Claudia Winkleman for The Traitors UK S4 / BBC
Claudia Winkleman’s new chatshow will launch on BBC One next month, it has been confirmed.
The new show comes from the makers of The Graham Norton Show and is expected to follow a similar format, with celebrity guests joining her on the sofa in front of a live studio audience.
“I can’t quite believe it and I’m incredibly grateful to the BBC for this amazing opportunity,” The Traitors host said. “I’m obviously going to be awful, that goes without saying, but I’m over the moon they’re letting me try.”
Called The Claudia Winkleman Show, the series will premiere on Friday, March 13 at 10.40pm and run for seven weeks.
Guests on the first episode include acting legend Jeff Goldblum, actress and singer Vanessa Williams, Absolutely Fabulous icon Jennifer Saunders and comedian Josh Widdicombe.
