Claudia Winkleman hosts the new BBC game show The Traitors, which is based on a Dutch show, but she originally said no when first asked.
"They said, 'Why don't you just watch the Dutch version and then decide?' so I watched the Dutch version and I mean, nobody got fed. I didn't brush my teeth. I was so obsessed that then I had to phone Kate and I said, 'I've booked a train, I'm going to Scotland now.' She was like, 'Filming doesn't start for months,'" Winkleman said.
"So it's a privilege, I am so lucky. I got so deep like never before. I would phone my husband – I think he was my husband, I didn't even care. He was like, 'I think French went well,' and I was like, 'You're not gonna believe what [contestant] Will has done.'"Best Entertainment and Tech Deals
