Claudia Winkleman, we don’t know who you are but you reckon you’re a real dead ringer for Meat Loaf.
The Strictly Come Dancing host jokes that when she sees herself in a full-length mirror the hulking American Bat Out Of Hell singer stares back at her.
Petite 5ft 5in Claudia, 48, explained: “We don’t have a full-length mirror. But if I stay at places I will often look up and go, ‘Why is Meat Loaf here!’
“I’ve interviewed him once but I don’t know him. Why is he in my room moving like I am?”
Meat, born Marvin Lee Aday, once tipped the scales at 19st although the 73-year-old is now 14st, which he credits to being a vegetarian.
Claudia, the face of Head and Shoulders shampoo who earns about £370,000 a year at the BBC, said she did not care about cultivating a glamorous image as she approaches her 50s.
She said: “I don’t want to get old gracefully. I don’t want a twin set. I never want to look polite.
“I want to look like I’ve slept in a skip. That is the whole point of me.
“I just worked out what I want to look like – like I’ve slept in gravy.’
Claudia, speaking on a podcast, added: “I feel sort of 72. Even though my face is falling off, my stomach is a disgrace, my knees are now wholly made of crepe, I love getting older.
“I can’t wait for 50. I loved 40. My 40s have been excellent. And I think 50s will be even better. And 60s, better than that.”
Perhaps she should just keep away from full-length mirrors.
