After captivating audiences with her hosting on The Traitors, Claudia Winkleman's star power has only continued to rise. Her undeniable charm and witty commentary have been a major factor in the show's success, which peaked at over 10 million viewers in its third season. And now, fans of the 53-year-old Strictly star have even more reason to celebrate as her Channel 4 game show, One Question, is making a comeback after being put on pause.
For those unfamiliar with the show, One Question requires contestants to answer a single question correctly by eliminating 19 incorrect options. It's a simple concept, but one that has garnered positive reviews and enough viewership for Channel 4 to renew it for a second season in 2023. However, until recently, there had been no news of its return. But now, Claudia will be back in the hosting seat to quiz hopeful couples in February for an unexpected second season.
"I'm completely obsessed with this show and am so happy we get to do it again," Claudia shared when the show was first renewed. "No buzzers, no fancy lighting, no hoo haa. Just one question and I can give our brilliant players 100k. Plus, there's sitting down. I'm a big fan of sitting down." Her enthusiasm for the show is evident, and it's clear that she's excited to be back on screen for this unique quiz show.
Channel 4's Commissioning Editor, Tom Beck, expressed his excitement to have Claudia back as the host, while Head of Entertainment, Phil Harris, praised the show's growth from a "hilarious pilot in a dark Manchester studio" to a potential global success. The Managing Director and Executive Producer for Chalkboard TV, Mike Benson, also had high praise for Claudia, calling her the "perfect host" for this unconventional quiz show.
This isn't the only appearance we'll see from Claudia in February. She'll also be guest-hosting The Graham Norton Show on February 28 while the Irish comedian is on tour in Australia. "I apologize in advance," Claudia joked when Graham confirmed the news on a recent episode. And of course, fans can also look forward to a fourth season of The Traitors, which has already been confirmed.
When asked about the unexpected success of The Traitors, Claudia shared that she and the team "didn't foresee this." She believes that the show's appeal lies in its unique psychology and addictive dynamics, as viewers try to figure out who's lying and who's telling the truth. With the promise of a Celebrity Traitors UK edition in the works, there's definitely more excitement to come.
But for now, fans can mark their calendars for the return of One Question on Friday, February 14 at 8pm on Channel 4. And if you have a celebrity story to share, be sure to get in touch with The Agency entertainment team. They'd love to hear from you.
