10/2025 08:27

There was one part last night when they were in the breakfast room reeling from Tom’s demise and she walked in with her chunky shoes and tartan trews and I said to my husband that her hair looked like a wig. It was only that particular bit though. Just didn’t move, looked too black, had a weird kink at the back and looked really wig-like. Later at the round table she had her hair up and that was obviously her own which isn’t quite as black IMO. Maybe her roots were showing too much in the morning so a wig was used? There’s no way she hasn’t got greys at her age so the upkeep on that dark hair must be a lot! And I’m not bashing the woman, just making an observation (saw the thread title and had to have a peek!)

Mylittlebobble · 16/10/2025 08:37

I can't imagine that for very high profile people, wigs are a godsend. I love getting my hair done, but it might get annoying being potched with all day every day. I love Motsi's wigs, too. So creative!

Lilington · 16/10/2025 08:38

Was she always orange?
I don’t think so and seem to remember her joking about not wanting the fake tan when she first started being a main host on Strictly.
I think she looked better pale but love her hair and fringe.

ThatCyanCat · 16/10/2025 08:53

It might be that although her naturally fair skin worked well with her other looks, it didn't look quite right on camera for this one now she's going for a very severe, crafted and not naturalistic aesthetic. There will have been screen tests; perhaps the slightly unnatural skin colour looked better with the white lips and very stylised hair.

DonaldJohnTrump · 16/10/2025 08:59

One of my guys has just come out of his Square Room, down the Rectangular Corridor and into the Oval Office and put this picture on my beautiful bigly desk.

It's before she seen me and adopted 'The Presidential Look'

I’ve only just realised that Claudia wears a wig
zingally · 16/10/2025 09:14

I'm fully on board with it didn't USED to be a wig. But I would suspect nowadays that there's some very good hairpieces hidden in there, if not a full wig. It's just too... plasticy-looking and "too much" for a woman in her 50s.

WhatdoesitmeanKeith · 16/10/2025 09:31

I think Claudia’s great at keeping any aspects of her personal life totally separate from work. If you ever see her interviewed she is great at deflection with humour and never gives anything of herself - just uses these little sound bites about being all fringe and boots etc. Very clever.

You, madam, are a genius.

Petilla · 16/10/2025 09:34

I had wondered this also about her wearing a wig, but she had her hair up in a ponytail recently on SCD which definitely wasn’t a wig and her hair still looked as good IMO

Bloozie · 16/10/2025 09:39

It's perfectly possible that she uses Head & Shoulders for her natural hair, AND wears a wig.

I also think the colour of her skin is perfectly ridiculous/as bad as Trump's.

I love her though.

Greysowhat · 16/10/2025 09:40

TomatoSandwiches · 15/10/2025 21:39

She's not naturally orange either.

😂

Catpiece · 16/10/2025 09:45

Leave Claudia alone! My son is a black taxi driver who has taken her to her home a few times and said she’s absolutely lovely ❤️
