Claudia Winkleman opened up in an interview about why she struggles to maintain proper posture. The television presenter, who is fronting the Celebrity Traitors following the phenomenal triumph of the original series, openly discussed the chronic health difficulties she endures, earlier this year. The host even admitted that the challenges she encounters have left her feeling as though she's " falling apart ". Speaking about her posture, Claudia revealed that her stance has perpetually been "like a turtle". Talking about the issues during a conversation with Gabby Logan on The Mid.Point podcast, The Traitors presenter explained she was finally addressing her posture issues with assistance from a fitness instructor, reports The Mirror. "My body is made entirely of crepe," she shared. "[I'm] falling apart. I've got a bad back and I need some form of strength. You know what I mean? I've got my core. They talked to me about parts of my body. They said, 'The problem is you've never used your lats'. I was like, 'What is that?'. Apparently, so my shoulders are up by my neck " She demonstrated her posture, we previously reported , adding: "I don't like the look of people standing up straight. It feels somehow cocky, so my stance has always been like a turtle." The word Lats’ refers to the latissimus dorsi, one of the largest muscles in the back. Pilates can enhance major muscle groups, improve posture, increase flexibility and strength, and boost balance and body awareness. Claudia explained: "I've now got so many backbones. So I go to Pilates and they try and open me up. When they do open me up and I sit or stand like I'm supposed to, like that, I mean, it feels alien." During the same podcast, the 53 year old also provided an update on her ongoing eye troubles. The presenter, who also hosts Strictly Come Dancing , candidly shared her struggle with myopia. The NHS explained: "Short-sightedness (myopia) is a very common eye condition where you cannot see objects far away clearly. It's usually corrected with glasses or contact lenses." Despite undergoing two eye operations, she admitted that the condition has led to mishaps, such as walking into walls and difficulties with reading. While reading is her biggest challenge, she is fortunate to have glasses specially made for her needs. She shared: "Because I was so short-sighted, by them fixing it, I'm not long-sighted, so I can't really read any more. I can with glasses, I've got 2.5." Fortunately, her vision issues haven’t stopped her from enjoying a successful career. She is currently hosting Celebrity Traitors, which airs its finale tonight (November 6), as well as Strictly Come Dancing, where she for now hosts with pal, Tess Daly. The Strictly duo will be stepping down after this season and this year’s Christmas special.
