DH says no way and I’m not that keen.
I might actually wait and see the Feedback on GN.

Claudia fan here! Excellent foil for Tess on Strictly and very caring of the competitors, brilliant on Traitors, always witty and fun, but absolutely penned in at Crufts - such a stupid decision to engage her for that!

Really like her a lot and everything she does and why is everyone obsessed with her fringe! It reminds me of my father going on about long hair on men in the 60s/70s - all that angry intolerance!

Because I can feel it going in my eyes when I look at her!!

Mollygo - definitely not. I'd like to see her, Amanda Holden & Alan Carr in one of Musk's rockets to Mars, all with one way tickets.

But it helps. Or it used to until the Universites dumbed down to accept students who weren't Privately educated.

The incredibled rise in numbers of those who have dropped out since, during and at the end of the first year, is phenomenal. They just aren't used to the discipline and self-motivation required at Uni'. Now it's all dumbed down so doesn't really matter.

Sadly, nowadays, a University Degree doesn't hold the kudos it used to.

We like Claudia, she's funny and doesn't take herself seriously. Will record the show as it's on late.

petra, I share your concerns about the climber owner. Initially, I thought he was an over the top enthusiast but by the time he was interviewed by Claudia my keep away antenna was shouting

It could not have been more obvious if he’d had a badge on his lapel saying keep away, dangerous.
You know much better than me the link between hurting animals and, I’ll leave it there 😉

We're not talking about now.

This was years ago.

Do I wat to watch it or not 🤔

Yes. I think she seems like a lovely person. I don't like her fringe much but would love thick shiny hair like hers.

My partner took against him straight away as he said he doesn’t like men who call women darlin’says it’s disrespectful.

DamaskRose Thu 12-Mar-26 15:22:43

I love her and never even think about the fringe. But I don’t like chat shows so won’t watch. It’s Claire Balding who puts me off Crufts, don’t like her in anything …

Greciangirl Thu 12-Mar-26 15:39:35

Over exposure.
She is presenting far too many programmes.
Does she really need all that work.
I often wonder how much time is left for her family.

Petra , I read after Crufts that years ago he was convicted of cruelty, including to Clumber spaniels . There we are then

Peaseblossom Thu 12-Mar-26 16:20:14

I didn't know about the show, but I don't watch anything she is in, because I find her very annoying with all the stupid gurning and her silly hair. Can't understand how she has been so successful.

SaxonGrace Thu 12-Mar-26 17:04:24

I agree GrannyGravy, I like her, she is a very intelligent presenter, her fringe and looks are irrelevant to me, I much prefer her to the sycophant presenters who appear to love everybody (Lorraine Kelly for example).

Lesley60 Thu 12-Mar-26 17:09:03

Definitely not I don’t like any reality TV and every time I see Claudia I feel like putting her hair out of her eyes, I’ve seen pictures of of her without makeup and she looks much prettier

Millie22 Thu 12-Mar-26 17:13:12

For the first time I really looked at Claudia's hair. It is so glossy and I don't think that's down to her using Head and Shoulders shampoo 🤔

Could it be a wig. The ends are perfectly cut as they would be if you had just been to the hairdressers but they are like that all the time.

Just saying.

No, it’s got yucky vibes. 😡

WithNobsOnIt Thu 12-Mar-26 17:40:39

Might do.

Undecided.

Cornishgreenhouse Thu 12-Mar-26 17:55:37

Love her; a breath of fresh air and a clever lady too. Personally I wouldn’t judge whether or not I liked someone by their fringe.

BlueBelle Thu 12-Mar-26 17:57:01

Really nit picking about her hair how can you dislike someone because of their hair style Talk about small minded

I don’t watch Crufts but Claire Balding does absolutely nothing for me as a presenter, plain dull she came across no better on Traitors

I thought Claudia was the only decent presenter that Sewing Bee has had

Cossy Thu 12-Mar-26 18:00:13

I love Claudia, but even I didn’t think she was right for Crufts, they should have chosen me!

4allweknow Thu 12-Mar-26 18:00:48

Won't be watching, just not keen on her as a presenter. Apparently, the fringe is her comfort, security blanket. Gave a story to some magazine as a joke that it was to help with poor eyesight.

It’s not a wig and apparently the lovely gloss is do to hairdresser using lots of “shine” and blow dry products, non made by Head & Shoulders haha

Can't stand the woman - so "no" from me.
