presenter has revealed surprising role in the making of the hit show. Claudia, 52, is known for her striking appearance – including her blunt fringe and dramatic eyeliner – but she has now confessed that her looks have royal inspiration.
When asked about her fashion muses, the host said that she is usually inspired by famous faces who she then bases her style on for each role.
She revealed: “We always like to have a muse, for Strictly it has been Anita Dobson and this year it was Demis Roussos.
“For Traitors it’s Princess Anne meets Sarah Brightman. We’ve already decided on next year’s – I’ll be dressing as Gerald from ,” she quipped on Friday’s episode of The Show.
Claudia – who will host Norton’s show while he is in Australia on February 28 – also described how she was massaged by a vet while filming The Traitors.

She explained: “I did my back in so asked if I could see a physio. We are in the middle of nowhere so that wasn’t easy.
“When this chap turned up the producer asked me not to be chatty with him.
“I thought she meant I was not to talk about what was going on in the production, so I asked him who else he had treated and he said, ‘two shire horses and a miniature dachshund’ – it turns out they didn’t want me to know he was a vet.”
She also said how proud she was of the series, in which contestants attempt to identify who among them are “faithfuls” and who are “traitors”, as the traitors plot to murder the faithfuls, and the faithfuls try to identify and banish the traitors.

Finalists have a chance of winning a chunk of the £120,000 prize, but if a traitor survives until the very end, unidentified, they take home the full prize pot, while any faithfuls left go home with nothing.
Winkleman added: “I am always very nervous that people aren’t watching and then incredibly grateful that they are.
“I feel about Traitors like people feel about an offspring – you’re so glad when people love it. I can’t say much but the producers are so clever and there are lots of twists and turns coming.”
