Claudia Winkleman Show: Teaser revealed for The Traitors host’s new chat show - when does it start?
A teaser has been released for new BBC chat show the Claudia Winkleman Show.
Claudia Winkleman has proved she’s not afraid to make fun of herself with the trailer for her new BBC chat show focussing on her unique skin tone. The Claudia Winkleman Show arrives on screens next month.
In the 32-second clip, the host of The Traitors, with her trademark long dark fringe, heavily lined eyes and tanned face – stirs what appears to be a large vat of bright orange paint with a paintbrush.
She looks straight at the camera and says “Yeah”, followed by a pause, then adds: “It’s just still not orange enough.” Winkleman continues: “Hi, it’s Claude here. I have a new show. I am really getting prepared.
“They want me to tell you it starts on Friday the 13th. Well, I’ve had a good run.” She then smears a large stripe of orange paint on her cheek with the paintbrush, and adds: “Oh yeah. I’m ready.”
The trailer also reveals the 54-year-old’s first guests will be Hollywood actor Jeff Goldblum, actresses Vanessa Williams and Jennifer Saunders and comedian Tom Allen. Her new programme, which will be filmed in front of a live studio audience, will see Winkleman interview big names each week.
Winkleman, who recently stepped down from presenting Strictly Come Dancing after 15 years, received an MBE in the 2025 Birthday Honours for services to broadcasting.
:: The Claudia Winkleman Show begins on Friday, March 13 at 10.40pm on BBC One and iPlayer
