Claudia Winkleman, one of the co-hosts of the popular BBC show Strictly Come Dancing, has recently shared an unusual revelation about her personal life with husband Kris Thykier. The 53-year-old TV presenter disclosed a surprising detail about her aversion to water, stating that she refuses to consume it under any circumstances.
During an episode of the Off Menu podcast with comedians Ed Gamble and James Acaster, Claudia expressed her deep-seated fear of water, emphasizing that even the sight of a glass of water approaching her sends alarm bells ringing. She adamantly declared her stance on the matter, making it clear that water is a strict no-go for her.
Delving further into the impact of her phobia on her relationship, Claudia humorously shared how her husband’s water-drinking habits pose a challenge for their intimacy. She playfully described the scenario of her husband indulging in water consumption, highlighting the comedic yet genuine struggle it presents for her.
Not limited to water alone, Claudia confessed that her aversion extends to almost all liquids, revealing her preference for a partner who abstains from liquid intake. She humorously expressed her desire for a partner akin to Mr. Burns from The Simpsons, emphasizing her distaste for various types of liquids, including wine.
Having been married to film producer Kris for 25 years, with whom she shares three children, Claudia surprised fans by announcing her departure from hosting duties on Strictly Come Dancing alongside co-host Tess Daly. In a heartfelt statement, Claudia expressed gratitude for the opportunity to host the show and bid farewell to the BBC team with whom she had worked closely.
As fans prepare to bid farewell to Claudia and Tess on the show, the duo’s camaraderie and on-screen presence will surely be missed by viewers.
