Produced by So Television – part of ITV Studios and the production company behind the hugely successful and multi award-winning The Graham Norton Show<\/a> – each episode will see Claudia, who is best known for co-presenting Strictly Come Dancing and hosting The Traitors<\/a>, welcome the biggest names from the worlds of film, television, music and beyond to her sofa for lively conversation with the help of a studio audience.<\/p>\n Claudia Winkleman says: \u201cI can\u2019t quite believe it and I\u2019m incredibly grateful to the BBC for this amazing opportunity. I’m obviously going to be awful, that goes without saying, but I\u2019m over the moon they\u2019re letting me try.\u201d<\/p>\n Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment Commissioning at the BBC, says: \u201cClaudia is a true national treasure – warm, witty and endlessly entertaining. She has an extraordinary ability to put people at ease and bring out the very best in them, whether they\u2019re global superstars or members of the audience. It\u2019s very exciting that she will be fronting her very own show on the BBC, and we can\u2019t wait for viewers to join Claudia and her sofa full of stars.”<\/p>\n Graham Stuart, Managing Director of So Television and Executive Producer, said: \u201cGraham Norton has made the Friday night talk show slot a dazzling appointment to view. How can you possibly follow that? By booking a host equally as brilliant. So we have.\u201d<\/p>\n Further details, including broadcast information and celebrity guests joining Claudia in the studio, will be announced in due course.<\/p>\n The Claudia Winkleman Show (7 x 50\u2019) is a So Television and Little Owl production for BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
