Claudia Winkleman, host of ‘King Of…’ has given birth to a baby boy.
Claudia, who already has two children, Jake, eight, and five-year-old Matilda, with husband Kris Thykier, is said to be “overjoyed” with the arrival of her new son.
Claudia and Kris welcomed their new son last night, but as yet, the baby’s name hasn’t been revealed.
Claudia, who quit her role on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ spin-off show ‘It Takes Two’ because she would be too busy with the new baby, announced her pregnancy in March.
A source close to the couple revealed, “Kris and Claudia were ecstatic when they discovered there would be a new addition to the family.
“I think it was always part of Claudia’s plan to have a large brood.” Read more & comment »

Claudia Winkleman talks about her pregnancy cravings, Brucie’s Knighthood, missing the forthcoming series of Strictly – and being chased by a penguin.
She tells Close magazine:
You said you’ve put on 3st – what cravings are you having?
All food. I’m going to be frank – I’m eating butter with a spoon. Normally, when I’m not pregnant, I eat a lot of sushi and houmous, I’m really healthy. But the minute I see that blue line I just want! We had a morning when my husband said: “Baby, can I get you anything?” and I said: “A pint of ice cream.” Why not?

So I’m watching Strictly Come Dancing tonight and as if Bruce’s jokes aren’t bad enough, Tess Daly’s wonky eye and unbalanced boobs freaked me out big time. It doesn’t help that she can’t actually present live TV shows, with any semblance of flair.
Tess obviously came from the Kate Thornton school of TV presenting and believes that all lines must appear scripted and any sign of human warmth or spontaneity must be avoided at all costs.

Hell’s Kitchen presenter Claudia Winkleman has revealed that she has some less than platonic feelings towards show chef Marco Pierre White.
In an interview with Celebs On Sunday Claudia admitted:
“I wasn’t sure how I was going to react when I first met him. I thought I might end up putting my hair in bunches, and scratching myself – that’s when you can tell I really like a boy, I start twiddling my hair, and I do it with him, I think. He’s so tall and strong and I come up to his knees, but occasionally he’ll look down and smile at me.”
