Alan Cumming reveals secret communication with Claudia on Traitors set – even though they've never met
The pair nearly came face-to-face on one occasion 'IT'S NUTS' Alan Cumming reveals secret communication with Claudia on Traitors set – even though they've never met THE Traitors host Alan Cumming has revealed the secret way he communicates with Claudia Winkleman. Claudia, 53, hosts the BBC's hit back-stabbing reality show in the UK, while Scot Alan fronts the programme in the US. 2 The Scot became the host of the US version of The Traitors in 2023 Credit: Getty 2 Claudia fronts the UK version of the show but the pair have never met in person Credit: PA The American version of the psychological game show is different from the British version as the contestants include reality stars. However, it is set in the same castle in the Highlands as the BBC version fronted by Claudia. Despite having the same job, the pair have never met in person. But Hollywood star Alan discovered a crafty way to communicate with his colleague, despite the distance. He told The Mirror: "Isn't it nuts? We might be the same person because you've never seen us in the same room. We have mutual friends and nearly met years ago. "We were the guinea pigs for the show so there was some trepidation about doing something new. "We leave messages for each other on the make-up mirror." The pair came close to meeting when Alan was in talks to appear on Claudia's BBC Radio 2 show, but time difference meant it never happened. He added: "I realised I'd have to get up at 4am because I was in New York. Sorry, Claudia. I love – but not that much!" We recently revealed Claudia banked £1million last year. The Traitors host Claudia Winkleman reveals hilarious encounter with Scots vet on location The sum was revealed as it emerged the 12 episodes of the third series got a combined 110million views with iPlayer stats included. And she has vowed to reject any new TV work after her success with Strictly Come Dancing and The Traitors. Meanwhile, Alan will host the Bafta TV awards for the first time when he presents the ceremony later this month. The 60-year-old star of the James Bond and X-Men franchises, will helm the event at the Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall in London. In 2018, he won the Scottish Bafta for outstanding contribution to film and TV.
