relishes the idea of getting older and being in bed before 10pm – and she isn’t afraid of death.
However, there’s one thing she’s adamant about – her kids and grandkids won’t be getting access to certain private possessions. Talking on the topic of wills, the host exclaimed: “The kids can have everything – they can have it all!”
However, her mortifyingly embarrassing teenage diaries won’t be among the items she’s handing down. “[I’m hiding] the moronic diaries that I wrote when I was about 12 or 13 – I just don’t want [the kids] to realise how thick I am!” she joked.
Talking on Kathy Burke’s podcast – which grills celebrity guests on all things death and the afterlife – she explained that the way she lived her younger years would contradict everything she’d taught her children about theirs. “I’ve done quite a lot of: ‘Reading’s important, maths is vital, you’ve got to know what’s going on in the news’ – and if they read [my diaries] going, ‘Do you know what? I don’t think I do like purple anymore’… I don’t want them to read that,” she cringed.
“I had beans on toast again – exclamation mark, love heart” – [those diaries] would have to go!” Bizarrely, Claudia also revealed that she’d like to be reincarnated as one of her dog Skip’s grandchildren – and to be owned “by a woman like me” who’d look after her nutritional needs and serve up “poached salmon” in her bowl.

Meanwhile, she’s already decided what her last words would be before taking her final breath.
She’d tell her kids: “Tidy your room!”, after admitting on the podcast that uttering the phrase would make her “feel powerful and nice and old”.
Claudia chuckled that one of her kids – son Jake – is now 21 – but that his age wouldn’t prevent her imposing discipline.
She’s anticipating that he and younger kids Matlida, 18 and Arthur, 13, will one day have their own children, making her a grandmother – and she’ll dish out the same rules to them.

Claudia intends to “float around checking on [them]” but terrifying hauntings are a no.
She doesn’t want her children to impose themselves on her either, which she recently disclosed they have been doing in life.
The TV host issued a strict ban on the trio watching her on television – not that they are listening.
“Nobody watches anything I do in my house, under strict instructions, although, they broke rank and watched , and I was appalled,” she recently exclaimed in magazine.
