to just not get Claudia Winkleman

She keeps popping up (this time on Comic Relief) and every time I wonder why. She's just not very good and doesn't seem to bring anything particular to whatever she's presenting on either radio or TV.

I appreciate that having a high-profile mum might have got her a break in the business and good luck to her, but what's the enduring appeal?

Maybe I'm just being a bit thick, but if you genuinely like her, please would you take a few moments to explain why Confused.

I will donate the money I have set aside for Going Out tomorrow night if someone cuts that sodding fringe

Oh, sorry!

All that wasted linkage...

GYAC - men go crazy for Claudia Winkelman. Mention her to the men you know - I guarantee a chorus of phwoars. I think it's the feline charm - just doesn't have the same effect on les girls.

Come to auntie funtime, Claudia, I've got a nice sharp pair of scissors. It won't hurt a bit, I promise Grin.

I've just read your post to dh YusMilady and his reaction was a wrinkled nose. He says that with most women, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, but with Claudia it doesn't add up Grin.

Ooh, really?? Are you sure he's not just saying that to spare your feelings? Is he really going 'phwoar' now you're distracted with MN?

TaudrieTattoo · 18/03/2011 20:01

Good, good lockets - there will be questions later Grin

DilysPrice · 18/03/2011 20:02

YABU, she's lovely and so genuine. She's been presenting It Takes Two live five days a week for months at a time for years and years and I suspect most of the people watching are just doing it because they love Claudia.
I have seen her wearing dark lipstick a couple of times, and it's seriously disconcerting, she looks completely wrong. I even like the fringe, it's nice to see someone who's picked their own quirky look and sticks with it.

funtimewincies · 18/03/2011 20:03

Possibly YusMilady, I shall have a sneaky look at his internet history for sordid sneaky Claudia googling later Grin.

I lurve Claudia Winkleman. She looks like she'd be good fun in the pub.

TidyDancer · 18/03/2011 20:05

YANBU, I bloody hate Claudia Winkleman. She can't present for shit.

JojoLapin · 18/03/2011 20:05

I really like her.

schroeder · 18/03/2011 20:07

Claudia is gorgeous and funny and natural I LOVE HER and so does DH.

And I love her hair she always does nude lips smokey eyes and I think it suits her. Also loving her dress tonightGrin

me too jojo

sfxmum · 18/03/2011 20:08

the first time I ever saw her doing anything was when I caught a bit of this weeks film show thingy, I thought she was all right really, mildly amusing

shmoz · 18/03/2011 20:08

I thought I was BU in the past for hating the fringe, hurrah it's not just me Smile

She should have it cut off tonight, would raise a lot of money for CR

shmoz · 18/03/2011 20:09

fuck me, just looked back at the tv and she's turned into Davina!

JojoLapin · 18/03/2011 20:10

Davina McCall on the other hand... Urgh!

EsioTrot · 18/03/2011 20:11

I think she's great, makes me laugh, seems genuinely warm and so very pretty too.

funtimewincies · 18/03/2011 20:11

Davina McCall versus Claudia Winkleman - FIGHT!

Now that would raise some cash Grin.
