Claudia Peifer is the owner and ‘Girl About Town’ for the burgeoning online channel

TA-DAH.TV that provides cutting edge reportage and interviews throughout the Costa Del Sol and Europe on everything from fashion to festivals to cars and sport. TA-DAH.TV and Claudia are there to keep you entertained and informed.

Who are the biggest celebs you have interviewed?

Singers, by sheer number crunching: Nile Rodgers, Michael Bolton, Kid Creole and Tony Hadley as they’ve all been around for a few years. DJ’s: Sven Väth, Seth Troxler, The Martinez Bros, Carl Cox, Jackmaster & Eats Everything were super fun too. Loved chatting to Eva Longoria, Thom Evans, Ewan McGregor and Vogue Williams, but my weakness really are chance encounters, like bumping into Roger Moore outside the BBC more than once (what a charmer), Paul McCartney at Soho House or having this taxi stop right in front of me with Roland Gift, the gorgeous lead singer of the Fine Young Cannibals, wind down the window, giving me a cheeky grin and a ‘Hello Darlin’! It’s also rather lovely, when Sergio Garcia or Álvaro Quirós come over for a kiss’n a hug. At the opposite end of the scale, Chris Robson, the rugby beefcake who is playing for England at the NatWest 6 Nations actually ran away from me, when he saw me with a mic in hand – he does not like being interviewed, so I know the secret weapon to beat him any day of the week!

Have you had any funny faux pas happen to you whilst filming?

Well, I’m pleased to say that I managed to avoid doing a ‘Naomi’ on a few of occasions, when doing the catwalk shows for Vivienne Westwood, but I’m not a control freak for nothing: when it comes to own productions, I don’t like to leave anything to chance! However, no shoot ever runs smoothly, so I once found myself standing in the Indian Ocean in Sri Lanka, when a slightly larger wave swept over me from behind, the crew saw it coming and said nothing – thanks guys! The wet t-shirt moment I was OK with, but when it got hold of my bikini bottoms without me realising?? Yep, the joke was on me then…

How do you cope with all the travelling you do?

Sleep, whenever I can. A rigorous skin care regime and a range of great beauty products to help my skin survive. I love yogilates, power-walking (either in the city or the Andalusian Hills – keeps the legs strong and the bum in shape) and doing 1000m in the hotel pool against the timer. I meditate to keep me grounded and to maintain my inner balance wherever I am – super important when travelling!

What would you say is your greatest achievement?

Modelling/TV appearances over 15 years, my own fashion label for 9 years and then back into TV in Spain and now with TA-DAH.TV… and I’m still standing – yeah!

What is your best character trait?

Being spontaneous and ready to have fun and a laugh any time, whilst working hard!

Worst habit?

Very little to zero patience! I want things done now and 110% perfect, and of course, that’s not how the cookie crumbles. Gawd, that’s something I have to work on every day…:-/…not good, I know!!!

Most embarrassing item in your wardrobe?

Oh noooo: a 50’s golden lurex bodice I bought at Camden Market years ago – too cheesy for words!

What are you reading now?

I’ve got 2 books on the go at the mo, one classic: Charlotte Brontë’s ‘Jane Eyre’ and ‘Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls’ by Elena Favilli & Francesca Cavallo – both utterly brilliant reads.

What all our male readers want to know – are you single?

Very sorry, boys: yep, am currently off the radar!

What do you look for in a guy?

Fun (I need to be able to laugh with my man), originality, intelligence, substance, and I need a man to be a man! Oh yes, and endless patience…so, not that much really!

What couldn’t you live without?

Laughter, excitement and living life full on.

If someone asked to be your apprentice and learn all that you know, what would you teach them?

An open mind, that a smile goes a long way and that language is power.

What do you do to relax?

Sleep or hit the gym, even at 2am, spa time, but a snuggle in front of a fire with a good book or film also goes a loooong way. I love a romantic dinner too or being whisked away for a naughty weekend, diary permitting.

Best thing about living in Marbella?

The amount of glorious sunshine & daylight, international aspect of the place and the glorious Mediterranean food.

Worst thing?

Need a plumber, electrician or handyman? Everything takes about 4-times as long to organise as anywhere else I know!
