BBC The Traitors host Claudia Winkelman left her friend petrified when she drove him around after repeatedly smashing-up her car.
Mark Wogan recalls driving with Claudia Winkleman
The Traitors host Claudia Winkelman has confessed that she is a terrible driver thanks to her eyesight issues, even branding the damage on her vehicle “car kisses”. The 51-year-old made light of her skills on the road with her friend of 26 years, Mark Wogan.
Recalling a time when the BBC presenter owned a Rover, Mark quipped: “Knowing you as I do you, you are essentially clinically blind.” Claudia did not disagree and revealed: “Yes, minus 15."
Mark explained she used to have a car which was “extraordinary” as she had completely ruined it. Although riding as a passenger he described it as being “terrifying”.
He said: “This car was extraordinary, there was not a car panel on it that wasn’t un-damaged.” She hilariously responded: “I like to kiss other cars, that what I like to call it”.
Mark was in disbelief that she drove the car and claimed “there were bits hanging off of it”.
Thankfully, Claudia has since undergone eye surgery, but hinted that she still struggles with her sight.
Mark joked: “How big is your autocue?” Claudia laughed before saying: “Massive, that's why I say, 'The scores are in', just that”.
She also revealed that Tess Daly can relate to her sight struggles and Claudia often goes into her pal's dressing room and takes out her contact lenses for her.
