Claudia Winkleman Confirms She’s Getting Her Own Celebrity Talk Show

As if we didn’t have enough reasons to be excited for 2026, Claudia Winkleman has now confirmed that she’s landed her own talk show, which will air next year.

Since then, it was reported by industry publication Deadline that she’d impressed bosses so much that Graham’s production company So Television was planning to give Claudia her very own show.

And on Monday night, this was confirmed to be the case, with a BBC press release teasing that viewers can look forward to Claudia welcoming “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”.

Self-deprecatingly as ever, Claudia enthused (sort of…): “I can’t quite believe it and I’m incredibly grateful to the BBC for this amazing opportunity.

“I’m obviously going to be awful, that goes without saying, but I’m over the moon they’re letting me try.”

Although a launch date for Claudia’s show is being kept under wraps for now, the BBC has said it will air in the spring, with the initial run lasting seven episodes.

While Claudia has now bid her final farewell to the Strictly dance floor, viewers will still be seeing plenty of her in 2026, starting on New Year’s Day, when the fourth season of The Traitors launches on BBC One – with Claudia already teasing that the game will be a little different this time around.
