In The Bathroom with Claudia Winkleman Part One

[@chickenmanman]

I'm a 19 year old guy from Canada watching two British women talk to each other while sitting in a bathtub... And I absolutely love it.

[@salihughes]

Hi all I just wanted to address the entirely valid comments about diversity in the talent pool of In The Bathroom With... Believe me, it is something I am HIGHLY aware of, and have been working on redressing over the past few months. Several brilliant women of colour have agreed to take part over the past few months, and we've talked lots about what we'll do, but they and I were waiting for me to find a new director. My usual director became unavailable last year, hence why there was a very long gap between videos. He agreed to come back as a one-off for the NYC trip. For this trip two women of colour were among those approached but for scheduling reasons, they were not available. Recently, I approached several London-based women of colour to take part and at the same time, let them know I was still looking for a good director before I could film (it's actually really hard finding the right person, as they have to be a pleasure for high profile women to have in their private homes, and blend in enough to not affect the vibe in any way), and I started interviewing some promising director candidates two weeks ago. I am interviewing another two next week. While this was all happening, Caitlin suggested we make a new video. As my old director Nat is a really good friend of both of ours and has been round to Caitlin's house lots in the past, he agreed to do it as a one-off on the back of just seeing his mate. Then the week before last, out of the blue, the Claudia opportunity came along and she was about to get her hair bleached and so, desperate not to miss the opportunity, I begged Kenny, a friend of a friend who had previously said he was too busy to get onboard, to abandon some filming he had on to come and help. It was an emergency and he saved the day, but doesn't have availability to do it longterm. So the search continues. I expect it to be over in the next week or so. As soon as I have someone signed up, I can start filming normally again. And then I have some truly brilliant (and diverse) guests locked and loaded and ready to film. They have been kept abreast of what's happening throughout. Anyway, I just wanted to explain, because this issue is something I am extremely aware of and I am wholly in agreement with those who believe it needs addressing. It is not for want of trying, I promise. Sali

[@nazgayle5007]

Sali Hughes really good to hear, best of luck

[@sophiawarrilow]

Sali Hughes I think you were trying to pin this to the top of the comments section but it doesn't seem to have worked. I love In the Bathroom With and think it will be great to see some more diversity, especially given that women of colour will likely have great advice on a different set of products. Pat McGrath would be an amazing guest. Xx

[@mimisapphire8329]

Nigella would be good. X

[@florence1395]

Hi Sali, you said I have my shoes on whilst getting into the beautiful white bath, why did you not slip your shoes off? I personally found this disrespectful. Other way round, would you allow Claudia to get into your bath with shoes on, or would you be polite & ask politely for her too remove them?

[@ThisIsNotRelevant]

Fleur Oh my god. Get over it.

[@electrictwilight]

I love how Claudia managed to turn this into a mutual interview.

[@theredderthebetter1]

Claudia is such a cool, charismatic, interesting, and likeable person. This interview was so fun to watch, and I can’t wait for Part 2!

[@HereDiianas]

Hi she is great but I feel that the most requested not done yet is Lisa Eldridge. What do you all think?

[@elainebines6803]

HereDianna ive never seen Claudia eyes properly and Lisa Eldridge not interested in - my favourites are Charlotte and bobbi

[@MM-dd6ro]

I love Lisa Eldridge but she has done this type of thing loads of times so wouldn't be at the top of the list.

[@biancapilasi4251]

Yes..Lisa Eldridge ..

[@elainebines6803]

J - lisa not on my list, at all - but Claudia's mum is - Eve Pollard - that would be an amazing interview

[@elainebines6803]

Bianca Pilasi NO ....Lisa

[@MrSongs1988]

I don't think I've ever been so gutted about one of these finishing before. The chemistry between you two is electric! I smell a podcast in the making!

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

I smell it too, dark left then because? Of the huge school bell

[@deansmith4765]

She is literally the best person. I want to be friends with the winkle

[@anniewhitmore7627]

Came across this again today - 2022 - and watched it all over - feel the same. Claudia is perfect and Sali was great interviewing her.

[@nyrhtak03]

The minutiae covered in this conversation is BLISS! Loved every second

[@Rougepout]

THE BEST ‘In The Bathroom’ - please do a ‘In The Bathroom with Our Favourite Books, for bathing readers like myself. X

[@ymromero]

As a non-Brit I have no idea who Claudia is but I am in 💕. I need more of her in my life!!!

[@Majolenka79]

I was going to organize my wardrobe while watching this...have not touched anything and I'm heading straight for the part 2 as well. Absolutely brilliant! Thanks Sali

[@lamornalifestyle2599]

She is just wonderful - my favourite of the series yet!

[@dwitriamalia848]

Can't believe you make us wait for another week!! You both are a match made in heaven, could listen to the both of you talking for ever...

[@gsrmania]

The best one yet! Claudia is just glorious ❤️

[@kja1103]

OH MY GOD I LOVE HER! (also, her hair looks amazing!)

[@Gerifan04]

Can I just say I don't think I've had more fun ever just being a viewer. Absolutely brilliant episode!

[@yas_makk]

Same! :D

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

So what's your opinion on this puffer fish vase? Because like I said it's huge. More crop

[@TechNed]

I'll watch anything with Claudia in it. So much fun! Wonderful chat. Thank you.

[@cestlasophia]

Always love Claudia. Joanna Lumley would be a great shout!!

[@fannygoldbee7660]

5 mins into this interview and this is already justifying my eager anticipation. Love both these women xx thanks Sali & Claudia. Totally made decorating my attic bearable as I was able to zone out and watch / listen to you. 👍

[@mazgriffiths8922]

Would love to see Boy George in his bathroom. Thought he looked so handsome this week on Who Do you think you Are and his use of make up (esp on his eyes) is really good

[@salihughes]

Would kill to do one with him, obvs. And RuPaul. And Julian Clary.

[@bronwynjohnson999]

brilliant suggestion! he would be fab!

[@abiruscombe-king3578]

Yep. That’s the one. My absolute favourite ITB. Amazing, natural, chatty, top women hanging out and talking. Love it.

[@theresamtreats]

This was the most fun hour ever ! I loved this and I love her! I cant wait to see her products. Such a gorgeous video!!

[@cohenwearsprada]

Love Claudia Winkleman, her column in the Sunday Times Style Magazine is priceless, can’t wait for part 2,3,4 😂

[@adriana7144]

I have never really enjoyed Claudia as a tv presenter, but she seems like a blooming brilliant person - clever and funny and a great outlook on life. Loved this. Looking forward to part 2

[@MsOdgar]

Hi Sali , I loved your fragrance video you did some years ago , I love and know all the brands you mentioned and collect fragrances. Any chance of asking your celebrities what fragrances they wear? 😊

[@anenglishwife4399]

Max Martin I agree and also adored Sali’s collection.

[@LauraByrne]

I think this is the best KZbin video I’ve watched in a long time! My favourite kind of conversation. Can’t wait for part 2.

[@rexmarty100]

Can you PLEASE do an in the bathroom with Florence Welch her bathroom is AMAZING she has a Freida Kahlo altar

[@ursulacurtin835]

Where did Sali get her dress? I want one.

[@mybabysaidtome]

Given Frida Kahlo was a committed communist, she would've hated the commodification of her image for posh rich white women trying to be 'kooky'.

[@mobutzdakota60]

She is just the most fabulous! Best “in the bathroom” yet!

[@lewis6180]

Almost two hours with Claudia! HEAVEN.

[@sazguest]

COULDN’T love this more! Can’t wait for next week hope it’s long X

[@mimisapphire8329]

Just fabulous, thankyou to both of you 💕 If you do give some product names, would you let us know Claudia's nail polish pls. I've been looking for a soft white just like that xxx

[@Truth1561]

Bonkers as a box of frogs - long may she continue .

[@emilyboyes3366]

Can’t wait for next Saturday!! Would love to see an ITBW, with Lisa Eldridge, Pat ‘Mother’ McGrath and Wayne Goss. However, would make time to watch any of your Interviews, Sali. Thank you!

[@hamkat1910]

This is possibly the best thing I’ve seen ever. LOVE Claudia and Sali too. More please!

[@lesleygorman3894]

Thanks Sali.....an absolutely superb episode. Well done on getting Claude into the bathroom xxx

[@HereDiianas]

I actually really love the part where you talked about esthetical beauty of kids. Especially nowdays where we have fashion Instagram pages for kids or KZbin channels which focused on kids with strangers putting comments and likes depending on how they look and act. I agree so much with what you said. Although my mum told me that I was beautiful and I am glad she did, she emphasised so much more on inside beauty and achievements and culture and working out and having fun and being nice and creative, on education etc... I love to look good but that's not my priority number 1 at all. None of us knows how long beauty is gone last. We may get hit by a Van on our face tonight. So we better enjoy more other parts of ourself!

[@kirsty1997]

This was a joy to watch - at one point I almost felt guilty for eavesdropping on a conversation between two best friends. And the best bit - there's a second part! You both inspire me so much, thank you 😊

[@annfarr4605]

What enormous fun. Thank you. The best! Now looking forward to all 17 parts :) !!

[@roliboom]

This is by far my most favorite In the Bathroom interview!👍 So enjoyable to watch and really funny too😃Can't wait for next week!

[@alanaveira9723]

I love in the bathroom series. I missed them can’t wait for part two.

[@pamelamilne9843]

Absolute best episode ever! I LOVE Claudia! Sad I have to wait a week to watch part two! Thanks Sali, fab as always 👌

[@mareliwel]

Wow. Loved this. Have taken on board the parenting advice. Was told all the things about my appearance by all sorts of family members. You are so right - no help at all in the big picture. Still trying to get through the video as I’m a mother of two toddlers but so happy that it’s a good long one! Thank you.

[@larainejames111]

Oh wow this is the best one I have watched to date and I cannot wait until next Saturday, love love love Cluadia she is just amazingly funny and natural!

[@megs_holland]

As an Australian, I hadn't heard much about Claudia - but this video had me captivated! (And your dress Sali is fabulous!)

[@louisestevens2255]

I think...this might be my favourite episode. I had to watch in instalments to make it last longer. Thank you both x

[@katkakon]

Ive been feeling really shit but this has made my day! I laughed for goodness’ sake! Love you Sally and Claudia! What a legend!

[@sarah_hedges_creates]

OMG I just love Claudia! This was brilliant! Can’t wait for part 2 x

[@-sismeistere1343]

Thank you so much for sharing this video! Absolutely loved it. Also I loved your picture from your Guardian article today. Gorgeous look and make up! Have a great weekend! X

[@gailbourne5697]

This was very enjoyable. Just love Claudia and can't wait for part 2.

[@amylaver]

i love that this feels like a genuine chat and yes to more diversity!

[@colleenanne4032]

I love this! I adore you both. My soul needed your fun and light. Thank you both. Xo

[@rockymillie4650]

omg i love this chat so much!! thank you Sali for this amazingly funny interview. Can't wait for part 2.

[@rachaellchambers]

Best ‘in the bathroom’ ever! Loved this!!

[@anniehall709]

Ok....well I’ve watched this three times now 😊 can’t get enough of Sali and Claude together...more,more!! 😍xx

[@EEN63]

What fun this was! I can't wait for part 2, 3, 4... etc., however, I may skip part 17. I think I have enough feces in my life (literally and figuratively) that I certainly don't need a video about it! LOL Claudia is absolutely delightful, kooky and full of life! Would love to see you check out her mum's bathroom! This was thoroughly enjoyable! Thank you for this wonderful thing you do!

[@dobcsek]

I have been living in the UK for 10 years and I know who Claudia is by face, but hardly every watch telly so I didn't realize she was that funny,. I am obsessed now! Wish she was a friend of mine! Can't wait the second part.

[@wjs5773]

Sali-please interview the wonderful Eve Pollard-such a role model for the mouthy career woman (in a totally good way) when I was growing up-what an icon |!

[@sarahjes1]

I have laughed until I cried!!! Hands down the best one yet - can not wait for part 2 x x

[@Ottska]

Guided meditation says, "Close your eyes and picture yourself somewhere safe and happy"... imagines squeezing into the tub between Sali and Claudia.

[@gemmastone2202]

I just loved this so much. Major, massive, huge lady crush on Claud and I thought she really brought the best out of Sali too. Just adored it!

[@AJODcormac]

This is perfection! Looking forward to next installment😍

[@saltandiron3379]

I hope for another Claudia follow-up visit! Would love to see Claudia’s boot collection!

[@joshuacreel3000]

At this rate it'll be in the bathtub with :P Honestly, Sali you are one of the best interviewers in the world, I swear.

[@michellerjackson5776]

Great Channel Sally!!! 💕⚘💖🧡😍

[@Tatiana-os1il]

Okay I’m an ignorant American with no earthly idea of who this womyn is but I have fallen so deeply in love and making me wait a week for part 2 is cruel and wrong and I will not stand for it! Well, except for when I️ see you in a week to devour part two, haha😘

[@gillianlogue9976]

Tatiana Ros I agree! I hate waiting a week. I wish Part 1 came on a Saturday and Part 2 on a Sunday. Weekend sorted!

[@maureensimpson3028]

Tatiana Ros Not ignorant at all! She's a presenter in the UK so unless you live here of course you wouldn't know who she is. I think she's quirky and hilarious!

[@Tatiana-os1il]

Maureen Simpson haha I appreciate that. I know, I️ was just playing into the ignorant American trope for a sec. Yes, she’s hilarious and seems incredibly happy being herself. Already a big fan!

[@Tatiana-os1il]

Gillian Logue I don’t even want to wait a day. My patient is that of a newborns.

[@quiltygal6981]

Tatiana watch this video she is so good :) …..kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnrEpIGOrp5_rc0 She also hosted The Great British Sewing Bee

[@kathywood4955]

Loved it! Claudia you are bonkers, but so funny,cant wait for part 2

[@envybaker84]

This hugely improved my Monday morning. Thank you! Xx

[@ms_h_allen]

This is the best thing I've ever watched!!!!!!!!! Can't wait for part 17!!!

[@VeronicaKaneti]

Oh my goodness! Finally! Have waited years for this! Thank you ladies. xxx

[@katas6268]

I have to admit i have mot yet come across Claudia. Am not UK based and don't watch tv, maybe that's why but nevertheless it was one of the most enjoyable to watch 'in the bathroom' series 👏Funny, witty, beautiful!! Can't wait for part II :) 🙌🙌

[@cherylross4040]

This is the best conversation I have ever watched! I don't know who Claudia is, but dang sure going to look her up!

[@sylviamann7392]

The best of this chat was the no nonsense ‘this is me’ like it or not.love you both.❤️❤️

[@TheHanalangan]

This video of you two together... I think actually made my whole life. I am a long term fan of you both, but I think this video made me fall in love with Claudia even more. If that is even possible. Exceptional women.

[@dr-k1667]

The jokes in this are just the best of British humor.These ladies are fab!

[@kitty6720]

I have enjoyed this episode so much!! Look forward to the part 2!! I didn't know if Claudia Winkleman until this video (I"m not British, so I hope it justifies it :-) ), but I loved her! Thank you, Sali.

[@emmabeynon]

Honestly have never laughed so much at at In the bathroom - can’t wait for part 2!

[@joeade4970]

This is everything!! CANNOT WAIT for the next episode! Also, please can Claudia be my friend?

[@mnktfn]

So fun!! I must confess I didn't know her (I'm not from the UK), but she's amazing. There were so many things she said were I just thought "yess, exactly!". Until the part were she sleeps in her makeup. There she lost me, but anyone to their own. I like how the interviewees are all so real & honest not some edited Instagram BS :) Anyway, now I'm obsessed with a bathtub. AND I also need to go buy a mascara and Mac lipstick. Can't wait to see the second part. PS: Sali the dress is so great!

[@JOGBLiving]

simply one of my faves of your baths! Great together xx

[@asedition8847]

I really love this I wish more women round the world had the opportunity to speak in this way! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@lavoixdevelours]

Can’t wait for part 2! I love a product heavy bathroom.

[@anniewhitmore7627]

Absolutely fantastic interview Sali - Claudia is a great lady and fabulous fun. Favourite one x

[@stripey0206]

My gosh this was the best one!!! Bloody loved it xx

[@luckyladybird4445]

Love love love, one of the best yet!! Thank you !

[@sarahfairysugarstar]

God this is fantastic! Cannot wait for part 2! x

[@sarahmorgan14]

This is the 50th time I've watched this and its a Saturday night , I've been relegated to the kitchen so I'm watching it again with a glass of red while cooking dinner like I have friends with me!!! Sad but true, but really fabulous!!! X

[@evildoesnotsleep-x2b]

Claudia is the most interesting person on TV

[@lizacloverfield]

Pure pleasure to see and listen that two smart beautiful women! Waiting for Part 2

[@mariadias8152]

Sali, which eyelash primer are you talking about? I need it in my life. I went to the YSL counter and they said they just launched a new one (pink one). Is that the one? Or will they launch another one in 1 month (?)

[@jgoel3266]

I first saw Claudia on Graham Norton (I live in the States). I absolutely LOVE her and want her to be my friend.💖

[@vickynolanmusic]

My God, Claudia is brilliant!!! I Iove her so much! 😂😂 so refreshing

[@susanreynard1871]

Brilliant!!! I'm all in for 17 episodes! ❤❤❤

[@Elizabeth-zp2ir]

Fabulous interview, really fun. Envious of the bath, I have a Hong Kong "half bath" very shallow and half the length of a regular bath. Totally useless for anything except taking up valuable bathroom space. Can't wait for the next part of the interview.

[@balisandra94]

This is so incredibly enjoyable, thank you, ladies 💗

[@tanyadownes]

Ha-ha Claudia is so funny. Reminding me of Patsy Stone in a bloody good way 🤩

[@fairtwinbears3640]

Fanbloodytastic!! Can't wait for part 2 😄 (Sali your hair looks amazing btw)

[@harriet2291]

The best “in the bathroom...” yet! I’m now in love with Claudia, so funny and down to earth. Can’t wait for part 2!

[@DarrenPrice333]

Lily Allen. This one is shite

[@lisamunisteri304]

Love the in the bathroom series. I live in the USA and admit I did not know who she was (yes must have been living under a rock lol). I don’t get out much lol. So interesting.

[@FAZ11234]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I love Claudia. She would make the best friend!! X

[@joannecortese6535]

Wah!!! Can’t wait till next Saturday! Awesome job Sali!
