Winkleman was born in London to a Jewish family. Her parents divorced when she was three, and both remarried in 1979. Her mother married Nicholas Lloyd, becoming Lady Lloyd in 1990. Winkleman’s father married children’s author Cindy Black.

1992

In 1992, she began appearing frequently in the long-running BBC series Holiday, and this continued throughout the mid-1990s. This culminated in a special documentary in which she travelled around the world for 34 days reporting from Japan, India, Costa Rica and Dubai. Throughout this period, she appeared as a reporter on other shows, particularly This Morning interviewing various celebrities. During the late 1990s, Winkleman presented a number of programmes on smaller digital channels. She had a stint on the cable channel L!VE TV, but soon left to pursue other projects. In 1996, Winkleman hosted Granada programmes God’s Gift (taking over from Davina McCall) and Pyjama Party (co-hosted with Katie Puckrik and Michelle Kelly).

Winkleman also presented a number of gameshows including the dating show Three’s a Crowd, LWT show Talking Telephone Numbers, the second series of Granada TV show God’s Gift and Fanorama. In 1997 she was the co-host of children’s Saturday morning TV show Tricky. She was also an occasional team captain on a gameshow called HeadJam, hosted by Vernon Kay.

2000

In June 2000, Winkleman married film producer Kris Thykier at Marylebone Town Hall. They live in Westminster’s Connaught Square and have three children.

2001

Winkleman’s first major television job was in 2001, on the regional discussion programme Central Weekend. Between 2002 and 2004, Winkleman began her first daily TV role when she hosted the BBC Three Entertainment update show Liquid News, taking over from Christopher Price on the now defunct BBC Choice. She shared the presenting duties with Colin Paterson, and later Paddy O’Connell. The show featured celebrity interviews.

2003

In 2003, Fame Academy appointed Winkleman to present a daily update show on BBC Three, in conjunction with its second series. She repeated the show in 2005 for the much shorter celebrity version Comic Relief Does Fame Academy. Also in 2005, Winkleman co-hosted The House of Tiny Tearaways, a BBC Three reality TV show. She also began hosting Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two, a supplementary programme to Strictly Come Dancing, taking over from Justin Lee-Collins.

2004

Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two, which started in 2004, was devised as a companion show to run conjoined with the second series of Strictly Come Dancing, and continues to run to date. It follows a similar format to the one Winkleman made popular on Fame Academy, and sees the presenter deliberating and dissecting the ins and outs of the main competition, accompanied by an array of dance experts, assorted guests and the competitors themselves. The show is aired every weekday at 6:30pm on BBC Two throughout the course of the series. The show’s four judges also appear regularly on the programme.

Winkleman has made many guest appearances on panel and talk shows, including: Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Would I Lie to You?, Have I Got News for You, Friday Night with Jonathan Ross and Lily Allen and Friends.

She fronted the nightly show live from the restaurant in East London in its fourth series in the spring.

She co-hosted the show with Tess Daly and guest presenter Ronnie Corbett.

2010

On 29 March 2010, she was named as one of the new co-presenters of the Film programme, replacing Jonathan Ross. The Guardian stated, through her recent hosting of Sky Television’s coverage of The Oscars, Winkleman had “proved both a passionate and engaging advocate of cinema”, while her husband Kris Thykier is a film producer with credits on several mainstream releases.

She hosted a weekly show on BBC Radio 2 every Friday night between 10pm and midnight called Claudia Winkleman’s Arts Show consisting of interviews with people from the arts world, as well as reviews and debate.

2011

On 18 March 2011, Winkleman was one of the presenters of BBC’s Comic Relief. In 2012, she was one of the judges and the host of the FilmNation shorts at the British Film Institute, which as part of the Cultural Olympiad for London 2012, encouraged young people aged 14–25 to get involved in film making.

2012

In 2012, it was announced that Zoë Ball would be the regular presenter of Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two, with Winkleman’s involvement in Series 10 of the show being limited to co-hosting the Sunday night results show with Tess Daly.

On 31 October 2014, Winkleman’s then eight-year-old daughter Matilda was taken to hospital after being seriously injured when her Halloween costume caught fire. Winkleman stated that the costume brushed against a candle in a Jack O’Lantern. Winkleman was subsequently replaced by Zoë Ball as host of Strictly Come Dancing for three weeks. This incident prompted the government to tighten the flame retardant standards of Halloween costumes.

In 2015, she appeared on The Big Fat Anniversary Quiz. In May 2015, she appeared on an episode of Watchdog on BBC One. In November 2016, Winkleman presented the one-off BBC special Bublé at the BBC with Michael Bublé.

In 2018, she starred in a TV commercial for Procter & Gamble’s Head & Shoulders Suprême premium shampoos and conditioners designed for women.
