Friday the 13th might be considered unlucky for some, but it will be a day to look forward to next month, thanks to Claudia Winkleman<\/a>. The beloved presenter will be kicking off her highly anticipated chat show in just two weeks’ time (13 March) on BBC One. <\/p>\n

The Claudia Winkleman Show will see the Traitors<\/a> and former Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> host sitting down with some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, from Hollywood actors to British comedians \u2013 and everything in-between. <\/p>\n

The show will air on Friday nights at 10.40pm on BBC One, and will be available to stream on iPlayer. <\/p>\n

The bar has already been set pretty high for the debut episode, as Claudia (and her live studio audience) will be joined by the iconic Jeff Goldblum. <\/p>\n

The Wicked star will be discussing his band The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra and their new album Night Blooms, ahead of their upcoming tour. <\/p>\n

“I can’t quite believe it and I’m incredibly grateful to the BBC for this amazing opportunity,” Claudia said at the time of the announcement<\/a>. “I’m obviously going to be awful, that goes without saying, but I’m over the moon they’re letting me try.”<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, ahead of her chat show, Claudia will also be hosting Channel 4’s live coverage of <\/a>Crufts<\/a>, alongside returning reporters Clare Balding, Ellie Simmonds and Radzi Chinyanganya.<\/strong><\/p>\n
