Is Claudia Winkleman returning as host?

It’s safe to say, that The Traitors UK would not be the same in the slightest without the powerhouse that is Claudia Winkleman.

We’re expecting drama, enormous oversized knitwear, leather-look gloves, and brilliantly biting words from the TV legend when she returns to the Scottish castle where the show is filmed.
