The new UK chat show fronted by The Traitors host and TV presenter Claudia Winkleman is officially coming down under, with Network 10 picking up the series for local audiences.
The latest acquisition brings another familiar chat show face to Australian screens, with the network already airing Graham Norton’s BBC series, this time in a format shaped around Winkleman’s offbeat style and preference for less structured, more spontaneous conversation.
Set to premiere Thursday nights in the post Gogglebox Australia 8.30pm slot, the series follows The Graham Norton Show, which recently wrapped its latest run, with Winkleman’s show stepping into the lineup.

The first episode features Jeff Goldblum, Jennifer Saunders, Vanessa Williams and Tom Allen, pictured above on the couch with Claudia Winkleman, kicking things off with a broad mix of established names.
Best known for her recent work as the host of The Traitors UK, which also airs on 10, Winkleman has built a strong local following, with her sharp and slightly offbeat presenting style resonating with audiences and carrying into this new format.
The new chat show debuted on the BBC in March, drawing mixed early reactions, with outlets including The Guardian offering a more critical take, even as others pointed to its wit and a different spin on the traditional chat show format.
First confirmed in December last year, the series is produced by So Television, the company behind The Graham Norton Show, alongside Winkleman’s Little Owl Productions, and is distributed internationally by ITV Studios.
Season one consists of seven x 1 hour episodes.
Catch the Australian premiere of The Claudia Winkleman Show Thursday, 16 April at 8.30pm on 10.
