Many considered Claudia Winkleman as Norton's successor, but her chat show ended after just one series.

Winkleman steppd down from her chat show last week following its seven-episode run When Lisa Kudrow appeared on The Claudia Winkleman Show earlier this year, she was visibly delighted to meet Linda from The Traitors. The Friends actress, probably the most famous guest the programme had during its seven-week run, said it was "thrilling" to meet one of the reality show's breakout stars, who she revealed had even inspired one of her own recent performances. As host of The Traitors, Winkleman was ideally placed to introduce the pair, resulting the kind of wonderfully bizarre meeting of minds normally seen on The Graham Norton Show. But Winkleman's own chat show did not last long enough for any more unusual guest combinations on its teal sofa. The presenter quit last week after just one series, saying she was simply "too nervous to enjoy it". It had made sense for the BBC to commission The Claudia Winkleman Show, given the presenter's popularity on programmes such as Strictly. There's a different level of pressure, however, hosting a show with your own name above the door.
