The Traitors would be nothing without its presenter.
Thats ridiculous, apologies.
Claudia Winkleman isnt a forest creature; shes a human person, equal parts knitwear and eyeliner.
Her oversized jumpers arent self-woven in an underground den; she buys them.
Who knit them out of rainclouds and sin.
Have you seen her on a promotional circuit?
Book her onThis Morningto plug her new tour and shell derail it by talkingexclusively about risotto.
She once madeS Club 7 storm out of an interview.
HerWould I Lie to Youyarnsare (the ultimate accolade) almost the equal of Bob Mortimers.
OnThe Traitors, Winkleman speaks.
It draws the players towards her.
She gives proud aunt while her eyes dance with flames fed by the chaos she wreaks.
Winklemans style isnt just androgynous, its cross-species.
Her M&S eyeliner was called Use More, Literally Loads.
It wouldnt be the same with anybody else.
The Traitors series threeairs on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 9pm on BBC One in the UK.
