The Traitors host was joined by stars Jeff Goldblum, Vanessa Williams, Jennifer Saunders and Tom Allen on the green sofa for the inaugural episode of The Claudia Winkleman Show. Chat shows are difficult to get right, so there was a lot of build-up as fans waited to see how Winkleman's primetime take on the format would be received. It's the latest step in the 54-year-old presenter's rise through television, which has continued even after she stepped down from Strictly Come Dancing. The Telegraph's Anita Singh reflected on Winkleman's popularity in her review, saying her new show "arrives on a wave of goodwill" with the host approaching "national treasure status". In the end, we heard from a number of people in the crowd, including a man from Wolverhampton who recommended his city's Nando's, and a woman who designs pencils. Throughout the show, Winkleman is characteristically self-deprecating, thanking her guests "for coming on the first and possibly last show".
