2014 Halloween incident caused Matilda Winkleman's severe burns; Claudia Winkleman advocates for safer children's costumes.
Claudia Winkleman, co-host of Strictly Come Dancing, has refrained from wearing Halloween costumes since 2014 following a traumatic incident where her daughter Matilda suffered severe burns when her costume caught fire from a candle. This event led Claudia to take a break from the show to support her family. She has since campaigned for safer children's costumes, resulting in new voluntary guidelines that limit fabric burn rates to 10mm per second.
