Joking during a recent interview, the Strictly star said she liked "to think the most important thing was what fingerless gloves" she was wearing but "it's just not true" as she went on to detail the Traitors secrets.

During season 2, Claudia's bold red gloves have become the most talked about item so far with her stylist, Sinead McKeefry, being bombarded with questions on where they're from.
