Get a glimpse into Claudia Winkleman's personal life, including a family member who married into the royal family.

Claudia Winkleman, the beloved host of Strictly Come Dancing, has always captured our hearts with her unique charm and wit. But there's so much more to her than just her on-screen persona. From her role as the host of The Traitors on BBC to her fascinating family background, Claudia's life off camera is just as intriguing as the drama she presents on TV.

One of her most notable achievements was when she took on the role of hosting the UK version of The Traitors. Fans of the show couldn't get enough of her stylish outfits, from her cozy knitwear to her chic red gloves. But it's not just her fashion choices that have caught the attention of viewers. Claudia has a natural talent for creating tension between the two rival groups on the show, the Faithfuls and the Traitors.

But behind the scenes, Claudia's own life is just as captivating as the goings-on in the Traitors castle. Did you know that she is actually related to royalty through one of her relatives? It's true! Her sister Sophie, who is also known as Lady Frederick Windsor, is married to a member of the Royal Family.

Sophie, who is best known for her role as Big Suze in Peep Show, married Lord Frederick Windsor in 2009. This makes Claudia technically related to royalty through her half-sister, as their father Barry Winkleman married children's author Cindy Black after divorcing Claudia's mother when she was a child.

Many were surprised to see Sophie at the late Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral in 2022, not realizing her connection to the Royal Family. But Sophie has continued to pursue her acting career, most recently appearing in Timothée Chalamet's film Wonka as the Countess.

But what about Claudia's own personal life? Is she married and does she have children? The answer is yes! Claudia has been married to film producer Kris Thykier since 2000, and they have three children together - Jake, Matilda, and Arthur. When asked what made her fall for her husband, Claudia revealed that it was his kind and considerate nature that won her over.

She also shared that their relationship is based on mutual respect and taking care of one another. They don't have any set rules for who does what in their household, but they always make an effort to be kind and supportive to each other.

Now, as Claudia continues to dazzle us on Strictly Come Dancing and The Traitors, we can't help but admire her off-screen life as well. Her talent, charm, and fascinating family background make her a true icon of British TV. Tune in to The Traitors, airing Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, to see Claudia in action. This article was first published on January 17, 2024.
