We’re just days away from the return of Claudia Winkleman’s Celebrity Traitors as the A-list-filled iteration of the hit show is back on our screens on BBC1 on October 1. With well-known faces like Joe Lycett, Richard E. Grant, Michael Sheen, Miranda Hart, and others taking on the challenge in the iconic castle.
While many people are buzzing for the drama, betrayals and surprises of the show, we can’t wait for Claudia’s wardrobe reveal. So in the meantime, we’re poring over some of the presenter’s most memorable looks from the show.
And one prominent accessory is her distinctive red fingerless gloves. While much of her wardrobe leans toward the designer side of things, fans of the show may be shocked to hear that these gloves cost less than £30.
And they’re available on Amazon (as reported by Grazia). The GSG SINCE 1998 Women’s Leather Fingerless Gloves are priced at £29.99 and are said to be made from premium sheepskin.
Boasting a luxurious texture and long-lasting quality, they seem soft yet robust, providing a naturally breathable fit that feels like a second skin, and are available in five different colours – including black, which looks to feature in one of the programme’s new teasers.

Claudia is frequently seen wearing these gloves paired with dark cloaks and oversized coats while presenting between the challenges and round table discussions, with their vibrant red colour making them instantly recognisable.
The gloves feature perforated fingers and open-back panels designed to release heat and promote air flow, reports the Daily Record. This design keeps hands comfortable during milder conditions while providing warmth when it turns chilly.
The former Strictly Come Dancing presenter is well-known for her fondness for fingerless gloves on the BBC programme and alternates between woollen and leather styles to complete her ensemble. Throughout the latest series, she’s been seen wearing cashmere wristwarmers such as these Tiree Blue Donegal Cashmere Wristwarmers, £145, from Johnstons of Elgin.
Her long-standing stylist, Sinead McKeefry, has also revealed she’s worn pieces from Scottish fashion label Brora, including its Women’s Cashmere Wristwarmers, £65. Whether this preference for these brands will carry through to Celebrity Traitors series 2 remains to be seen.
However, it appears the television presenter and journalist has remained loyal to the red fingerless gloves as they’ve been a consistent element on the programme since it launched. Customers who’ve followed her lead and purchased them have commended their ‘fabulous’ design.
One fan of the gloves said: “Absolutely love these. They are the same ones as in The Traitors (UK), too. The wrist is a little loose on me, so I’m going to add another clasp. They are fabulous!” Another customer commented: “Lovely soft leather, good value for money, they’re well-made and fit perfectly, looking great, they’re of such good quality, you even receive a bag for them. Red in colour.”
Someone else highlighted their functionality: “Beautiful gloves and I’m now able to use a dog leash without fumbling and using two hands! They keep chill off hands, and I shall be buying more.”
The main complaint from certain customers concerned inconsistent sizing, with some buyers reporting the gloves ran either too small or too large, with little middle ground. One three-star review stated: “The gloves were too small, both medium and large sizes,” while another cautioned: “Far too big, but reviews say size up. DONT!”.
Nevertheless, another satisfied customer remarked: “Really smart, comfortable, fashionable and durable gloves. Very pleased with. Second pair bought.
“Grip well, re driving, etc. Not too hot or cold when wearing. Fit well and as per the product sizing guide. Use instead of arthritis gloves as these seem to help more with my needs and have the added bonus of being ok in wet weather, etc.”
