BBC viewers were "obsessed" with Claudia Winkleman's "iconic" entrance on The Traitors tonight (January 10) with some hailing "Aunty Claudia strikes again".

Claudia, who has presented all three series of the game show appeared at the beginning of episode six, sitting on the shoulders of two warriors in costume, as the contestants arrived for their daily challenge.

The 52-year-old was seen wearing a huge long grey fluffy coat as the contestants were told that in pairs, the Faithfuls and hidden Traitors had to battle it out to claim a shield, in order to be protected from 'murder'.

Taking to Twitter, formerly X, fans of The Traitors couldn't contain their love for Claudia, as one put it: "No one could host this better than Claudia."

Others wrote: "Claudia WinkleMOTHER" and "MOTHER CLAUDIA".

"Queen Claudia on her throne we love to see it," posted this person.

A viewer shared: "Claudia is iconic."

"This entrance. 10/10. No notes. Aunty Claudia strikes again," tweeted an account.

Someone said: "There’s literally no other presenter on tv right now like Claudia Winkleman i’m so obsessed with her."

One viewer posted: "hang it in the Louvre!! she just shows up to be disappointed in the contestants and serve looks."

Who left The Traitors last night?

Tensions continued to rise in The Traitor's castle on Thursday (January 9) after another Faithful was banished from the game.

Fingers were pointed at barber Tyler, Anglican priest Lisa and student Freddie during a heated debate at the roundtable in yesterday's as the contestants tried to decipher who are the remaining Traitors in the competition.

Tyler tried to defend accusations that his smiling at others was suspicious but he was ultimately banished after receiving 12 votes from other contestants.

Afterwards, the 29-year-old barber from Leicester addressed his fellow players, saying: “I just want to say I love all of you, it’s just a game, so just keep going and smash it.

“I love you. I am a faithful.”

The Traitors airs on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays on BBC One and iPlayer at 9pm.
