How to shop Claudia Winkleman's countryside-chic Traitors look as the new season kicks off

Fans of The Traitors can't get enough of the backstabbing, mistrust and betrayal lurking around every corner, not to mention the fingerless gloves and Fair Isle jumpers that Claudia Winkleman, 52, can't get enough of.The BBC1 hit show is keeping viewers hooked until the bitter end when we'll see who finally takes home a cash prize of up to £120,000 but with the final looming, we're keen to dive in a bit deeper to see what really goes on behind the scenes and what secrets lurk behind the murder mystery show. Does Claudia have any real say in who she chooses as a Traitor? Are the game players under lock and key? And do they really sleep in the gigantic Saltburn-esque Scottish Ardross Castle? Contestants are banned from the real world No access to the outside world is allowed - whether you're a Faithful or a Traitor you can't have access to a mobile where the contestant could easily Google the others and gain unfair advantages.

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 Traitors kicked off earlier this month, we've been getting to know the contestants hoping to walk away with the huge cash prize. Jasmine Boatswain is one of the Faithfuls hoping to weed out the last of the remaining Traitors ahead of the final on Friday, 26 January. Away from the show, hosed by Claudia Winkleman, it looks as though Jasmine goes by a different name.

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 host Claudia Winkleman has hit out at 'misogyny' among this year’s Traitors as Faithful Charlotte was sent home and yet another male, Ross, was recruited into the fold. Clearly unimpressed by the choice made by remaining Traitors Harry and Andrew, Claudia even wryly joked that their decision to recruit another male was "just like the olden days".The unexpected recruitment happened during Friday's show (19 January), when tensions were already at an all time high due to the high number of players that had already been eliminated.

Fans of The Traitors appear to have already picked their winner, and are hoping he'll win "solo", after Wednesday's edition of the thrilling BBC show saw fan-favourite Diane 'murdered' and Traitor Miles uncloaked and banished. The unexpected development came after his fellow Traitor Paul orchestrated the discovery of his poisoning, something which lead to Miles being voted out of the Scottish castle. As the players thanked Paul for revealing Miles as a Traitor, Paul broke down in tears and put on an Oscar- worthy show - however, fellow Traitor Harry wasn't impressed.

If there's a stand-out star from series two of The Traitors, it's Diane Carson - the 63-year-old retired teacher who's charmed fans with her no-nonsense attitude on the show, her secret family relation to fellow contestant Ross and her abrupt copper bob. Viewers of the BBC One show watched last night as Diane became the latest of the Faithful contestants to be 'killed' by the Traitors in the game, being 'murdered' in plain sight by Miles in a fittingly camp fashion - with a glass of fizzy rosé. While the fan-favourite loved filming the show over several weeks, she revealed in an exclusive chat with OK! that her friends grew concerned during her time away - as she'd left her husband to respond to her texts.

Fans of The Traitors have said 'how cruel' as they didn't know whether to laugh or cry over one particular detail in Diane's 'funeral' scenes. It was a long wait for fans of the BBC One show to find out if the retired headteacher had in fact drunk the fizzy wine which would see her "poisoned and killed".

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.

TV presenter Claudia Winkleman has been tipped for a major new role as a potential replacement for Graham Norton on his BBC chat show.

Whether you’re team Traitors or team Faithfuls, there’s one thing viewers of BBCs The Traitors can agree on – Claudia Winkleman’s outfits are what dreams are made of. Despite the series being filmed at the end of summer (contestants are often spotted in T-shirt and shorts commenting on the heat), Claudia’s stylist was two steps ahead when she was planning her outfits, dressing her in some seriously enviable winter-appropriate looks that have got us all clamouring for details during each episode.

But the presenter, who is instantly recognisable for her iconic heavy black fringe and dark eyeliner, has already had an expensive wardrobe for the first three episodes, reportedly worth a staggering £8,000.

BBC The Traitors' host Claudia Winkleman confessed she was nervous about the second series of the show, as she really wants fans to love it. At Ardross Castle, where the show is filmed, Claudia chatted with the Mirror about the success of the show and her hopes for the new series, which started this week... Are you nervous about the second series of The Traitors? I really want the people who loved it the first time to love it for a second, and we feel very responsible.

Many BBC viewers all had the same complaint as the second episode of The Traitors aired live on Thursday, 4 December.The show saw Sonja banished from the castle by her castmates, despite her actually being a Faithful. At the start of the episode, Aubrey was also the first Faithful to be murdered by the Traitors after host Claudia Winkleman announced someone would lose their place on the show.The episode saw the contestants sat around the table as they discussed who they think is a Traitor and why.

As The Traitors season two officially got underway on Wednesday 3 January, fans of the mystery challenge show were delivered a shocking twist at the end of the first episode, when it was revealed that a brand new Traitor was hiding in plain sight after having personally been selected by their fellow contestants. Initially, three contestants had been chosen by host Claudia Winkleman to act as the Traitors and “kill” the Faithfuls one by one, however in a surprise twist this series, the final Traitor was to be hand selected by the Traitors themselves. While the first episode didn’t reveal the identity of the mystery person, the second episode did, and unveiled to fans at home that Miles Asteri had been chosen to join Harry, Paul and Ash in the hopes of securing victory and outsmarting the Faithfuls.
