Her outfits on The Traitors have become almost as iconic as the show itself.

So, it was little surprise that host Claudia Winkleman pulled out all the stops for a screening of the much-anticipated Celebrity Traitors at London's Charlotte Street Hotel on Tuesday.

The presenter, 54, who is styled by Sinead McKeefry, arrived in a stylish outfit, which consisted of a black blazer with the word 'Faithful' adorned across the back, matching leggings and a classic white T-shirt. 

She wore flat black shoes with fringing on the front and completed her look with striped fingerless gloves, despite the 25C heat. 

Ed Gamble, 40, who will return as the host of The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked, was also in attendance.

Ahead of the new series, Claudia admitted she was so impressed by the line-up her boss had to ‘repeat the names at least three times’ before she believed them.

‘Everyone taking part is fantastic. We are honoured they wanted to play the game,’ she said.

With several comedians in the lineup this year, Claudia was asked if any of them made her laugh.

‘They all made me laugh. They are all utterly brilliant and the funniest people on earth,' she said.

‘Rob Beckett said something that made me hide in a bush until I composed myself.’

The new series of Celebrity Traitors will begin on October 1 at 8pm with an extra-long opening episode.

Joining host Claudia in the Scottish Highlands are Amol Rajan, Bella Ramsey, James Acaster, James Blunt, Jerry Hall, Joanne McNally, Joe Lycett, Julie Hesmondhalgh, King Kenny and Leigh-Anne Pinnock.

Maya Jama, Michael Sheen, Miranda Hart, Myha'la, Professor Hannah Fry, Richard E. Grant, Rob Beckett, Romesh Ranganathan, Ross Kemp, Sebastian Croft and Sharon Rooney complete the line-up.

They will play the ultimate game of detection, trust and betrayal in the hope of winning a cash prize up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.

An explosive trailer for the first episode showed the stars meeting each other for the first time at the iconic castle as host Claudia Winkleman declared: 'The game is ON!'

With the challenges getting bigger and better than ever, a ship goes up in flames as a dramatic fireball blows up.

This year, viewers can also enjoy a one-off bonus episode, Traitor or Faithful? Claudia Decides.

A BBC description of the episode says: ‘New information will be revealed as Claudia gets to know the players on a more personal level. 

'As she interrogates their true intentions, there’s nowhere to hide, but who has it in them to turn to the dark side? 

'And who left Claudia with some easy decision to make?’
