Following her huge success on The Traitors, Claudia Winkleman started her own chat show, The Claudia Winkleman Show, but it’s future is uncertain after it received a cool reception

Claudia Winkleman‘s new chat show is facing an uncertain future amid low viewing figures and little reaction from social media. The show has only aired three episodes, but a source has said the highly anticipated series has not reached the heights the BBC may have hoped, causing a stir behind the scenes.

The Claudia Winkleman Show began on 13 March, where the star was joined by Jeff Goldblum, Vanessa Williams, Jennifer Saunders and Tom Allen. The show follows Claudia’s huge success as the host of The Traitors, which catapulted her into being one of the most sought-after presenters in the UK. It also comes after she and Tess Daly decided to step down as the hosts of Strictly Come Dancing after over 20 years at the show.

Talking to the Daily Mail, a source explained how The Claudia Winkleman Show failed to rank among the most watched programmes on the BBC and has had little reaction on social media, making the chances of a second series slimmer.

“You’d think it would be guaranteed for a second series at the end of this run,” the source said. “It probably will get one, but the chatter is that it may not be such a certain prospect.”

They added that everyone at the BBC was “excited” about the show but that while usually “everything she touches turns to gold” but this time, “it simply isn’t the case here”. They pointed out that Claudia was “the star” of both The Traitors and Strictly, making the cold reaction to her new show would be “new territory” for her.

The Claudia Winkleman Show is currently midway through its initial run and is due to run for six weeks. It airs in the same slot that The Graham Norton Show, which is created by the same company as Claudia’s chat show, ordinarily occupies.

The source told the Daily Mail that one of the reasons Claudia’s show has not matched the heights of Graham’s may be because of the guests she’s had on. While Graham’s red sofa has attracted the likes of Taylor Swift, Tom Cruise, Madonna and Paul McCartney, Claudia’s show has so far featured less well-known faces, such as Niall Horan, Rachel Zegler and Guz Khan.

Next week, Claudia will be joined by James McAvoy, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Rita Wilson and Russell Howard. Actor James has appeared on The Graham Norton Show multiple times, and Gugu was on the show a year ago. Russell Howard has been on the show as well, but Rita Wilson has not.

The BBC and Claudia Winkleman’s representatives were contacted for comment.

Katie Price appeared on Good Morning Britain on Monday, where she said no topic was ‘off limit’ during the bombshell interview

Katie Price appeared on Good Morning Britain on Monday to set the record straight on several details in her life, insisting no topic was ‘off limit’.

Katie, 47, recently left her family reeling when she announced she’d got hitched for the fourth time to businessman Lee Andrews, 43, who she had only known for a week. Her shocked mum and sister only found out after she announced the news on social media.

Since the reveal of her new relationship and marriage, the couple have been forced to hit back at a series of claims. Only recently, Katie spoke out to defend her husband Lee, hitting back at claims he’s a conman and insisting she has seen proof of his wealth.

Appearing on Monday’s Good Morning Britain, Katie encouraged hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls to grill her, insisting that no topic was ‘off limit’.

Real marriage date and Lee Andrews relationship

Katie said: “I’m doing really good. Really good. Really happy. I’m so excited to be here today for you to ask me anything you want”, adding: “The reason I say that is because there’s been so much speculation in the media, online, and no one can really hear my voice. So I’m glad I’ve got you guys. As you know, you can ask me anything.”

Talking about marrying Lee so quickly, she said: “Now, do you ever really know anyone? If you look at my past marriages, did I ever know they would be what they would be? And sometimes, I don’t think you can ever know who anyone is.”

She added: “So for me, I’ve gone through so much, as everyone knows, so much, so many different relationships. And I normally went from one to the other, to the other. And I recently, well, two years ago, I did relationships, healthy relationships”, adding that before then, she had always been in “toxic” relationships.

Katie continued: “But now, like two years ago, I now know signs of red flags. And you know, all of this, I’ve been there, done it. Now, I am older, I can make my own decisions. And there’s nothing to say that you have to wait for anything. So I’ve met Lee. It’s hard for anyone to understand.”

It was at this point that Katie revealed when she first met Lee, which was January, and when they got married, saying: “We got married two weeks ago. Although it looked like we did the ceremony in January, we did get engaged then.”

Meanwhile, over the weekend, Lee denied a claim that he sent a voice note begging for cash, days after Katie claimed she’s seen proof he’s a millionaire.

Lee has been accused of sending desperate voice notes of him begging for cash and complaining about surviving on 20 ready meals days before his lavish proposal to Katie in January and whirwild wedding. It has been claimed that in one voice note, Lee claims he’s “desperate” and “trying to survive”.

Lee has denied the claims in an Instagram post, simply commenting on a post making the claims: “This is not me”.

Meanwhile, Lee also took to his Instagram story to double down on claims that fake voice notes featuring his voice are circulating. He shared a screenshot of three Instagram accounts pretending to be him and wrote on top: “Warning Ignore the fake accounts and fake voice notes”.
