Career history
Claudia has been working in the television and media industry since the early nineties. One of her early roles on television was appearing on This Morning as a celebrity interviewer. At the turn of the millennium, the TV presenter then began hosting a daily update show for Fame Academy on BBC Three, before taking over Cat Deeley as host of the main show in 2007.
The mum-of-three has also appeared on many panel shows such as Have I Got News for You, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Would I Lie to You?
