Claudia Winkleman in talks to host ITV Hell’s Kitchen reboot

Claudia Winkleman could be set to front the UK revival of Hell’s Kitchen.

The 54-year-old presenter is reportedly in talks to front the ITV reboot, marking a possible return to the channel after more than a decade.

The move would see her return to ITV for the first time since 2009, when she hosted the show’s fourth series.

“It’s early days but Claudia is top of the producers’ hit list to present the show, a source told The Sun.

“They put out the feelers earlier this summer and she is keen to explore what it will look like.

“Claudia is one of the biggest stars in the UK now, so securing her won’t be as easy as in 2009.

“But everyone feels she is the right person for the job.

“The schedule isn’t set yet so bosses are willing to move things about to fit in with her diary.”

Gordon Ramsay, creator of the Hell’s Kitchen format, previously confirmed that talks are underway to bring the show back to UK screens.

The TV chef said: “I can tell you exclusively, I think we’re gonna come back to the UK with Hell’s Kitchen live next year.

“And it’s about time because everywhere I go across the UK it’s ‘Please bring it back.’

“So we’re talking now with ITV to bring it back.

“And fingers crossed, we’ll have something exciting to keep you updated on.”

The news comes after the TV star and her Strictly Come Dancing co-host, Tess Daly, announced their departure from the BBC show last year.

In a joint statement, the pair said: “We have loved working as a duo and hosting Strictly has been an absolute dream.

“We were always going to leave together and now feels like the right time.”

Ms Winkleman has become one of the UK’s most popular presenters, and also fronts the popular BBC series The Traitors, as well as its celebrity spin-off.
