Claudia Winkleman reveals why she agreed to Traitors role after turning it down
The TV star has hosted two series of the game show which sees members of the public try to identify the ‘traitors’ among them.
Claudia Winkleman has revealed she originally turned down hosting The Traitors but was changed her mind after watching the Dutch version of the hit reality show.
The TV star has fronted two series of BBC One’s edition of the tense game show which sees members of the public attempt to identify who among them are “faithfuls” and “traitors” since it launched at the end of 2022.
Appearing on the Dish podcast, Winkleman told presenters Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett that she nearly missed out on being a part of the show.
She said she was asked to host three or four years ago but declined the offer because of her “innate laziness”, adding: “I was like, ‘I’m really sorry I can’t go to Scotland for three and a half weeks, but thank you so much for thinking of me.
