Claudia Winkleman suffered an embarrassing mishap on her dream job - and admitted that she refused to make eye contact with anyone working on the show for fear she'd be fired
We've grown used to seeing Claudia Winkleman steal the show on Saturday night's at the Strictly ballroom, and expertly guiding sometimes hapless contestants on The Traitors . But despite her professionalism, the 52 year old telly favourite once recalled a hilarious incident where her hosting skills on her "dream job" weren't quite up to scratch.
She continued: "I'm phenomenally bad at it - I once had hiccups most of the way through - and am convinced I've been given the job by accident. I try not to make eye contact with anyone when I'm there. That way, I think they can't fire me." In a more recent interview, from December last year, Claudia revealed that she actually considers imposter syndrome to be a good thing as it helps keep her on her toes and at the top of her game.
"I’ve met people who don’t have it – they’re awful. I think it’s okay to think, 'How have I got here? When are they going to find out?', and 'I’m really not that good!'. And I want to instil that in my kids, too. Entitlement is not fine."
