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 always thought she had the fringe to cover her eyes. Her eyes look slightly, how can I say it 'different' [hum]

letsgetloud · 18/03/2011 23:41

Oh she is pregnant then. Not that it makes any remote difference to my life, but I like to know these things rather than just guess them.

dinosaurkisses · 18/03/2011 23:42

Awh no, she's funny, and who cares about her fringe- have you seen how shiny her hair is?!

MissyKLo · 18/03/2011 23:45

I was thinking the same thing - I hate hate her awful
Doggy fringe. And her tango tan. She is not very good at all.

Someone said that she went to New Hall school, she went to City of London School for Girls then Cambridge.
There's a world of difference between New Hall and CLSG -the former is about 300 A-level points below City.

She strikes me as a girl's girl and not a babydoll (despite the dress!) type of person.

DilysPrice · 19/03/2011 08:19

New Hall College Cambridge was meant I think Kitty, not New Hall.

Bogeyface · 19/03/2011 08:41

I much prefer her sister <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=www.radiotimes.com/content/features/galleries/red-dwarf-back-to-earth/06/mainImage.jpg&imgrefurl=www.radiotimes.com/content/features/galleries/red-dwarf-back-to-earth/06/&h=650&w=450&sz=61&tbnid=McfXOlxx-V5C0M:&tbnh=137&tbnw=95&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dsophie%2Bwinkleman&zoom=1&q=sophie+winkleman&hl=en&usg=__bnly--YA8lw0TjsY6lQW-d3Q2xo=&sa=X&ei=pmuETdKSM4i7hAewr_jKBA&sqi=2&ved=0CCcQ9QEwBw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sophie (half sister actually I think). She is a very good actress and I want to look like her when I grow up!

And I agree that the lipstick CW was wearing last night didnt do her any favours at all.

kittya · 19/03/2011 08:53

Isn't her sister marrying into the royal family or, am I making it up? I love her hair!

JulesJules · 19/03/2011 08:55

I love her. She's smart and funny and I don't care what she looks like.

CURLYMAMMA · 19/03/2011 08:59

I like her. She's different looking, smart and funny (and quite goofy)].

Emo76 · 19/03/2011 09:03

I like her. I like her style too. Read in an interview she doesn't wear jewellery!

Can I take CW and give you instead Davina?

I also think she's great, and very skillful and articulate at what she does in front of a camera. All credit to her. She did better than Davina last night - who I think might have been a bi tiddly.

WereOffToSeeTheWizard · 19/03/2011 17:22

I bloody love Claudia.
She's one of my fave celebs.
seems the sort of girl who you would love to hang out with.
Genuine, funny and a decent person. Well that's how she comes across to me.

Fannybaws1690 · 19/02/2024 22:08

What a horrible stuck up woman Claudia Winkleman is! She absolutely 💯 % Think she is gods gift to presenting! She's arrogant & so up her own arse! Please someone run her over??

giespiece · 19/02/2024 22:40

@Fannybaws1690, goodness you've been waiting a long time to get that off your chest 😂

I just was scrolling there and realised this is a thread from 2011! Wondering why there was no Traitors chat!

Mumof2NDers · 19/02/2024 22:47

I love Claudia. She’s fabulous on The Traitors.

inabubble3 · 20/02/2024 13:20

I love her. She looks effortless, a bit quirky, smart and fun .

But that’s just me. Her fringe is annoying but it’s her trademark now isn’t it. And her lips remind me of the clearasil cover up sticks from the 90s that came in 2 colours.
But I still love her :)
