Claudia Winkleman previously opened up about the backlash she received for replacing Jonathan Ross on BBC’s movie review show, Film.
The TV legend, 53, has been a staple on screens for over three decades. From stints on The Traitors to The Piano – which returns tonight (April 27) – Claudia has remained booked and busy over the years.
Back in 2010, Claudia landed a gig as the new presenter on Film, a BBC movie review show, replacing Jonathan Ross.
But the decision didn’t go down well with some – and Claudia was quick to react to the criticism.

Claudia Winkleman on replacing Jonathan Ross
In 2010, Claudia took over from Jonathan Ross as host of BBC’s Film. Jonathan had been at the helm of the show since 1999.
Talking about being the new presenter, Claudia said at the time: “I am completely over the moon about being given this enormous honour and am incredibly proud to be to be presenting the new look Film 2010.”
Claudia – who co-hosted with film journalist Danny Leigh – added: “It’s an honour to follow on from the brilliant Jonathan Ross.”
But Claudia’s new role was met with backlash; something she said she “didn’t disagree with”.
