Claudia Winkleman calls out the 'sexist' Traitors with seven word statement

Claudia Winkleman was inundated with messages as she shared a very clever 'next year' message with her fans and followers following the final of The Traitors. The end of the BBC One show provided a spectacular 70 minutes of television as the traitors and faithfuls battled it out to the end.

Season two of The Traitors has officially come to a close, and what a dramatic and eventful series it has been. Following the grand finale last night, viewers watched Army Engineer Harry Clark take home the £95,000 cash prize as he was revealed to be a Traitor.

It's the series on everyone's lips at the moment - The Traitors' has been dominating the second halves of our weeks recently. After a month-long run, all the backstabbing and deceiving comes to an end tonight (Friday January 26).

Tonight is finally the night we get to see whether the faithfuls or the traitors will come out on top as the second series of BBC’s The Traitors reaches its final episode, and although we’re just as keen to see who will walk away with the prize money, we’re just as eager to see what outfit Claudia Winkleman will be pulling out of the bag for her grand finale look. The presenter has served up many an enviable ensemble throughout the series thanks to her stylist Sinead McKeefrey’s keen eye for oversized kits and statement accessories, but if there’s one look that’ll go down in history, it’s Claudia’s oversized red jumper and khaki scarf combo.

As the grand finale of The Traitors creeps ever closer to its dramatic conclusion, host Claudia Winkleman has revealed the one moment on set that left her and the crew “physically shaking.” The 52 year old host, who swapped the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom for the presenting gig on the whodunnit-inspired gameshow for the second year running, opened up about her time on set on Thursday evening’s edition of The One Show, 25 January. While chatting to hosts Lauren Laverne and Alex Jones, Claudia admitted there wasn’t too much she could say about the show while it was still airing, as she didn’t want to ruin the magic for viewers at home so close to the final - or to give the game away to viewers who may not even have started watching the show yet at all.

Over the past few weeks, Claudia Winkleman has spoilt us with her on-screen The Traitors wardrobe. Working closely with her stylist of 18 years Sinead McKeefry, her outfits have caused such a stir they've even started a new winter trend 'Traitorcore.' Style fans have been racing to copy her eclectic country/goth looks with many pieces she has worn selling out quickly.The £4.99 faux leather red Amazon gloves proved a big hit with viewers (who knew) and her affordable knit from sustainable brand Albaray was also snapped up pronto. However, when we spotted this green bouclé blazer from Threadbare, we couldn't help but remember Claudia's epic wardrobe from past seasons.This £10 jacket, currently reduced from £48, is perfect for copying Claudia's gorgeous green look from series one.

Since the second season of The Traitors started this month, we have, like many, been obsessed with Claudia Winkleman's on-screen wardrobe - is there anyone who isn't talking about it? Hanging up her sequins and dancing shoes for outfits of a more practical nature (because let's face it, the riotous Scottish highlands is no place for strappy cami dresses and glitzy gowns), she's sparking a whole 'traitorcore' trend. Working with her stylist of 18 years, Sinead Mckeefry, the duo has managed to create a media storm with her weather-appropriate wear, ingeniously combining British heritage with a goth-punk aesthetic.

The Traitors is back on our screens for another week of deception and lies, but amongst the shocking twists and turns of the series so far, there has remained one constant – Claudia Winkleman’s wellies. Each week we – and everyone else watching – have been obsessing over the host’s chic country-ready outfits, and amongst the array of oversized knits, tailored coats and skinny jeans, her black Hunter wellies reign supreme as the understated hero of her cosy outdoor ensembles.

And secondly, why are the Traitors so ageist? One of them [Traitors] was a woman and a bit older, so they murdered her straight away.”This refers to the only female Traitor, Ash, who was banished by the contestants, with votes also being surprisingly cast by her fellow Traitors.Winkleman responded: “Well, I mean, correct, Harriet. And I would like to sit down with Harriet and have quite a few conversations about it.”She continued: “I don’t want to say anything, because what if people haven’t watched? So I’m not going to say any names.”As of January 17, three female contestants have been murdered and two have been banished.“But yeah, it’s problematic,” Winkleman added.
