Claudia Winkleman Previews Celebrity Traitors as Oct. 8 Premiere Nears

The host says adopting a stern on-screen persona was her biggest challenge.

Overview

  • The BBC schedules a Wednesday 8 October 9pm launch on BBC One and iPlayer, with two episodes weekly on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
  • Nineteen well-known contestants compete for up to £100,000 for their chosen charities under the Traitors-versus-Faithfuls deception format.
  • The cast features Stephen Fry, Tom Daley, Charlotte Church, Alan Carr, Paloma Faith, Jonathan Ross, Kate Garraway and others.
  • Filming took place in the Scottish Highlands, where Winkleman said she was in awe seeing the celebrity line-up together.
  • Winkleman says staying “strict” and aloof was her toughest task, teases an “absolutely nuts” taffeta-heavy wardrobe, and notes producers discourage her from dropping clues.
