Busy: She co-hosts the BBC One dancing series with long-standing presenter Tess Daly
'But I love the Radio 2 listeners, what I love is that it's immediate. But will I be nervous for the next year? Yes I think it will take that long if I am not fired.
'If I am fired, I understand.'
Claudia told the podcast she'll cope with her hectic schedule by getting plenty of rest.

Claudia is on the air at Radio 2 on Saturday mornings from 10AM.
