The new series of The Traitors is in full swing so it must be time for this oddly disconcerting ’90s clip of Claudia Winkleman to go viral again

The Traitors is back in full swing on BBC1 so it got us thinking again – again! – of this clip of the great Claudia Winkleman from back in the ’90s which will never be less than totally disconcerting.

It’s the presenter talking to Anne Diamond and Nick Owen back in the day – 30 years back in the day! – and we’re still not sure it’s the same person we know today.

Surely the most ’90s thing you’ll watch this week.

I can’t stop watching this 1996 interview with Claudia Winkleman that is 0% fringe and 100% posh phone voice. pic.twitter.com/XHK6PRmPlP

We don’t know where to start. Fortunately, these people did.

This is an amazing find.

I honestly would NOT have put this superpretty 20sth Sloane together with the gothic look of today’s Claudia Winkleman.

How intriguing.

"all about eye contact"… Grows fringe to make it nearly impossible to do it

And finally …

Anne and Nick will forever remind me of having chicken pox in year 5. My Daytime TV era.
