The Traitors is set for another hit series with season four as Claudia Winkleman and her Traitors take on the Faithfuls in the picturesque Scottish Highlands.
And while many of us are gripped by the murders and banishments, a lot of us have become hugely obsessed with Claudia's wardrobe – in particular her gloves.
Going for the full Scottish countryside vibes with her big knits, roll necks and tartan greens, it's Claudia's fingerless gloves that have all her fashion fans in awe.
Applauding her move, one fan wrote on X (formally known as Twitter): "Claudia Winkleman and her fingerless gloves serve every time on The Traitors."
Agreeing, another added: "If there’s one thing about Claudia Winkleman it’s that she rocks a pair of fingerless gloves always."
So just why does Claudia wear gloves on The Traitors? Well, simply put, it's because she loves them. And because we imagine it gets a little bit chilly in Scotland no matter what the time of year.

Joking during an only interview, the Strictly star said she liked "to think the most important thing was what fingerless gloves" she was wearing but "it's just not true" as she went on to detail some Traitors secrets.
During season two, Claudia's bold red gloves became the most talked-about item as her stylist was bombarded with questions about where they were from.
And surprisingly, Sinead McKeefry, who documents all her Traitors looks on Instagram, revealed they were from Amazon. However, thanks to the Claudia effect, they sold out immediately.
We can't wait to see what looks she brings in 2026.
