Claudia Winkleman discusses The Traitors with Zoe Ball

Claudia Winkleman has shared some huge show secrets behind the scenes of BBC's Traitors. The fan favourite show is set to return on January 1, 2025 with the star's iconic fringe at the helm.

It will see 22 strangers move into a castle in the Scottish Highlands to complete a series of challenges and missions together as a team to win a cash prize. However, three traitors will be lurking among the faithfuls, ready to backstab and betray their fellow team mates.

Claudia is lucky enough to have a say in the decision. Speaking to the press, she said: "I'm not a goddess and I don't choose them by myself."

She went on to explain the process of choosing the Traitors, saying: "We talk to all of them in that room and then we go into a room there's 5 of us, 6 of us.
