Claudia Winkleman has quit her new BBC chat show after one series, citing nerves as the reason. The decision comes after she transitioned from hosting *Strictly Come Dancing*, a prominent role that established her as the BBC’s most successful female presenter. Winkleman stated she was “incredibly grateful” for the opportunity but found the experience too anxiety-inducing to enjoy.
Winkleman took on the chat show following her departure from *Strictly Come Dancing*, which had been subject to recent controversy, though details of that context are not specified in reports of her resignation. The launch of the new program generated significant anticipation. Alison Boshoff reported in the Daily Mail that Winkleman’s decision was prompted by a level of nervousness she hadn't anticipated.
The BBC has not commented on plans to replace Winkleman or the future of the chat show format, leaving uncertain whether the program will continue with another host or be discontinued. No right-leaning outlets have reported on this story.
