It’s the latest programme to be added to her busy schedule along with other TV hits Strictly Come Dancing, The Traitors and The Piano.

She’s also set to fill in for Graham Norton as he takes a break from his award-winning chat show.

Her commitments make Claudia one of the busiest presenters on television but now she’s revealed she will turn down any new work.

Clearly content, she said: “I’m not doing anything else.

“I’ve been more than lucky and I think that’s enough. I do believe
– and I’m going to sound like my kids – in gratitude.

“I’m incredibly grateful. I love Strictly, I love The Traitors, I love The Piano, I love One Question and you won’t see me doing anything else.”

Last year Claudia quit BBC Radio 2 after 16 years on the airwaves, having most recently hosted a mid-morning Saturday slot.

Comedian Romesh Ranganathan replaced her, after Claudia explained to listeners how she wanted to spend more time with her children.

She is married to film producer Kris Thykier and the couple have three kids – Jake, Matilda and Arthur.

Claudia’s first major TV gig was on regional discussion programme Central Weekend in 1991, but her big break came when she took over from Bruce Forsyth on Strictly in 2014.

In 2002 she got her first daily TV role as a host on BBC Three show Liquid News.

One Question on Channel 4, stream or watch live from Friday 14th February at 8pm.

Claudia Winkleman's career so far

Holiday (1992–1996): Claudia started her TV career as a travel show presenter, delivering segments from exotic locations.

Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two (2004–2010): Although she worked on a few shows between Holiday and Strictly, Claudia really came into her own as a presenter on this spin-off, where she could be seen offering behind-the-scenes gossip and interviewing contestants. She hosted It Takes Two from its inception until Zoe Ball took over from her in 2011.

Strictly Come Dancing (2014–present): After Sir Bruce Forsyth left the BBC show due to health concerns, Claudia joined Tess Daly as a co-host of the main show. This is one of the jobs Claudia is best known for.

Film 2010 (2010–2016): Claudia succeeded Jonathan Ross as the host of the BBC’s flagship film review show in 2010. She was praised by The Guardian for being a “passionate and engaging advocate of cinema” in this role.

The Great British Sewing Bee (2013–2016): Claudia brought her wit to the crafting competition for three years.

The Traitors (2022-present): Claudia’s dark hair and resting mysterious face have become synonymous with this hit reality show. Despite her attempts to leave after the first series in case future seasons flopped, BBC bosses were determined to keep her on, so it seems unlikely she’ll stop heading up the show anytime soon.

‘Just leave it’ – Mikel Arteta warns Arsenal stars over Erling Haaland treatment as players brutally mock Man City ace

ARSENAL stars taunted Erling Haaland as Manchester City were humbled at the Emirates.

Myles Lewis-Skelly mimicked the City striker’s yoga celebration after netting his first Gunners strike in a five-goal rout.

And Gabriel screamed in Haaland’s face when Martin Odegaard scored the Gunners’ opener.

Haaland pointed to the Premier League badge on his shirt as he argued with Gabriel at the end of a firecracker clash — a dig at City beating them to the title last season.

And Gunners boss Mikel Arteta warned his gloating stars to cut out their antics.

He said: “That’s down to the players but they know my view on it. We have to focus on us.

“Leave anything that happened that’s part of the game on the pitch.

“I have been in football a long time. Just leave it — there is nothing there to do.”

Arsenal’s digs were revenge for Haaland throwing the ball at defender Gabriel after City’s 98th-minute leveller in September’s 2-2 draw.

The Norwegian had also fired a “stay humble” jibe at Arteta and asked 18-year-old Lewis-Skelly: “Who the f*** are you?”

Haaland netted his 250th club goal to make it 1-1 on Sunday before Arsenal blew City away.

Thomas Partey, Kai  Havertz and Ethan Nwaneri also scored as the Gunners moved six points behind leaders Liverpool — who have a game in hand.

Just after the full-time whistle, the stadium DJ played the song Humble by Kendrick Lamar.

Lewis-Skelly later posted a picture of his Haaland celebration on Instagram with the words: “Keep it humble.”

Haaland’s dad, Alfie, responded to a picture of the Arsenal ace with a caption: “This team that wins everything. Ehhhhh, not.”
When told of Arsenal’s mocking celebrations, City chief Guardiola smiled  and said: “That’s good . . . that’s good.”

Asked about the rivalry, the Gunners’ Declan Rice said: “It’s been building up.

“They nicked the title off Arsenal the year I wasn’t here — then after what happened at the Etihad . . .

“We really wanted to win because of what happened at the Etihad.”

City conceded four-plus goals in a game for the FOURTH time this term — the most during a season in Pep’s managerial career.

And City defender John Stones was “angry” and “upset” about a second-half implosion in which his side shipped four.

He fumed: “Pride hurts. Sorry to the fans that travelled to watch that.

“How we played in the last 30 minutes was not acceptable. I’m angry and upset. It is an emotional dressing room.”

Arsenal player ratings vs Man City

ARSENAL stunned Man City 5-1 at the Emirates on Sunday evening.

It was an incredible result against their rivals of recent years.

Here, we take a look at how the Gunners rated…

David Raya – 7/10
Had very little to do in the first half but made a brilliant save in the 22nd minute to deny a goalbound header from Josko Gvardiol. Made another stunning save two minutes from the half-time interval, stopping a deflected Savinho shot from close range. Powerless to stop Erling Haaland’s 55th-minute header from briefly levelling the scores.

Jurrien Timber – 6
Didn’t offer his usual attacking threat going forward but was solid defensively. Picked up a pointless yellow breaking up a harmless counter-attack in the 24th minute. Almost scored late in the second half.

William Saliba – 5
Didn’t have much to do in the first half but won all his aerial battles in the first 45 minutes. Marshalled the defence well early in the second period but was embarrassingly outjumped and outmuscled by Haaland for City’s equaliser – a major flaw of his that continues to be exposed.

Gabriel Magalhaes – 6
Like his defensive partner, he was seldom called into action in the first half. Dominant in the air in his battles with Haaland, who he trolled after Odegaard’s goal.

Myles Lewis-Skelly – 8
Continues to endear himself to the Emirates faithful with composure and tenacity beyond his years as he brilliantly floated between left back and midfield. Put real daylight between the two sides with a thumping finish just after the hour mark. This young lad is a real bright prospect for both the Gunners and England.
His trolling of Haaland by copying the Norwegian’s ‘Lotus’ celebration went down a storm with fans.

Thomas Partey – 7
Steady in the heart of midfield and broke up play well when required. Fired the Gunners back into the lead in the 57th minute with a deflected shot from outside the box.

Martin Odegaard – 7
Was in the right place at the right time to benefit from the aftermath of an uncharacteristic Manuel Akanji error and break the deadlock. Was at the heart of everything good the north Londoners did going forward.

Declan Rice – 6
Combative, as always, in the middle of the park and played a role in the home side taking the lead, teeing up Havertz who squared the ball to Odegaard.

Leandro Trossard – 6
Was particularly lively on the left in the first half, giving Matheus Nunes a real run for his money. His end product, however, wasn’t the best.

Gabriel Martinelli – 6
Lively on the right wing in the early goings. Found the back of the net in the fifth minute after some beautiful play from Odegaard but was needlessly offside. Forced a good save out of Ortega with a rasping effort in the 68th minute.

Kai Havertz – 6
Lively early doors, testing Stefan Ortega with a tame shot in the first minute. Teed up Odegaard for a tap in a few moments later. Missed a golden opportunity to double the lead in the 25th minute, dragging the ball wide with the goal at his absolute mercy. Made amends for his howler by finishing an even harder chance in the 76th minute. He well and truly needed that as he looked absolutely devoid of confidence.

SUBS

Ethan Nwaneri – 83 (on for Trossard) – 7
Put the cherry on top of the cake with an outrageous effort in second-half stoppage time.

Mikel Merino – 83 (on for Odegaard) – 5

Raheem Sterling – 89 (on for Kai Havertz ) – N/A

Riccardo Calafiori 89 (on for Lewis-Skelly) – N/A

A seventh Prem defeat of the season leaves City  fourth — level on points with Newcastle in fifth.

Guardiola added: “We are giving away too many things. We are aware this cannot happen.

“You can’t finish in the way we played. We could have  scored three more but  the team must be stable.”
