Claudia Winkleman scores millions from TV hits as she walks away from ‘Strictly’

Claudia Winkleman made impressive earnings from her TV presenting roles in TV as she prepares to leave Strictly Come Dancing.

The BAFTA award winner, 53, announced last month alongside Tess Daly they both will be signing off from the ballroom after this series.

Claudia has continued to attract the attention of TV executives, remaining in high demand, and will reportedly host her own BBC chat show as nearly as next year. Now her earnings have been revealed.

According to company accounts seen by The Sun, Claudia earned approximately £2 million from fronting several major productions. 

The mum-of-three runs Big Owl Productions, which has paid an impressive £575,000 in corporation tax, according to newly released accounts. 

The figures, covering earnings from May 2024 to April 2025, indicate that Claudia pocketed around £2 million, with the company also holding £3 million in reserves.

Claudia established the production company in 2003, and it is registered under ‘amusement and recreation activities’ at Companies House.

Alongside her long-standing role on Strictly Come Dancing, Claudia fronts the BBC hit The Traitors, currently one of the highest-rated shows on television.

The series is set to return next year for its fourth season, while the broadcaster has also commissioned a second celebrity edition. 

Earlier this month, it was reported that BBC bosses are ‘fast-tracking’ Claudia’s new chat show, hoping to launch it before the next season of The Traitors.
