Claudia Winkleman reveals reason why she initially turned down presenting The Traitors
It is a show that has gone on to become a massive hit with competitors battling to win by betraying each other.
Winkleman, who also presents Strictly Come Dancing, told The Midpoint podcast: ‘The Traitors is something I initially turned down because I didn’t like leaving my bed or the kids and they were like “would you go to Scotland for three and a half weeks?”. ‘I sent an email to Kate Phillips who offered me the job, who works at the BBC, saying “I’ve booked a train, I want to do this more than anything” because it is a privilege to watch the psychology and gameplay up close.’ Season 2’s finale was watched by more than eight million people in the UK and Winkleman has lifted the lid on what it’s like to film the famous round-table scenes at the end of each episode.
