Claudia Winkleman, the host of Celebrity Traitors, has a distinctive appearance with light brunette hair and a makeup free appearance.
With shoulder length brunette hair flicked over to one side while sporting a make-up free complexion, this Celebrity Traitors star looks completely unrecognisable in a throwback picture taken during her time at Cambridge University.
But this is Claudia Winkleman. The TV presenter, who recently caused a stir following her announcement to quit Strictly Come Dancing alongside her co-host Tess Daly, is seen sat among her peers in a photo from her time at Murray Edwards College, in 1990.
The actress was only 18 when she started out, and she was wearing a knitted navy jumper and pair of white jeans, a far cry from her signature fringe and bold outfits.
Claudia, 53, has long been a fan favorite thanks to her sharp wit and extensive eye makeup.
In a heartfelt social media post, she made it known that she was leaving her Strictly role with Tess Daly.
She said at the time, “It’s very difficult to express what Strictly means to me in words. The best relationship I’ve ever had has been. It has been my life’s work since I started working on It Takes Two in 2004. I’m forever grateful for it.
She continued, “I will never forget Len Goodman’s attempt to explain what a cucaracha is (I still don’t know) and how incredible it was to work with Tess on the results show to co-host on Saturday nights.”
It’s been a privilege to be a tiny part of the magical, glittery, fake tanned train, she continued. The incredible talent of the dancers, the band, the hair and makeup, and costume teams, as well as the incredible production team and creatives are all truly amazing.
She ended her post by saying, “I know the new hosts will be wonderful, and I’ve always believed it’s best to leave a party before you’re fully prepared to go.”
The TV personality, who will host Celebrity Traitors’ highly anticipated finale in a few days, first appeared on Strictly in 2004 as the spin-off show It Takes Two.
Years on, she landed the role to co-host the main BBC show. Explaining how the phrase “right place, right time” worked for her , she revealed in her autobiography Quite : “Strictly has been (I don’t want your stomach to turn, so please be prepared) a gift to me. A barnstorming, stonking, thunderbolt of a present.”
She continued, “I started working on It Takes Two in 2004. My son was a baby when they said, “Look, can you talk about the Foxtrot every night live at 6:30 PM,” and there had already been one series. I could spend the morning with him before going to work. I am aware. I was incredibly lucky during the six-week run. After that, I continued to present the results, and when Sir Bruce left, I was given Tess’s job. Sometimes good fortune just slips your way. How did I, an orange, scruffy, short, and idiot, get to appear in one of the country’s favorite TV programs?
There hasn’t been a better example of right place, right time on earth, she continued, “all I can say is that.”
