Claudia Winkleman has opened up about her ongoing health battles, admitting she is "falling apart" due to poor posture and vision problems. The 53-year-old broadcaster, known for hosting BBC's The Traitors, revealed she has enlisted a personal trainer to fix years of slouching.
Speaking on Gabby Logan's The Mid.Point podcast, Winkleman explained that she has never used her latissimus dorsi muscles, causing her shoulders to hunch. "I don't like the look of people standing up straight. It feels somehow cocky, so my stance has always been like a turtle," she said. She now attends Pilates classes to improve her core strength and posture.
Winkleman also discussed her short-sightedness (myopia), which has led to mishaps like walking into walls. Despite two eye operations, she struggles with reading and requires glasses with a +2.5 prescription. "Because I was so short-sighted, by them fixing it, I'm not long-sighted, so I can't really read anymore," she added.
The mother of three continues to thrive in her career, presenting The Traitors, Strictly Come Dancing, and The Piano. The new series of The Traitors premieres on BBC One and iPlayer on New Year's Day at 8pm.
