'I was scared': Claudia Winkleman admits her biggest fear about new Celebrity Traitors UK

Claudia Winkleman reveals her biggest fear was ruining the original show's magic as Celebrity Traitors UK follows The Traitors' success with over 10 million viewers per episode.

  • Ahead of the October 8 debut, Claudia Winkleman, host of Celebrity Traitors, said she feared the celebrity series would `ruin the magic of the original` and found hosting scarier as she had to be `extremely unlikable`.
  • Following the runaway success of The Traitors, original series, which averaged more than 10 million viewers per episode, demand grew for a celebrity edition from the Dutch format and international summit of Traitors producers earlier this year.
  • The cast includes Celia Imrie, Joe Marler, and David Olusoga, with filming at Ardross Castle, north of Inverness, taking place over more than 30 days.
  • On October 8 at 9pm on BBC One, the Celebrity Traitors premieres, and executive producers Mike Cotton and Sarah Fay say the first episode `gets off to a strong start`.
  • On set the game's psychological intensity showed when players shoved their shoulders at Claudia Winkleman, while leading psychology lecturers note the lack of clear behavioural 'tells'.
