Will you be watching Claudia’s show?

Definitely not, she was awful in her recent stunt at Crufts and I’ve never understood what anyone finds appealing.

I don't think the surgery thing is strictly true, I saw an interview with her and she just said to that she has always hated her forehead. Also now it's her signature look and she wouldn't change it

It was reported recently that she wears her fringe long because she has myopia for which she has had operations and astigmatism.

Surely that fringe can't be good for her eyes, it must go into them and irritate them?

I don't like anything about her. I'm afraid, she drives me spare, always has.

Definitely not! Another over-exposed celebrity.

As a fan of all chat shows I will definitely watch it. Or record it.

Definitely not as I can't stand the sight or sound of the woman. I loathed her in Strictly

No but each to their own.

I like Claudia, wicked and quirky sense of humour. Not bothered about the fringe, used to it now. Looking forward to the chat show but will probably watch on catch up as it’s on quite late.
Didn’t watch Crufts, just as well by all accounts

No I don’t watch tv.
We did see her in Manchester Piccadilly station hosting the Piano
I couldn’t get over how tiny she was.

Allira

fancythat

No.
Saw her on Crufts.
Didnt think she was at all suitable for the job.

She gushed on Crufts.

What kind of show?
She's the new Graham Norton, I think, Lathyrus
Can anyone replace Graham?

She was good in Traitors.

I never make a point of watching The Graham Norton Show but if I do hit upon it whilst channel hopping I love it. He’s so good at what he does. The first time I became aware of Claudia Winkleman was when she took over a late night film review programme ( did she replace Barry Norman?). And she irritated me because I love films and I didn’t feel that she was a real enthusiast. It might be because of that that I’ve never really taken to her. I remember when Nigella Lawson hosted a daytime chat show that didn’t last long because there’s an art to interviewing people and not many people can do it well. I’ll probably watch this new show out of interest.

Will Claudia actually be ABLE to watch her show? That darn fringe! I hope she doesn't drive - surely her hair limits her capacity to see beyond the windscreen to zilch?

I always think that fringe would cause eye troubles.

I think she's terrific. A refreshing manner, self deprecating and very funny. I'm looking forward to her new show.

If you watch any trailers of ‘Old’ Strictly programmes, her fringe was quite normal length back then.

Claudia fan here, but not a fan of chat shows so I’ll be skipping this one.
notagran55 I also read ‘Quite’ and enjoyed it. It is written just as she speaks, very wry and self-deprecating.

Crufts? Not an area I thought she’d be comfortable with in any way so I was surprised to see her there at all.

Here's an early photo of her with her "horrible" forehead.

I won't be watching it. The shallow world of those who consider themselves to be a celebrity leaves me cold.

I’m not keen on her and don’t like chat shows so definitely no.

She looked so much better before the fringe. I find her really annoying, she must be very intelligent, but she likes to act the fool which detracts from what she is doing and talking about. She is on the telly on lots of different shows, hopefully it's a passing phase, they seem to do that with certain people, then you're sick of the sight of them 🙄.

she must be very intelligent

She has an MA in History of Art from Cambridge

TBH I didn’t even know there was one.
So no.

That's commendable, Allira. She doesn't come across as particularly intelligent, but I assumed that being Eve Pollard's daughter, and going to private school, she would have had a top class education.

You don't have to have gone to a private school to go to Oxford or Cambridge!

I can’t really envisage her having a “chat”, more an interrogation😬. But perhaps that’s going to be the format rather than Graham Norton’s relaxed style.

He does know how to get people feeling they’re in a private conversation. He even got the famously private and spikey Harrison Ford chatting to him as if he was a mate.

I don’t think that will be Claudia’s forte somehow.
