Viewers will soon be in something different as Claudia Winkleman takes over the reins.

Graham is heading to Australia to tour with his new show ‘An Evening with Graham Norton’.

The Beeb have confirmed Claudia will present Graham’s show on February 28.

Strictly Come Dancing and The Traitors host Claudia will step in as host for one week.

She already presents smash-hit BBC shows like Strictly Come Dancing and The Traitors.

Speaking about taking over, she previously 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.”

Two years after The Graham Norton Show’s debut, it was promoted to BBC One

Graham has interviewed a wide range of celebrities; from Hollywood stars to homegrown talent.

In a new venture, he will soon be entering the world of reality TV.

The Sun revealed he will be presenting new ITV series The Neigh-bourhood, which will start filming later this year and is expected to hit our screens in 2026.

The format will show real-life families trying to rub along as neighbours after they move into a street then negotiate shared meals and other social occasions — while slowly voting each other out.

In addition, daily dramas that play out between households will impact on dynamics behind closed doors.

To win the show’s huge but as yet undisclosed prize the contestants must defeat their neighbours while also ensuring they stay popular on the street.

Graham said: “Like everyone, I’m always intrigued by what goes on behind closed doors.

“Add to that some dastardly challenges and a life-changing prize and I’m hooked.

“I feel confident that The Neighbourhood will be the nation’s favourite destination.”
