Claudia revealed she's used gravy to achieve her golden glow

Now Strictly has been and gone, the nation is hooked on the latest series of BBC's The Traitors which is back on TV for a second season. The nail-biting series is packed full of suspense and drama, all fronted by host Claudia Winkleman.

Aside from watching the contestants dig out the Traitors - people have been unable to take their eyes of the presenter's style.

Fans have swooned over Claudia's outfits from her signature black leggings and ankle boots to black capes and red leather gloves. She's even thrown a chic kilt into the mix. But one of her more unusual beauty habits has left people baffled.

Many people love having a beautiful bronzed glow, and there are hundreds of different fake tan products available to achieve your desired look. But Claudia has revealed that she will happily reach for a cup of Bisto granules to fake tan with. Yes, Bisto as in Bisto gravy granules.

Step aside regular self tanning mousse - the 51-year-old star shared that she will use "anything" to get a tan. In an interview with online fashion magazine Sheer Luxe, Claudia was speaking about her favourite self tanning products, where she said she'd used everything from gravy granules to used tea bags.

When asked what tan she used, Claudia candidly replied: "I will use anything. I have used Bisto granules. I have used old tea bags." After revealing her go-to home remedies, she named her favourite shop bought tanner. "I'll tell you my favourite, Dr Dennis Gross," and hailed the brand's tanning past as the best.

The snippet of the interview was posted as a TikTok video on Sheer Luxe's page, and it has definitely got people talking. It's been viewed by nearly 500,000 people and has racked up over 17,000 likes. The comments were flooded with Claudia's fans saying they were 'obsessed; with the admission, and while it is a rather unusual way to give yourself a false tan, one TikToker joked: "I trust Claudia's judgement."
