Britain's glorious summer of sport did wonders for TV presenter Clare Balding, reports the Telegraph. And six months after the final medal ceremony at London 2012 – can you believe it is six months? – the multi-talented telly host is still attracting the plaudits. Balding has been named the most "fascinating" person in Britain, according to Tatler magazine. She beat her partner, former Radio 4 newsreader Alice Arnold (14th), the Duchess of Cambridge's dog (50th), and the Queen in the, er, "fascinating" stakes. Turns out it's her 42nd birthday today, too. Have a fascinating day, Clare.
