The Graham Norton Show will be guest-hosted by The Traitors UK host Claudia Winkleman while he tours Australia and NZ for the first time.
An Evening With Graham Norton tours Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne & Sydney in March (most shows are sold out).
After Norton revealed the news, Winkleman quipped: “I apologise in advance”.
This will be the second time Norton has been replaced on his own chat show, with Jack Whitehall sitting in the presenter’s chair in 2019.
Episodes are expected to screen in coming months on 10.

Network 10 are using Graham’s show as a slot filler with 7 slots filled this week. Graham makes 19 regular shows a year so fans should beef about the number of repeats. Claudia is a guest on this weeks show in the UK before she takes over the chair later in the year. (March ?) The delicious Cameron Diaz will be on the Jan 17th UK ep. I would expect new eps here when the ratings start.
What is it with UK hosts that dont host their own show?! First Lorraine and now Graham!!!
Why does it seem you have a issue with a host taking time out? As the article says its Graham Norton second time he had done this. You refer to Lorraine lucky I know who you mean. Lorraine Kelly has a show on tv that is on between 9 and 10 each day. She normally hosts 4 out of 5 day anyhow. She had time off as she wanted to spend time with her new granddaughter.
Lorraine should rename her show Lorraine and Friends. Last year she hosted 60% of the episodes for the year. (source @LorraineKWatch on Twitter)
It was posted with my tongue firmly in my cheek! Lorraine didn’t even host her own show 60% of the year last year!!!
And still your point is….. she been around for decades and if she on a good contract that allows that flexibility after you have done the hard yard why not…..
She did host 60% of her show last year, she didn’t host only 40%…
Unless something miraculous happens, Evan, your assumption is waaaay off. The ep just aired on 10 was the Beeb’s Nov 29 ep. By the looks of it, and the way the show’s season plays out, it looks like CW has been given the last regular ep of the season.
They played the NYE show a few days after new year’s…probably just playing some of the episodes they’d missed to get back to their week or two delay again.
On the UK version of the show, it was announced it would be the February 28th show that would be hosted by Claudia.
So I assume that would air in Australia on Sunday March 2nd.
