More info Television host Claudia Winkleman has provided an insight into her thought process when presenting television shows. Claudia, 53, who co-hosts The Piano alongside Mika and Jon Batiste, has been speaking about she keeps her emotions in check during filming. She explained that the reason is because it is her job to support and empower people rather than get caught up in the moment. She told the Radio Times Magazine that after one episode of The Piano, she was told by her father it was some of the best work she had ever done. On the importance of being emotionally stable whilst filming, Claudia said: 'Because when somebody's telling you their story and the power of it is overwhelming, my job is to give them some strength and safety.' Claudia added: 'After my dad watched last year's final, he phoned me up in tears and he said, 'That's by far the best thing you have ever done'. And that's enough for me, because I can never watching anything I've done back.' Claudia's career has been in the spotlight in different ways in recent days after fellow presenter Vernon Kay played a clip of one of her first television appearances on his BBC Radio 2 show in which she gave dating advice. Remarking on the Claudia's early television appearances, Vernon said: 'It's time to dive into the BBC Archive for our midweek trip into the vault. We're taking our second visit to the '90s in recent days. 'Back in 1996, Claudia Winkleman wasn't known as 'Claudia from Strictly', or 'Claudia from the Traitors', or 'National Treasure Claudia Winkleman'. No, no, no, no! For one of her first TV appearances, we saw a whole different side to our Claud. 'Long before Morning Live was around, we had Good Morning with Anne and Nick on BBC One with Claudia introduced as a 'Chat up expert'. This is genius.' Claudia is now one of the country's most treasured presenters having taken the reigns for Strictly Come Dancing alongside Tess Daly and become presenter of The Traitors. It was with The Traitors that Claudia found renewed adoration among the public, but admitted she worries about her career coming to an end, reported the Mirror. She said: I cannot believe my luck. I always panic because [I'm] freelance. I read out loud on tele and somebody suddenly might turn around and go, 'We are done with her'. 'And, that's OK, they can, and I give them full permission and I get it, I'd be like, 'byesy bye, night night, thank you, I've had a lovely run'.' The final of season three of The Piano airs tonight (May 25) at 9pm on Channel 4.

Oscar winner Cate Blanchett aims to give up acting
Actress Cate Blanchett, who is known for her roles in movies, including Aviator and Blue Jasmine and has been a two-time Academy Award winner, shocked her fans when she expressed her wish to step away from acting and the film industry one day. During an interview with the UK's Radio Times Magazine, the actress admitted that she thinks of giving up acting because she aspires to try different things in life. While introducing herself, the actress reportedly hesitated to announce herself as the actress, which was pointed out by co-director John Tiffany. She replied, "I did, didn't I? It's because I'm giving up," as quoted by Deadline. The Black Bag star clarified, "My family roll their eyes every time I say it, but I mean it. I am serious about giving up acting." She added that there are "a lot of things I want to do with my life." While narrating her experience as a celebrity, the actress remarked that she doesn't love the interview process. "No one is more boring to me than myself and I find other people much more interesting. I find myself profoundly dull. When you go on a talk show, or even here now, and then you see soundbites of things you've said pulled out and italicized, they sound really loud. I'm not that person," she said. The actress will also appear in the star-studded alien invasion comedy Alpha Gang by the Zellner brothers. (ANI)
