BBC bosses 'are fast-tracking Claudia Winkleman's new celebrity talk show' after quitting Strictly Come Dancing liennhi
The BBC are reportedly fast-tracking Claudia Winkleman's new chat show to start following her final Strictly Come Dancing show and before the next series of The Traitors starts.
The presenter, 53, has impressed BBC bosses following having huge success hosting The Celebrity Traitors and has cleared her diary by not returning to host
The new show will see Claudia interview a number of A-list stars and will air on Friday nights starting as early as March next year.
The BBC have yet to decide on a working title but are hoping the talk show will air for at least two months.
A TV insider told The Sun: 'If ever proof were needed that Claudia is now very much the BBC's golden girl following the huge success of The Celebrity Traitors, then this is it.
'Given that Strictly started in September, it means that by the time her new chat show concludes she will have been on our screens almost constantly for eight months.

The presenter, 53, impressed BBC bosses following having huge success hosting The Celebrity Traitors and has cleared her diary by not returning to host Channel 4's One Question
'And they're some of the biggest TV successes the BBC has ever seen — with the chat show expected to enjoy equally huge ratings when it debuts.
'Work is hugely picking up pace, although the Beeb have yet to fully form the plan and announce it, though they're expected to reveal more details next month.'
The source added: 'When word of her chat show first came out, most people thought it would be months, perhaps a year at least, before it got off the ground.
'Nobody expected it to be on our screens in a time frame measured in weeks. But execs want to ride the wave of her popularity and secure the next chapter of her career on the BBC.'
Claudia will host the Celebrity Traitors final on Thursday before concluding her final Strictly Come Dancing in December after hosting the show with Tess Daly for 11 years.
Despite not returning to host One Question, which has run for two series on Channel 4, she is set to return to host a fourth season of Channel 4 show, The Piano.
Claudia already has a busy year ahead as she will then go straight on to filming the fifth series of The Traitors at Ardross Castle around May.
If the BBC commission a second series of The Celebrity Traitors they are likely to film it in the spring — directly after the non-celebrity version.

‘I don’t even know why it’s happening…’: Katie Price shows off her tiny waist and tattooed stomach after revealing her mystery weight loss — as the 46-year-old undergoes full-body ‘ultimate reset’ treatment amid growing concern from fans and family… - suong
KATIE Price has showcased her very slender waist and tattooed stomach after she confessed she “doesn’t know” the reason for her weight loss.
The former glamour model, 46, revealed her “snatched and defined” look as she headed for a beauty treatment in Greater Manchester.
It came after the mum of five concerned fans when she was rushed to hospital – claiming medics are baffled by her slimmed-down frame.
Now Katie, who sought further medical advice for her weight just last month, has undergone an “ultimate reset” with full-body lymphatic drainage treatment.
A series of images posted to Drain and Define’s Instagram page showed her lying on her back, with her bare tummy and array of body artwork exposed.
Her tanned, slender waist could clearly be seen as she stayed snug under two beige towels.
In their caption, the Bury-based business wrote: “Full body lymphatic drainage meets sculpting wood therapy.
“The ultimate reset for @katieprice — her stomach looked snatched and defined, and the post-treatment zen was unreal.
“Pure transformation inside and out.”
Lymphatic drainage has been dubbed the “celeb weight loss massage” with the likes of Hailey Bieber, Dua Lipa and Kylie Jenner all self-confessed fans.
It was initially designed to relieve inflammation related to lymphoedema – a condition that causes swelling in the body’s tissues, sometimes as a result of cancer treatment, infection, injury or long periods of immobility.
But in 2025, lymphatic drainage is now touted as a way to reduce stress, appear slimmer and get glowing skin.
It is a non invasive treatment and a lot like a gentle therapeutic massage, used to alleviate digestive issues, hormonal imbalance, and reduce cellulite.
HEALTH CONCERNS
Just last month, Katie uploaded a selfie to social media with a concerning caption.
She wrote: “First day off and straight to the doctors to find out what’s happened to my weight.”
She also shared another snap of herself in a pink hoodie and said: “Doctors for bloods to see why I’m losing weight.”
This comes after she revealed she was in hospital last month after drastically shedding the pounds over the past 12 months.
The Celebrity Big Brother winner told her fans on Snapchat at the time: “I’ve been up early at the doctors so she could do some bloods and because my veins are so s*** they had three attempts.
“They could only fill two tubes up, so I’ve got to go back in two weeks.
“And I’ve got to have my stitches out then because they looked at my little stab wound that I did.”
Her frail frame has been a cause of concern for her fans over the last few months, with many of her loyal followers taking to the comments section of her pictures to share their worries.
FAMILY CLAP BACK
Her fans aren’t the only ones who have shared their concerns as the former glamour model’s family have also said their piece.
In August, while filming the first episode of her new podcast, The Katie Price show, she was joined by her sister Sophie.
As the podcast was wrapping up, the sister duo were joined by Sophie’s dad and Katie stepdad Paul as talk soon turned to Katie’s weight loss.
On the episode, Katie, who recently showed off her newest surgery, asked her dad: “What are you looking at?” to which he replied: “Look how thin them legs are, terrible they are, my hand can go round them.”
She replied: “They’re obsessed with my weight,” as Sophie chimed in: “You are thin.”
Katie was heard insisting: “I am happy,” as her dad retorted: “No it’s not right, it’s probably that vaping crap.”
