While fans of BBC's The Traitors are gripped by the psychological drama, fashion enthusiasts are equally captivated by host Claudia Winkleman's standout wardrobe. The presenter has once again stolen the sartorial spotlight, offering an early glimpse of an outfit from an upcoming episode that has already caused a stir.
A Whimsical Wardrobe Moment
In her latest preview, shared via Instagram on 14 January 2026, Winkleman revealed she will be wearing a playful duck-print jumper from the iconic British heritage brand, Burberry. The piece, officially named the Intarsia-Knit Wool Sweater, playfully nods to the British saying "lovely weather for ducks" and perfectly encapsulates Winkleman's signature blend of classic and quirky style.
Her affection for the knit was so profound she humorously confessed in her post's caption: "I actually licked this sweater before sending it back (sorry)." This charming admission underscores just how much the presenter, alongside her stylist Sinead McKeefry, adored the piece.
Styling and Substantial Savings
For the show, the boxy, cropped jumper was styled with wide-leg check trousers and brogues, continuing the show's aesthetic of country chic with a twist. Crafted from 100% wool, the sweater is designed for warmth, a necessity for filming in the Scottish Highlands.
For viewers inspired to emulate the look, there is now a chance to snap up the exact item. The jumper is currently on a huge 40% discount at luxury retailer Net-a-Porter. The price has been slashed from £990 to £594. However, would-be buyers must act quickly, as at the time of writing, only one size (extra small) remains in stock.
Chic and Cheeky Alternatives
If the Burberry original sells out or exceeds your budget, several high-street alternatives capture the same whimsical, countryside spirit. For a fraction of the price, the Clarence Farmyard Fair Isle Scalloped Knitted Jumper at Joanie features a delightful farm scene, including ducks, for just £65.
Another option is the Men's Lambswool Graphic Crew Neck at House of Bruar, also priced at £65. Though listed in the men's section, its rustic charm aligns perfectly with Winkleman's often androgynous style. Finally, Glassworks London offers a Blue Intarsia Duck Jumper for £75, featuring an all-over duck pattern reminiscent of Princess Diana's famous black sheep sweater.
Claudia Winkleman's fashion choices on The Traitors continue to drive trends and conversation, proving that in the world of television, a standout knit can be just as memorable as a shocking betrayal.
