Comedian Alan Carr left fans and media outlets stunned after he debuted an uncanny transformation, dressing up as the iconic TV host Claudia Winkleman.
Alan captured Claudia Winkleman's signature style, complete with her famous long dark fringe, heavy eyeliner, and classic wardrobe elements.
Alan Carr's dedicated commitment to the costume brought the host of Strictly Come Dancing and The Traitors to life.
However, the look reportedly included a striking black wig, flawlessly mimicking Winkleman’s heavy, blunt fringe that often obscures her eyes.
Coupled with generous amounts of dark eyeliner, the resemblance was immediate and widely noted as "uncanny."
After all, while the specific platform for the impersonation, be it a new comedy skit, a talk show appearance, or a parody linked to their recent success on The Celebrity Traitors, is not yet confirmed.
However, the picture quickly became a viral sensation, and fans immediately recognized the dramatic, slightly gothic look that defines Winkleman’s on-screen presence.
Alan Carr and Claudia Winkleman have shared the screen recently on the hit BBC reality series The Traitors.
Claudia Winkleman hosts the show, setting the atmosphere with her mysterious persona and distinctive fashion sense, which often features tweed, knitwear, and fingerless gloves.
Furthermore, Alan Carr, who appeared as a contestant (and became the winner) on Celebrity Traitors, developed a memorable on-screen rapport with the host, often providing much-needed comedic relief during the tense game of detection and deception.
This impersonation is a clear homage to their dynamic and Winkleman’s enduring style icon status.
