Claudia Winkleman's substantial television earnings have been made public as the celebrated presenter prepares to depart from her long-standing role on Strictly Come Dancing.
The 53-year-old fan favourite, who announced her exit alongside co-host Tess Daly last month, has seen her financial success through various presenting roles laid bare in newly released company accounts.
Multi-Million Pound Production Company Success
According to documents obtained by The Sun, Winkleman's production company, Big Owl Productions, generated approximately £2 million from her fronting several major television productions.
The accounts, covering earnings from May 2024 to April 2025, show the business paid a substantial £575,000 in corporation tax and maintains an impressive £3 million in reserves.
Winkleman established Big Owl Productions back in 2003, with Companies House listing its activities under 'amusement and recreation activities'.
New Projects On The Horizon
The presenter's departure from Strictly coincides with significant career developments. The BBC is reportedly fast-tracking a new chat show hosted by Winkleman, which could air as early as March next year.
This new programme will see her interviewing A-list celebrities on Friday nights, with the broadcaster hoping it will run for at least two months.
Meanwhile, Winkleman continues to host the massively successful The Traitors for the BBC, with the show confirmed to return for a fourth series and a second instalment of its celebrity version.
To accommodate her busy schedule, the presenter has recently cleared her diary by stepping down from hosting Channel 4's quiz show One Question.
BBC's Golden Girl
A television insider told The Sun: 'If ever proof were needed that Claudia is now very much the BBC's golden girl following the huge success of The Celebrity Traitors, then this is it.'
'Given that Strictly started in September, it means that by the time her new chat show concludes she will have been on our screens almost constantly for eight months.'
The source added that work on the new chat show is 'hugely picking up pace', with the BBC expected to reveal more details about the project next month.
Winkleman and Daly were recently photographed arriving in Blackpool ahead of what will be their final special show at the iconic ballroom for Strictly Come Dancing.
