The Claudia Winkleman Show is a British talk show presented by Claudia Winkleman. It is broadcast on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Friday nights.
In February 2025, Winkleman attracted praise for her one-episode stint as guest host of The Graham Norton Show while Norton was on tour in Australia. Some viewers suggested that Winkleman could present her own chat show in the future.
On 29 December 2025, the BBC issued a press release announcing a new self-titled talk show hosted by Claudia Winkleman, named The Claudia Winkleman Show, had been commissioned with seven 50 minute-long episodes, in which Winkleman will interview television actors, movie actors, and musicians on a sofa for "lively conversation" in front of a studio audience. It will be produced by So Television, the company behind The Graham Norton Show, and Little Owl, with Graham Stuart and Ruth Phillips set to serve as the executive producers, and distributed internationally by ITV Studios.
On 25 February 2026, the airdate and timeslot for the first episode was officially announced as 10:40pm on Friday, 13 March 2026, with Hollywood actors Jeff Goldblum and Vanessa Williams, and comedians Jennifer Saunders, and Tom Allen all confirmed as the first line-up of guests.
Episodes will be filmed at Television Centre in White City from March until mid-April.
After the first show had aired, BBC News noted a mixed reception, with The Sun giving the show five stars, and Lucy Mangan of The Guardian giving it two stars and calling it a "mess". The audience participation was praised in a three-star review in Metro and criticised by Mangan. Norton defended Winkleman against accusations that her show was too similar to his.
