Meet the Trustees

Claudia Winkleman was born in London in 1972. As a child she went to the National Gallery and the British Museum almost every Saturday morning with her father, igniting a passion which eventually led her to study History of Art at Cambridge University in 1993.

After graduation, Winkleman went on to work in television and radio and has done so for the past 30 years. She has hosted shows such as Strictly Come Dancing, The Traitors, The Piano and The Great British Sewing Bee. Winkleman hosted the Radio 2 Arts Show for six years before hosting her eponymous show every Saturday morning at 10.00. In 2023 she won the BAFTA for Best Entertainment Performance.

Winkleman has written weekly columns for The Independent and The Sunday Times and continues to write for The Times. She is a Trustee for Comic Relief, a patron for Child Bereavement UK, and an Ambassador for The King's Trust. Claudia lives in London with her family.
