Claudia Winkleman<\/a>\u00a0is preparing for a major career move, with plans for her own\u00a0BBC<\/a>\u00a0chat show currently in advanced talks.<\/p>\n

The series is set to be produced by So Television, the same company behind The\u00a0Graham Norton<\/a>\u00a0Show, in what looks to be the BBC\u2019s latest attempt to secure its next big entertainment hit.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Deadline<\/a>, the project would see Winkleman fronting her own primetime talk show during periods when Graham Norton\u2019s show is off-air, ensuring there\u2019s no competition between the two BBC staples.<\/p>\n

The format is expected to carry the same mix of celebrity interviews and playful humour that has made Winkleman one of the UK\u2019s most distinctive presenters.<\/p>\n

The timing of the development is striking: it comes just as Winkleman and\u00a0Tess Daly<\/a>\u00a0announced they will be stepping away from\u00a0Strictly Come Dancing<\/a>\u00a0after this year\u2019s series \u2014 a move that\u00a0reportedly caught BBC executives off guard.<\/a><\/p>\n

Sources close to production said the broadcaster was \u2018blindsided\u2019 by the pair\u2019s\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0announcement, noting it as a reminder of the \u2018presenter power\u2019 the duo now hold.<\/p>\n

Daly, 56, has been on the\u00a0BBC<\/a>\u00a0reality series for 21 years since the show started in 2004, with\u00a0the Winkleman joining her on the ballroom floor\u00a0<\/a>in 2011 \u2013 truly marking the end of an era.<\/p>\n

Fans immediately wondered why the pair had decided to depart,with one insider telling\u00a0the Daily Mail<\/a>\u00a0that with Winkleman\u2019s career \u2018moving up a level\u2019, she is reportedly ready to explore opportunities outside of Strictly.<\/p>\n

A chat show like Norton\u2019s would certainly be a new major opportunity for the star.<\/p>\n

Winkleman has already tested the waters of the late-night chat format. Earlier this year, she filled in for Norton while he was on break from his BBC duties, winning praise for her relaxed, self-deprecating hosting style.<\/p>\n

Opening her first episode, she joked, \u2018To be honest, nobody is more livid than me,\u2019 in reference to temporarily taking over Norton\u2019s chair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
