GRAHAM Norton has revealed a familiar BBC face will replace him as he takes a break from his chat show.
The Irish TV presenter, 61, is stepping away from his long-running series for a brand new gig.
Graham will jet off to Australia as he tours with his new show ‘An Evening with Graham Norton’.
In an unusual move bosses working on his Beeb chat show have drafted in a replacement and she’s a very famous face.
Claudia Winkleman will swap The Traitors castle for the bright and glitzy studio lights for the duration of Graham’s absence.
Graham will be away from the award-winning chat show throughout March.
Speaking about taking over from Graham, the Head and Shoulders star joked: “I apologise in advance!”
Claudia continued: “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.”
The announcement was made as Claudia joined Myles Smith, Tom Hiddleston, Bri Larson and Billy Porter on the sofa.
