Shake-up on the cards this week as Graham Norton replaced as host of own BBC One show

There is set to be a shake-up on this Friday night's episode of the Graham Norton Show on BBC One, with the hosting duties handed over to an A-list guest. 

For only the second time in the show's long-running history, a special guest celebrity is set to take over the mantle from legendary chat show host Norton after Jack Whitehall's singular stint back in 2019.

In a change-up to the usual format, Traitors star Claudia Winkleman will attempt to fill Graham's shoes in a special episode replacing one of two usual compilation shows at the end of the series. 

In a star-studded guest line-up, Winkleman will be joined by Chris Pratt, Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Toby Jones and Rob Beckett, with music from Rachel Chinouriri.

Join Claudia Winkleman next week for our season finale, with @rachelchinourir, @robbeckettcomic, Toby Jones, Saoirse-Monica Jackson and @prattprattpratt !✨ #TheGNShow
