My Take
Claudia Winkleman is, to me, proof that a great host is an art form in itself. A London-born journalist by training, she could simply read autocue, but instead she brings that famous fringe and a razor-sharp, slightly mischievous wit to everything she touches. Steering Strictly Come Dancing for years and then reinventing herself as the deliciously theatrical ringmaster of The Traitors, she won a BAFTA by being unmistakably herself. I love that she refuses the usual presenter neutrality, throwing her personality into the room while still making the contestants the stars. Clever without being smug, she is a broadcaster who makes everyone around her look better.
