She's instantly recognisable by her trademark blunt fringe and thick black eyeliner.

And Claudia Winkleman has revealed that she'll never change her style, despite admitting that many people find her look 'repellent'.

After rocking the look for over a decade, the 44-year-old claimed she is now stuck in her ways, and is still a fan of her signature appearance.

If it aint broke! Claudia Winkleman has revealed that she'll never change her style, despite admitting that many people find her look 'repellent'

She told The Sun: 'I have a huge fringe and I wear enough eyeliner to kill a clown. I mean, a lot of people find it repellent, but I’m too old to start changing.'

Claudia also has no plans to attempt to reverse the aging process, as she admitted a bad experience with Botox has left her wanting to grow old gracefully.

She confessed: 'I try and be honest about it. I tried it, didn’t like it. I looked alarmed, and if there’s anything that I am it’s not alarmed.'

Oops: She's instantly recognisable by her trademark blunt fringe and thick black eyeliner, and whilst she doesn't always get it right, the star revealed she loves her signature style

The strive for glamour that is so apparent in celebrity culture has bypassed Claudia also, as she admitted to regularly going out make-up free and dressed down.

The upside to this, however, is that she believes her down to earth attitude has gained her some loyal fans.

'I’m not saying I’m liked,' she said, 'but if anybody does like me I think it’s because I’m slowly crumbling in front of their lives.'

Oh dear: Whilst Claudia is famed for her signature look - three years ago, the star was left red-faced when her eyeliner smudged down her face at the GQ Awards, but she laughed it off

Chic and cheerful: Claudia also has no plans to attempt to reverse the aging process, as she admitted she had tried Botox but wasn't a fan

Whilst Claudia is famed for her signature look - and even bagged herself a beauty deal with Marks and Spencer because of it - she admits she hasn't quite nailed the art of self application.

Three years ago, the star was left red-faced when her eyeliner smudged down her face at the GQ Awards, but she laughed off the incident.

Revealing that her make-up artist often despairs of her application technique, Claudia told The Mirror: 'If it’s gone wrong it’s only because I’ve done it myself. I’ve lost my poor make-up artist shedloads of work.

'So I would like to officially say, when I turned up to the GQ Awards with eyeliner halfway down my face, that was NOT her.'
