THE BBC has shared a first look at Claudia Winkleman’s brand new chat show.
The star has landed her own late-night Friday programme after deciding to walk away from Strictly Come Dancing.

Claudia is arguably at the pinnacle of her career following mammoth success with The Traitors and has now bagged her own solo chat show to go with it.
In a brand new comedic trailer, Claudia can be seen creating a thick bright orange paint in a nod to her infamous fake tan.
She can then be seen coating her face in the thick orange paint as she revealed the show’s premiere date to be Friday the 13th.
Airing at 10:40pm, the show adopts the timeslot usually fronted by Graham Norton and his own self-titled show.
It is largely expected to follow the exact same formet.
Claudia’s show makes her the third person to currently front her own late night chat show alongside Graham and Jonathan Ross on ITV.
Her first celebrity guests have also now been revealed.
The star will be chatting with Hollywood giant Jeff Goldblum, actress Vanessa Williams, national treasure Jennifer Saunders and comedian Tom Allen.
Most episodes of The Claudia Winkleman Show will be made by the BBC just a few days before broadcast — but recording the first, to be aired on March 13, will take place on Monday.
It ensures the following weekend is left free for Claudia to do her other dream job, hosting the dog show, Crufts.
The presenter — often pictured with her cavalier King Charles spaniel, called Skip — will front it for Channel 4 with Clare Balding.
She was a contestant on Claudia’s Celebrity Traitors in November.
A TV insider said: “There’s huge anticipation for The Claudia Winkleman Show, though the BBC are keeping all the details under wraps until the last moment.
They’ve pulled out all the stops, including ensuring Claudia was able to juggle two huge roles in the same month.
“Then, when she wraps on Crufts and her show, The Traitors team move to Scotland at the end of April to start preparations for the new series.”
