It has now been revealed that Claudia will be back on screen in just two months, with a premiere in March.
The new series is being produced by the same team behind The Show and will air when Graham's show is not scheduled.
Appearing on Lorraine today, Graham shared his thoughts on Claudia’s new venture.
He stated: “So, basically, what’s happened is that I used to do another show – when I finished at the end of February, I would return for April and May. I stopped doing that a few years ago.
“Then, this idea came up for Claudia to take over. It’s a very standalone show,”
“She filled in for me last year and did an amazing job; it was just very Claudia,” Graham remarked about his close friend.
He continued: “This will be even more Claudia because it’s her own set, her own everything.
“I believe she starts in March. I think she’s on towards the end of March.”
Speaking about her new talk show earlier this month, Claudia expressed: “I can hardly believe it and I’m incredibly grateful to the BBC for this amazing opportunity.
“I know I’m going to be terrible, that’s a given, but I’m over the moon that they’re allowing me to try.”
Kalpna Patel-Knight, the head of entertainment commissioning at the BBC, commented: “Claudia is a true national treasure – warm, witty, and endlessly entertaining.
“She has a remarkable ability to make people feel at ease and draw out the very best in them, whether they are global superstars or audience members.
“It’s thrilling that she will be hosting her own show on the BBC, and we can’t wait for viewers to join Claudia and her sofa full of stars.”
This announcement follows the news from October that Tess and Claudia were departing after co-hosting the show for 11 years.
Tess left after 21 years, while Claudia departed after 11.
The two women had hosted the show together for over a decade, and their final episodes were filled with emotion.
The Strictly Come Dancing Day episode marked Tess and Claudia’s last appearance as hosts.
