Claudia Winkleman reveals she’s had surgery
On Friday (June 21) Claudia took to her Instagram and told her fans she had undergone eye surgery.
In a photo, Claudia – who was wearing a hospital gown – posed next to a medical professional.
The TV legend looked rather different too, with Claudia opting to ditch her smokey eye makeup and fake tan.
In the caption, Claudia 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.”

Claudia’s ‘eyes have deteriorated so badly’
Claudia was born with myopia. This is an incurable eye condition which seriously affects her sight. The TV star was born with a -15 vision. In a bid to improve it, and her quality of life, Claudia has undergone several surgeries.
“I’ve always had terrible eyesight. Which is going back to the blurriness of the paintings I like and the blurriness of how I really like life to be,” she revealed on the How to Fail podcast.
