Claudia Winkleman said that is “nervous all the time” as she opened up on her new chat show.

Appearing on The One Show on Wednesday (25 March), the TV presenter discussed her new programme The Claudia Winkleman Show, which has replaced The Graham Norton Show for seven weeks.

Asked by Vernon Kay about reports of her apprehension surrounding the chat show, she replied: “I get nervous all the time.”

The talk show, which debuted earlier this month, has received a mixed response from viewers and critics. Ahead of the second episode on Friday (20 March), she declined to discuss it on Heart Radio Breakfast Show. “I’m not having this conversation,” she said.
