Claudia Winkleman is best known for her presenting career, appearing on our screens every weekend on Strictly Come Dancing as well as fronting The Traitors on BBC
Claudia Winkleman has revealed that she is banned from wearing a particular outfit while she presents Strictly Come Dancing. The host said that she had a dream outfit in mind but bosses soon turned down the idea.
The star was speaking to co-host Tess Daly’s husband Vernon Kay on his BBC Radio 2 show last year when she talked about her dream get-up. She said: “I wanted to look like a male mature French student. Let’s call him Jean, he’s in Lyon, he’s on the way to a lecture, he’s studying Physics, and he’s got a scarf on, he’s got a skinny black pair of trousers, he might have a turtleneck.”
She carried on: “On the way, he’s walking, it’s damp, it’s November. Guess what he goes past? A small pirate fancy dress shop, he picks up something. That’s my person.”

However, Claudia didn’t get her wish as she said BBC bosses weren’t keen on her idea. She said: “You can’t dress as Jean, you have to be somebody else.”
Vernon suggested that there has to be at least one week where Claudia could wear what she wanted. He said that she should be able to choose what she wears on Movie Week – which is set to take place this weekend on the latest series.
He said that she should be able to embrace her inner style as the themed week means that contestants dress up as iconic film characters.
Claudia agreed with Vernon’s idea as she rarely strays from her usual iconic look. She said: “The only way to get me out of my uniform is to dress up as somebody.
“One year it was Anita Dobson, my most successful year, the next year it was Pat Butcher. It’s not that you’re dressing like them, because these are heroes, so you’re not taking the mick, but what you’re doing is (thinking) would they think this is alright? Would Anita Dobson say, ‘tick?’.”
Claudia tends to go for a similar look each week on Strictly. She tends to wear some sort of shirt and trousers combo sometimes with a suit jacket.
She then always styles her iconic bob straight with her fringe and goes for her tanned look with plenty of black eyeliner smudged around her eyes.
Celebrity Traitors also kicked off this week – with Claudia at the helm. She also goes for an iconic look when she presents the BBC show as well.
Due to being filmed in the Scottish Highlands, she tends to incorporate some sort of tartan into her outfit as well as always finishing off her outfit with some fingerless gloves.
