BBC confirms The Traitors series two start date as host Claudia Winkleman teases 'watch your back'

It's only been just over a week since the hit dance competition wrapped up its 2023 series but there is still plenty of glitter and sparkles left for the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special.

Call the Midwife has been on viewers' screens since 2012, with the midwifery drama building up a plethora of loyal followers over the years.

Ahead of series two of The Traitors hitting our screens next month, host Claudia Winkleman has opened up about the new season and has revealed that she was left “shaking” during filming. Having hit our screens last year, the BBC One show proved to be a success among viewers at home and even won big at this year's Bafta Awards ceremony. Luckily fans of the show don’t have long to wait for a new instalment of the game show, with season two set to launch on Wednesday 3 January.

Claudia Winkleman has dug out her hooded cloak for series two of The Traitors – the BBC One reality show that became a runaway success in 2022. But after winning two Baftas and legions of fans, the Strictly Come Dancing star is worried the returning show won’t meet viewers’ high expectations. “I’m terrified people won’t like it as much as series one,” she says.

Man, it’s wild that “The Curse,” the new Showtime series from Emma Stone, Nathan Fielder, and Benny Safdie, got made. And or, maybe another way to say it is, if/when you package three immense talents and names like the aforementioned actor, writer/director, comedian, and filmmaker, you can really go for broke and push the envelope on the medium and what the audience can withstand and bear (more of this, please!)

Claudia Winkleman is known for her signature fringe and dark brunette locks, if that's when she's presenting Strictly Come Dancing or strutting her stuff down the red carpet. But the TV star, who also presents BBC's The Traitors, once donned a completely different look.The TV presenter, 51, has sported her mid-length dark locks for as long as we can remember, often styled in soft waves or completely straight. Her face is framed by her chunky bangs with dark eyeliner completing the striking look that she sports during her various TV gigs.

Angelique Jackson SPOILER ALERT: This story contains major spoilers for “Lawmen: Bass Reeves” all eight episodes of which are now streaming on Paramount+. When David Oyelowo first learned about the legend of Bass Reeves — who escaped enslavement to become one of the first Black U.S. Deputy Marshals west of the Mississippi — nearly a decade ago, the actor-producer set out on a mission to bring the story to the masses. Oyelowo’s goal was the same as the one he’d set when playing Martin Luther King Jr.

Strictly Come Dancing fans were quick off the mark on Saturday night (December 16) as the final got underway. After an incredible 13 weeks, we reached the end of the BBC One dance contest with Ellie Leach, Layton Williams and Bobby Brazier in the final alongside their professional dancers.

Another series of Strictly Come Dancing is nearly finished and it's safe to say this year's show has been filled with incredible performances and unforgettable contestants. Each year Strictly gets bigger and better, and the BBC One show continues to go all out for every themed week, most notably Musicals Week and Movie Week. Halloween is also a big occasion on the show - which runs from September until December - with contestants pulling out their best costumes and spookiest dances in a bid to impress judges Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke.

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu is making her return to TV, revealing that she will be appearing in the US version of popular TV series The Traitors. Unlike the UK edition of the show, the American version has opted for a line-up of celebs, with stars from both sides of the Atlantic taking part.

Netflix has confirmed exactly when Bridgerton will be back with its third season, as the streamer teased a new trailer on Tuesday (November 12). The regency romance drama, starring Derry Girls actress Nicola Coughlan as Penelope Featherington, returns with two parts next spring.

It’s pretty crazy to think, years after its absolutely massive debut, “Stranger Things” is still near the top of the TV cultural zeitgeist. This is a show, no matter how long it gets delayed and even if some seasons are worse than others, that just continues to dominate.

The two couples who will go 'head-to-head' in the Strictly Come Dancing final have been named - according to their body language. There are currently four celebrities and their professional dance partners left in the competition instead of the usual five.
