Fans of Strictly Come Dancing and The Traitors were given some exciting news last month when it was announced that Claudia Winkleman would be guest hosting one episode of Graham Norton’s BBC talk show.
And with just over a week to go until the Bafta winner takes on her presenting gig, the full line-up of stars she’ll be interviewing has been unveiled.
It’s now been confirmed that Claudia will be joined on the sofa by Marvel star Chris Pratt, Derry Girls actor Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Mr Burton star Toby Jones and comedian Rob Beckett.
It has also been revealed that British singer-songwriter and rising star Rachel Chinouriri will be serving as the episode’s musical guest ahead of this year’s Brit Awards, where she’s in the running in two categories.
Claudia’s special episode of The Graham Norton Show will air on Friday 28 February at 10.40pm on BBC One, while Graham is on tour in Australia.
Graham has previously only handed the reins of his show over to one other presenter, with comedian Jack Whitehall guest hosting an episode back in 2019.
At the time, Graham was unable to host because of Eurovision Song Contest commitments.
The news of Claudia’s guest spot was confirmed during her own appearance on Graham Norton in January, where she quipped that she was “apologising in advance” for her stint.
Graham and Claudia’s paths actually first crossed years earlier, when they co-presented the short-lived Eurovision Dance Contest in 2007 and 2008.
While Claudia is now primarily known for her work on entertainment shows like Strictly, The Piano and, of course, The Traitors, she’s no stranger to a celebrity interview, either.
Early on in her career, Claudia interviewed stars on the likes of This Morning and Liquid News, and was also the host of the BBC’s flagship Film series between 2010 and 2016.
Update: An earlier version of this story listed Shaboozey as the episode’s musical guest. This has since been updated to Rachel Chinouriri. Toby Jones has also been added to the line-up of guests.
