EXCLUSIVE: Claudia Winkleman has admitted she had worries about creating a second season of Channel 4's The Piano, as the first series was just 'unbelievably poetic'
Claudia Winkleman has established herself as one of TV's best presenters, so it comes as no surprise that she's in high demand these days. She's famed for fronting BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, but many will now associate her with hit reality TV show The Traitors, which began in 2022.
She's been busy filming the second series of The Piano along with singer-songwriter Mika and Chinese pianist Lang Lang, but admits she was apprehensive about creating the second instalment of the Channel 4 show, due to fears it wouldn't measure up to the first. "And that is just unbelievably poetic. I’d just never heard of anything like that," Claudia says, referring to Mika and Lang Lang being hidden away in season one, with pianists unaware of their involvement in the show.
"And then they knew so I was like, now they're gonna come in ball gowns and say under their breath ‘Hey Mika’," Claudia tells us. However, it turned out there was no need for her to worry, as the magic of the show has managed to remain the same, with Claudia noting that the some pianists didn't even arrive "wearing makeup".
