I'm a frothing mess literally i can't take it. The way it hangs in her eyes and she makes no effort to move it.
Its stopped me being able to watch strictly for years. I'm trying to watch now for the kids but her fringe is unbearable.

Am i the only one feels like this?

I imagine she likes it as she has had it like that for a while hasn't she?

I think it looks nice but couldn't cope with a fringe that length myself as it would drive me nuts always in my eyes.

Not sure why it would put you off watching a tv show tho? Bit of an extreme reaction to a hairstyle?

I like a long fringe personally

Hides my wonky eye Grin

I believe Claudia wears her's long for the same reason

Avoiding the show because of it seems a little extreme

oneplus2is3 · 14/10/2017 19:56

I'm sure I read somewhere that she wears it like that to hide a non-corrective squint. Don't know for sure but it makes sense.

WindyWednesday · 14/10/2017 19:58

I'm sure she has it to hide an eye problem. I think I recall she has a degenerative eye condition.

TBH I love Claude. I admire her bravery in returning to the show after her daughter's awful accident.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 14/10/2017 20:00

My DH fancies her. When I’m older I’m gonna have a fringe like that too, to hide the forehead wrinkles! Grin

ethelfleda · 14/10/2017 20:00

YANBU - I completely agree. And dislike her as well. I don't even know why!

llangennith · 14/10/2017 20:01

She is often told to cut it by tv people.

quickname · 14/10/2017 20:06

Arghh fancying claudia must surely be grounds for divorce?

I think she's an awful presenter. I'm more even more furious that she's the highest paid woman on BBC!

Ooo yes I agree I find it so annoying. But at the same time I am oddly jealous of it and wish I had the courage to get a fringe ( a wish I had the silky, swishy, straight hair required).

TheGrumpySquirrel · 14/10/2017 20:07

😂😂😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Whisky2014 · 14/10/2017 20:09

I think it draws more attention to her eyes. Seems weird to me. And I agree, shite presenter

permatiredmum · 14/10/2017 20:10

There is an entire board for 'sleb twaddle'

stella23 · 14/10/2017 20:10

Thing is it's her thing, she almost can't get rid of it now. And yes she shit at presenting

Hassled · 14/10/2017 20:11

I really like Claudia, and I really like her fringe. I sort of want one of my own.

I'll get my coat.

Lottieskeeper · 14/10/2017 20:12

I would love one just like it. She is my fringe idol!
Sadly my glasses get in the way of a long fringe so I have to keep it shorter.
But seriously I think it's a good look & didn't realise how unpopular it was.

PandorasXbox · 14/10/2017 20:12

I like her too! Love her daftness.

Callamia · 14/10/2017 20:12

I love her.
And I love that fringe.
I basically want to be her.

Slimthistime · 14/10/2017 20:14

I fancy her and i'm not even a lesbian.

I also heard it was to cover up an eye problem.

BuzzKillington · 14/10/2017 20:17

I don't watch Strictly - mostly because I cant bare Tess Daly - she reminds me of Marti Caine, when I was a child.

If I could be bothered, I would watch it for Claudia - I love her.

derxa · 14/10/2017 20:17

She's awful

IndianaMoleWoman · 14/10/2017 20:18

I love Claudia. How dare you!

thenightsky · 14/10/2017 20:19

Claud is my girl crush.

lalaloopyhead · 14/10/2017 20:21

i absolutely love claudia, i do sometimes wonder about her fringe but it has always been like that, and as much as anything is a bit of a trademark for her.

centreyourself · 14/10/2017 20:21

Another one in the Claudia fan club here.
Also agreeing about the eye thing.
I'm sure she cut it a while back and it just didn't suit her.

LaGattaNera · 14/10/2017 20:22

Love her but whilst I too have a fringe, hers is rather long but so long as she is happy, no harm.
