Graham Norton has revealed who will replace him on his iconic talk show as he takes an extended break from TV to head to Australia for a live tour.
The legendary host, 61, is travelling Down Under in February to present An Evening With Graham Norton, which will see the Irish presenter discuss hilarious stories and shed light on some career highlights, before taking questions from the audience.
A replacement has now been drafted in for his absence, with the host himself revealing the big name on his own The Graham Norton Show on Friday night.
Amid the enormous popularity of BBC‘s The Traitors, Claudia Winkleman will be heading from the Scottish Highlands to the talk show studio to take the hot seat.
The presenter, 52, responded to Graham’s announcement on his show by saying: ‘I apologise in advance!’
She added: ‘I am always very nervous that people aren’t watching and then incredibly grateful that they are. I feel about Traitors like people feel about an offspring – you’re so glad when people love it.
