Claudia Winkleman looks worlds away from her usual self as she ditches her trademark heavy eyeliner after surgery
Claudia Winkleman looked worlds away from her usual self as she shared a makeup free photo after an eye operation on Friday.
The TV presenter, 53, ditched her trademark eyeliner for a photo with her doctor Julian Stevens following the procedure.
The Traitors host told how she wouldn't be able to wear her beloved eye makeup for a few weeks and also has to sleep with goggles on.
She wrote: 'This amazing human makes me see. He's operated on my eyes before and he did it again today. No eyeliner for weeks and I sleep in goggles (no words) but I'm eternally grateful.
'Do NOT zoom in on my left eye - it's wonky. Thank you Julian. I paid for the treatment, this isn't an ad. I just love him.
'It's very possible I'm still a bit sedated. Night, night.'
It comes just days after Claudia's mother mother Eve Pollard poked fun at her famous daughter's 'orange face'.
During an appearance on Vanessa Feltz 's Channel 5 show on Monday the author, 81, revealed that the Strictly host uses her fake tan and lashings of mascara as a 'uniform'.
Host Vanessa, 63, described Claudia's look as the 'most frequently discussed make-up in this country' to which Eva cheekily asked: 'The orange face?'.
The TV star's kooky eye make-up and fringe was also brought up and her mum said: 'It's a uniform I think it's a funny way it is.'
'I think she's come across it, she didn't start like that and it's a uniform and it suits her and it works and that's it. It makes life simple for her'.
Eve went on to reveal her daughter does at times try a more subdued appearance when not on air, but said the trademark look was now 'part of who Claudia Winkleman is'.
Claudia previously revealed she has turned to two household items back when she was first trying to achieve her 'orange' complexion.
The presenter used Bisto gravy granules and her friends' reused tea bags instead of fake tan.
Claudia appeared on Radio Four's Women's Hour with Emma Barnett when she confessed to the bizarre beauty hack.
Discussing what they do with tea bags once they've made cups of tea, Claudia revealed one her friends at university used to put them in ramekin so they could use them later as a self tanner.
'I'm going back to university here, when everything was reused, and I mean everything.'
While Emma suggested a tea bag could be reused for their next brew, the Strictly presenter added: 'Or fake tan because I've done that before.'
As Emma was stunned, Claudia elaborated: 'Of course I have, and Bisto, listen needs must, needs must.'
Claudia said she puts her old tea bags in the sink which drives her husband Kris 'mad'.
She previously confessed her tan is so thick she has to scour it off with a kitchen sponge.
If you use the amount of spray tan I do, you need to scour it off with a kitchen utensil,' she revealed on the In The Bathroom beauty video blog.
'If you were using a Dulux colour chart, if there was one on there that said tangerine, right at the bottom, the one where you say, 'That's going to be too much for our walls', it's not too much for me. Put it on.'
She said her addiction to tanning started while she was a History of Art student at New Hall College, Cambridge.
She said: 'I'd rented a sunbed for a whole term in tiny halls of residence … it was so unhealthy when I think back now.'
