Claudia Winkleman has joked she looks just like Meat Loaf.

The 'Strictly Come Dancing' host spotted more than a passing resemblance to the 'Bat Out of Hell' rocker when she started chatting to friends on Zoom during the ongoing coronavirus lockdown.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4, she said: "My mum believed that what you looked like is not interesting.
"So there are no mirrors in my house. In my head I think I look fine. The Zooms began and I was like, 'How interesting, Meat Loaf is in my house'.
"I was like, 'Meat Loaf is moving in the same way as I am. Interesting'. And then I realised it was me."
The 48-year-old TV star insisted she looks a lot like Meat Loaf, but quipped that her signature style is actually modelled on a different rock icon entirely.
She added: "My look, and I do not know if you want to call it a look, is I like to be bright orange, bright white mouth and lots of eye make up.
"That is because I have got very bad eyesight. I cannot really see.
"Basically if it looks anything like Alice Cooper, we are winning."
Late last year, Claudia claimed she doesn't remove her makeup over Christmas, and joked that anyone wanting to mimic her look should avoid "cotton wool and cleanser".
She teased: "I've never taken my make-up off.
"The black smudgy mess you see on my face is layer upon layer of old eyeliner. Some of it might still be on there from the 90s.
"At this time of year I think more is, well, more. Get some black kohl and shove it all over your eyelids... Ban cotton wool and cleanser from the 24 December and you'll have a ball."
