Claudia Winkleman is an award-winning and BAFTA-nominated presenter who is one of the most in-demand television hosts today. Combining mainstream appeal with her own brand of wit, she is the perfect host for any event, from large-scale awards to more boutique affairs.
Claudia has successfully managed to claim ownership of two of the BBCтАЩs flagship arts programmes by the clever means of attaching тАШwith Claudia WinklemanтАЩ to their titles, resulting in BBC Radio 2тАЩs The Arts Show with Claudia Winkleman and BBC1тАЩs Film 2015 with Claudia Winkleman and Danny Leigh.
When not discussing the latest Hockney exhibition or chatting about SpielbergтАЩs most recent offering, Claudia loves nothing more than a twirl with Len Goodman. This had the potential to be quite awkward, so thankfully for all concerned the BBC devised Strictly Come Dancing.
For the last three years Claudia Winkleman co-hosted the results show with Tess Daly. Prior to this, Claudia indulged her love of fake tan hosting Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two on BBC2, getting all the behind the scenes gossip. In March 2015, she was awarded the RTS Award for Best Presenter.
In May 2015, Claudia Winkleman appeared on BBC 1тА▓s Watchdog to give an exclusive interview to Chris Hollins about her daughter MatildaтАЩs accident in 2014 and to highlight fire safety issues surrounding childrenтАЩs fancy dress costumes.
In Autumn 2014, Claudia Winkleman became the permanent host of the show, replacing Sir Bruce Forsyth, and teaming up with Tess for the main show. In March 2015, she hosted the The PeopleтАЩs Strictly, which will see the Strictly dancefloor open to members of the public for the first time ever.
Claudia is a huge supporter of Comic Relief and for the last few years has been one of the main presenters for both Red Nose Day and Sport Relief. Rather handily, in 2009, Comic Relief decided they needed more sequins and dancing in their campaign so called on ClaudiaтАЩs knowledge of a тАШfleckleтАЩ to host the first two series of LetтАЩs Dance for Sport Relief/Comic Relief.
ClaudiaтАЩs corporate portfolio ranges from presenting corporate DVDs for John Lewis, Clarks and BAA, to acting as MC for the Samsung 3D TV Launch and fronting campaigns for CadburyтАЩs and Air New Zealand, to hosting numerous awards ceremonies, including the British Fashion Awards 2010, the InStyle Awards, the HSBC Awards, the Campaign Digital Awards, the GQ Food & Drink Awards and the Glamour: Women of the Year Awards, among many others.
In 2020 Winkleman took over the Saturday mid-morning slot on BBC Radio 2 from Graham Norton.
Claudia is a regular contributor to The Independent and LondonтАЩs Evening Standard. She graduated from Cambridge University with an MA Honours in History of Art.
