She revealed she very nearly broke character after a funny comment was made by one of this year’s contestants. With several comedians entering the iconic castle this year, Claudia said she finds them all funny – but one of them in particular made her laugh so much that she ‘had to hide in a bush until she composed herself.’
The 54-year-old presenter revealed that it was Rob Beckett who was behind the funny comment, but she didn’t share what he said.
She explained: “They all made me laugh. They’re all utterly brilliant and the funniest people on earth.
“Rob Beckett said something that made me hide in a bush until I composed myself.”
Claudia also said that this year’s celebrities ‘excelled’ at the missions, with their ‘amazing teamwork’ helping them to add funds to the prize pot.
