French & Saunders Star in Comic Relief Red Nose Day Sketch ‘The Traitors’ With a Star Studded Line Up
Claudia Winkleman from BBC One’s The Traitors will be joined by celebrity guests including French and Saunders and Mary Berry in a sketch for Red Nose Day, according to an announcement made by Richard Curtis on Winkleman’s Radio 2 show.
The sketch will focus on Winkleman’s character and will feature both “Faithful” and “Traitor” celebrities. The Comic Relief Night of TV will be broadcast on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on 17 March.
Claudia Winkleman, played by Dawn French, will host the sketch, joined by Jennifer Saunders and further unannounced guests, masked as “Traitors.” The aim of the sketch, created in support of Comic Relief, is to “mercilessly tear apart” The Traitors, which Curtis called “the most brilliant reality show of all time.” Winkleman commented, “I feel like I’m in an alternate universe, and I like it.”
Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day is on the BBC on 17 March.
