Privacy NoticeClaudia Winkleman revealed that she refuses to have sex with her husband, Kris Thykier, for one reason. The 52 year old Strictly Come Dancing host admitted she can’t get intimate with Kris, who she has been married two for more than 20 years, if he has recently consumed any water. Claudia made the bizarre revelation when she appeared on the Off Menu podcast with hosts Ed Gamble and James Acaster, back in 2020, admitting it was a phobia of hers. “I don’t like or believe in water, I won’t have it,” she explained. “If you’re walking towards my table and there’s a water glass it’s a solid no. I’ve never knowingly had water – I don’t like it. I won’t have it around.”

Going into more detail about her phobia, Claudia explained that it can cause her to not want to be intimate with her husband, saying: “My husband drinks great amounts of water and I really like him but it’s problematic. He’s glugging. Don’t touch me. ‘Claud, take your bra off.’ I don’t think so – you should be ashamed of yourself.” The mum-of-three said: “Imagine you’re on a date – I’ve been with the same man for 100 years. He’s sitting there and he’s like: ‘I don’t know what to have, what are you going to have? Maybe we should have the same thing.’ And someone comes round and says: ‘Would you like some water? And he goes: ‘Yeah, sure.’ “And they give him a pint glass of water and he drinks the whole thing. Are you going to want to kiss this many anymore? No. A wet mouth with a big fleshy tongue that is covered in liquid.” Sign up to OK!’s daily newsletter to get updates sent to your inbox for free

Claudia proceeded to admit that it’s not just water she isn’t a fan of, but all liquids in general. “I want a dry shrivelled up little man, I want to sleep with Mr Burns, he doesn’t drink water, I want him at the table,” she said. “I just don’t like liquid, I don’t like wine, there’s all kinds of stuff. Is this too weird?” Claudia has been married to film producer Kris for the last 24 years, having got married in 2000 and the couple are parents to children Jake, Matilda and Arthur. The TV personality is currently hosting the 20th anniversary series of Strictly Come Dancing, the jewel in the BBC’s crown, alongside her good friend, 55 year old Tess Daly.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
