Celebrity Traitors bosses have imposed certain wardrobe restrictions on host Claudia Winkleman to ensure that nothing gives the game away.
The presenter's outfits have gained quite a following since the hit show began. However, when it comes the all-important Traitors selection in the first episode, there are rules that must be followed, and jewellery is firmly off limits.
Executive producer Sarah Fay lifted the lid on Ms Winkleman’s wardrobe restrictions while speaking to her at a press screening of the second series of Celebrity Traitors.

She said: ‘You're not allowed jewellery, though, are you, when we do the Traitors pick. We are very strict on that in case it jangles!’
Ms Winkleman, 53, admitted she is equally cautious about the noise her clothes make, saying there are certain fabrics she avoids because she fears they could give her away.

‘Yes, and there's some fabric that I think are noisy, even though I've been told fabric does not make a noise,’ she said. And it’s not just her clothes she has to think about.
‘I would like to do a more attractive sort of [shoe], but I'm too scared,’ Ms Winkleman added. ‘Sometimes I just want to wear a flat, but I can't. I have to do spiky, noisy, scary shoes.’
Her footwear has become a signature part of her Traitors look.
The Saint Laurent boots Claudia wore throughout the first four civilian series cost a staggering £975.
