There’s something about Claudia Winkleman… Anyone who’s met her – OK! included – will tell you that she’s not only hilarious and instantly adorable, but refreshingly down-to-earth, sharp as a pin and effortlessly stylish. She visibly shudders at the notion of being dubbed a “celebrity” and in typical self-deprecating fashion, describes herself as “a short, orange person with a fringe”.
Chuck in her ability to put others at ease and her belief in speaking her mind and it’s easy to see why she’s such a huge hit with her radio and TV audiences.
This month, Claudia makes her welcome return to our screens to co-host Strictly Come Dancing with Tess Daly. She also presents BBC Radio 2’s Claudia On Sunday and is a natural choice for shows such as Best Home Cook.
We know she’s a mean bridge player, never takes her make-up off at night, refuses to have long-length mirrors at home and thinks “famous people are totally unfanciable”. But what really makes Claudia tick?
Having kept her private life just that for so many years, Claudia’s debut book Quite – which takes its name from her favourite word – lifts the lid on everything from her 20-year marriage to film producer Kris Thykier, to her views on ageing, her advice on men and her kitchen renovation mayhem.
She lives with Kris in London with their three children, Jake, 17, Matilda, 14, and nine-year-old Arthur, or “Bear” as he’s known to his family.
Claudia is unashamedly obsessed with her children, once telling OK! she loves “licking them on the face”!
