Read our privacy policy Claudia Winkleman has named two moments from The Traitors that made her realise the show was going to be “special”. We were like, ‘Never mind – we had fun.’ And then somethig sort of magic happened and Twitter took over.” When she was asked when she knew “we were onto something special”, Winkleman replied: “I think probably the first roundtable. So we were up there and the surroundings were beautiful, there was a peacock and I was wearing quite a lot of tweed – and then the first roundtable happened and they kicked out Nicky.” She continued: “Nicky was there for a real reason, an important reason, and I thought, ‘Hold on a minute, just hold on a second – something’s happening here.’” Nicky had made no secret of the fact that she was hoping to use the show’s prize fund in order to purchase a myoelectric model prosthetic hand that she could control with her thoughts. Claudia Winklemas presenting ‘The Traitors’ “I’ll never forget when Will and Amanda both evicted Alyssa – when they turned on a fellow traitor,” she said.
