Strictly Come Dancing star Claudia Winkleman has revealed that she waltzes around naked at home – much to the horror of her teenage son.
The presenter says she and her movie producer husband, Kris Thykier, like to wander around their house in the nude despite the protests of Jake, 15.
The couple also have a daughter Mathilda, 12, and younger son Arthur, aged seven.

‘Everyone is naked. It is like, “Let’s all have lunch. Take our clothes off first… I have made a fish pie”,’ said Winkleman, 46.
‘The 15-year-old is appalled but the whole point about mums is that they are meant to be embarrassing.’
The TV star explained that she first experienced naturism as a child. Her mother, Eve Pollard, was a newspaper editor and her father, Barry, a publisher.
‘We were always naked,’ she said, before adding: ‘And I married a Danish man. He has never got his clothes on.’
Four years ago, Mathilda suffered serious burns when her Halloween costume was set ablaze by a candle.

In a podcast for Sali Hughes Beauty, Winkleman also discussed the inspiration for her Gothic style. ‘One was the Rio video by Duran Duran,’ she said.
‘The other was Transvision Vamp and [lead singer] Wendy James. She had all eye make-up and all messed up hair.
‘I used to read Mystic Meg and I think that was it. I think it is a kind of a safety blanket.
‘If I have all black going on then I feel like myself. I hate gloss. You won’t see me in a gloss. I can’t bear long nails. I can’t open a can or help anybody.’
