BBC The Traitors' Claudia Winkleman’s impressive net worth as she presents third series of hit gameshow
Household name Claudia Winkleman has a very impressive net worth, which might not come as a surprise as she hosts two of the biggest shows on telly. She is one half of the presenting duo for the BBC One flagship show Strictly Come Dancing and after new reality TV show The Traitors became such a success, she is also loved for that.
Currently Claudia is presenting The Traitors, which airs Wednesday to Friday on BBC One, and as the series isn't live she has remained tight lipped about who comes out triumphant, the faithful's or the traitors. It has been reported that Claudia's net worth is nearly a whopping £9 million.
As well as The Traitors, which she has won a BAFTA for, and Strictly Come Dancing Claudia also hosts hit Channel 4 show The Piano and is the face of the haircare brand Head and Shoulders. Until March 2024 Claudia also had her own BBC Radio 2 show on a Saturday morning which was taken over by Romesh Ranganathan.

Claudia's first major television job was in 2001, on the regional discussion programme Central Weekend. Between 2002 and 2004, she began her first daily TV role when she hosted the BBC Three Entertainment update show Liquid News, taking over from Christopher Price on the now defunct BBC Choice.
In 2005 she began hosting the Strictly Come Dancing spin-off show Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two. It was in 2009 that she first appeared on the main Strictly Come Dancing show, due to former presenter Bruce Forsyth being on sick leave.
In 2010, Claudia became co-host of the Sunday night results show of Strictly Come Dancing, presenting alongside Tess Daly. In 2014 she started presenting the main show with Tess, following the departure of Bruce. For the latest TV & Showbiz news, sign up to our newsletter.
Claudia is married to film producer Kris Thykier and they have three children together, Jake who is 21, Matilda who is 18 and Arthur who sis 13. During Halloween in 2014 Claudia's daughter, Matilda who was eight at the time, was taken to hospital after being seriously injured when her Halloween costume caught fire.
She also has a famous half sister, Sophie Winkleman, who married into the British royal family when she became the wife of Lord Frederick Windsor, the son of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent. Comedy fans may remember Sophie as Big Suze in Peep Show, which saw Sophie appear on the show for 10 episodes.
Sophie married Lord Frederick at Hampton Court Palace in September 2009, and although she was entitled to be named Lady Frederick Windsor through her marriage, she continues to use her own name for her professional career. The couple have two children together.
