Claudia Winkleman has laughed off the ravages of time as she says she is more worried about her bridge game than looking glam.

The Strictly Come Dancing co-host, who turned 50 in January, insists she does not care what she looks like because her mum, former Sunday Express editor Eve Pollard, has always insisted looks and body shape do not matter.

Asked about her body changing at this stage of her life, Claudia said: “My face (is) actually physically falling off, and my body is, like, made of crepe all of a sudden. It’s OK, it’s fine.

“I’ve never been to the gym – I don’t care. But I was brought up by a woman who had no mirrors in the house. I have no pretence about what I look like. Because what we looked like, she always said, was the least interesting thing about us.
