to just not get Claudia Winkleman

[funtimewincies]

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 .

funtime my money would be on Davina

Davina's lost weight!

I like her - she is great on Stricly and Film2010 -very funny - I think she takes a bit of getting used to

I love her

Davina looks bloody awful.

I like her. I also really like Lauren Laverne and I like rhianna ( other thread). Perhaps I am odd

My friend was at New Hall with her. She wouldn't lower herself by speaking to any non-luvvies, by all accounts.

I don't mind her although she annoys me on Film 2011 but I don't turn off or hate her for it. I don't even have a problem with her fringe but I do wonder about the eye make-up. She always looks like she is squinting. Or maybe that is the fringe's fault.

I wonder what she would look like without being caked in eyeliner?

YANBU, can't stand her, but I loathe Davina McCall even more. That 80s shouty schtick is done to death, she is not funny.

I can't understand the makers of these programmes being so out of touch.

I was just telling DD that she annoys me, she needs a hair cut and some lipstick. I didn't know who her Mum was either

Claudia looks like she is squinting because she has really bad eye-sight !

I don't mind her .:)

Bugger me, till I read this thread I thought her mother was Judith Chalmers

I thought her mother was Chrissie Hynde!

She's not as pointless as Peaches Geldof. I wish she'd cut her fringe though. Can't watch Film 2011 anymore though, she annoys me too much. Or at least her fringe does.

I think she's charmingly bonkers but her hair makes me want to maim and kill. I wish she'd ditch that horrible fringe.

I love Claudia. Doesn't take herself too seriously and is very very funny. Mentions having a lie down and biscuits an awful lot which just adds to her charm.

And Davina looks great tonight btw.

Oh I like Claudia. She seems very self-deprecating and down to earth. I think she gets a lot of stick.

My sister can't stand her and I want to be her - she's great and I love her hair!
I love the way she is quite giddy and doesn't think she's gorgeous and brilliant like some other presenters.
Cannot abide Davinna M and Fearne bloody Cotton - what is with their stupid voices and the crap they comes out with - grrrrr!!

What are your thoughts on Dermot?
I think he used to be quite cutting edge but he's gone very main-stream and predictable(bloody x Factor indeed!)
My DD calls him FrogMan Kermit and since she first said this he does, actually, remind me of Kermit the Frog!
Sorry for high jacking the thread but thought we'd done Claudia to death (so to speak !

I love her and the shoes she wears on Film 2011.

A friend knows her in RL. Apparently she's great fun, a great girl. I like her :)

I also think she's gorgeous and can wear anything. Grr, hate her

Is she pregnant again?

DH thinks she's "meh" and doesn't understand my It Takes Two addiction.

Although after 5 minutes of Davina he said, "God, she makes that Claudia look like a consumate professional."

Yes, she is pregnant.
