Nooooo - Claudia quit Strictly

[Phacelia]

To spend more time with her family.

I mean, fair enough, new blood is good as long as the job doesn't go permanently to Zoe Bloody Ball, but still, Claudia don't gooooo.

Think it's already gone to Zoe Ball - I read a report a while ago with her saying how thrilled she was to have got the job permanently. I like Zoe, so I'm ok with that .

Oh no! I would have liked the Winkle to have Tess Daly's job not leave. Gutted.

'spend more time with her family'

Everyone's using that this week!

Claudia will be on the Sunday results show still. I will miss her on ITT.

Oh no! I love Claudia she's hilarious

Funny - I would have thought ITT was a more family-friendly show to present in terms of working hours than Film 201[x], where the poor buggers present live in the middle of the night whilst downing Red Bull and trying not to get too wired. I would have preferred Claude to have cut down the number of shows she did (perhaps become the Friday person or the Monday one for the 'Big Elimination Chat') and let Zoe do the others.

But I can't see why she has to offer any explanation as to why she's not coming back, esp using the now rather worn I'm about to be investigated 'spend time with my family' politicians' reason.

I didn't watch ITT last season. I won't watch it this. I probably won't watch Strictly unless they can find some celebrities I've heard of.
