If you’ve been missing her since the latest season of The Traitors wrapped up, good news: Claudia Winkleman is officially back on our screens tonight!
Yes, the owner of the most famous fringe on television is stepping into the chat-show world – and she’s bringing a star-studded guest list with her.
The BBC star will be swapping the Round Table for the sofa (in Graham Norton’s place) for some chaotic celebrity chat, Claudia-style.
Here’s everything you need to know before tuning in.
When is The Claudia Winkleman Show on?
The Claudia Winkleman Show airs on Fridays at 10:40pm on BBC One – taking over Graham Norton’s usual slot.
Each episode runs for 50 minutes, meaning it finishes at 11:30pm.
But if you prefer to be tucked up in bed (or out on the town) at this time, it’ll be available on BBC iPlayer for streaming.
Who are the guests on the first episode of The Claudia Winkleman Show?
For her first show tonight, Friday 13 March, Claudia is joined by a star-studded lineup:
Jeff Goldblum, the Hollywood favourite from Jurassic Park and Wicked. He’ll be on the couch to talk about his band, The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra.
Actress Vanessa Williams, who is currently starring in the West End smash hit, The Devil Wears Prada.
Jennifer Saunders, the national treasure who’ll be discussing her new film, The Magic Faraway Tree.
And Comedian Tom Allen – he’s appearing to discuss his new book, Common Decency.
How long is The Claudia Winkleman show on for?
The Claudia Winkleman Show will be airing for the next seven weeks every Friday.
Claudia will be chatting to celebs in Graham Norton’s place for a limited stint while he takes a well-earned break.
In a sneak-peak clip, Claudia told fans: "Hello, they've given me a talkshow - agreed, an error. Here's some information, there is an audience, they're lovely, and brilliant guests. It might be excruciating."
The Graham Norton Show will return for a three-year deal, the BBC have confirmed.
But for the next seven weeks, Claudia will be gracing our screens.
We can’t wait to watch!
The Claudia Winkleman Show airs tonight on BBC One and iPlayer.
