- Presenter: So, Claudia... You've just recently signed up as the new face of the Accessorize advertising campaign, and I've heard that there was a bit of an unusual clause in your contract - Is that true?
- Claudia Schiffer: Yes, I have. I'll be fronting this year's Autumn/Winter campaign. And it wasn't so much a clause as a request that I do something I'd not done before.
- Presenter: So what was it they wanted you to do?
- Claudia Schiffer: They asked me if I'd have my ears pierced, so I could wear some of the new season's earrings at the photoshoot in a few weeks time.
- Presenter: Now I find that quite amazing, because I'd always thought that, as a model, you'd have had your ears pierced a long time ago. So have you had them done yet?
- Claudia Schiffer: Yes, I have - I had them pierced a couple of weeks ago.

- Claudia Schiffer: And this is actually the first interview I've done since getting them done.
- Presenter: So you've only just really had them pierced - Does it feel strange having them done after all this time?
- Claudia Schiffer: Definitely!
- [Camera cuts to close-up headshot of Claudia as she reaches up with her right hand and feels the earring in her right ear]
- Claudia Schiffer: I'm starting to get used to it now, but it does still feel odd when I touch my ears and feel how the studs go right through my lobes, or when I look in the mirror and see them there. But I am getting used to it as the days go by, and I kind of like how they look.
- Presenter: Yes, I remember how it was when I first had mine done when I was fourteen, with the whole routine of cleaning them and turning the studs every day. So do you think you'll be keeping them pierced after you've done the photoshoot?
- Claudia Schiffer: I'm not sure, but I think I probably will...
