The Traitors star reveals 'best part of experience' and it's nothing to do with game - Daily Star

A former The Traitors contestant has opened up about what it's truly like working alongside presenter Claudia Winkleman.

Claudia, 53, is presently fronting The Celebrity Traitors and has helmed The Traitors since it launched in 2022.

Previous participant Paul Gorton, who Claudia chose as a Traitor in series two but was unfortunately eliminated before the finale, has shared insider details about the popular BBC programme and his views on the current celebrity version.

Speaking exclusively on behalf of WhichBingo, Paul revealed his experience working with the legendary presenter, who also hosts Strictly: "It was the most remarkable experience of that experience.

"It is day one, you go in the Land Rovers, you're coming up to the castle, you're coming around the corner and there's just this Goddess that is stood in head to toe tweed", reports Wales Online.

"And you're looking at her and you're going, she's got quite piercing eyes and you know like obvious beauty, and you get chills!

"I've honestly got chills talking about it now. She's such an icon and she's so important to that show and then you're within kind of like touching distance, like she's talking to you.

"So yeah, that never drops. Like when you're at breakfast and she storms in. It is kind of like everyone just goes into silence because you know, the queen is about to talk.

"She is by far the only person suitable for that role. Alan Cumming [who hosts the US version of The Traitors] is also probably second to that. He's excellent.

"But I find it quite remarkable, just Claudia's character and personality because I genuinely think she isn't doing an act. I think this is just what she's actually like.

"So she has just as much kind of beauty and love as she does, you know, like telling you off for not finding Traitors.

"So yeah, it's one of the best parts of the experience is being able to know someone like Claudia. Although it still feels weird even saying it!"

The current line-up of Celebrity Traitors includes Jonathan Ross, Cat Burns and Alan Carr, who have so far managed to avoid detection.

Thus far, Ruth Codd, Tom Daley and Paloma Faith have been 'murdered' in the series, while Niko Omilana, Tameka Empson and Clare Balding were banished after being falsely accused of being Traitors, when they were in fact Faithfuls all along.
