Claudia Winkleman has traded The Traitors castle for Paddington station filming for the new series of The Piano - and looking more bronzed than ever.
The TV presenter was all smiles as she headed to the set in the London train station, chatting away to camera crew as they set up around her.
Claudia, 54, looked particularly sunkissed as she appeared in an all-black look, wrapping up warm in a peacoat, black trousers, and green fingerless gloves.
She sported her signature hairstyle and make-up look as she stood by the iconic piano that is at the heart of the Channel 4 series.
The talent show aims to discover the best amateur pianists around the country by inviting them to play publicly placed pianos in busy UK train stations.
The everyday musicians perform in front of a live crowd at the stations, including hostess Claudia, and are judged off-screen by Mika and pianist Jon Batiste.

The most compelling pianists are then selected to progress through the competition, before eventually performing in a live concert setting.
The series has run for three seasons, and has been nominated for awards including the BAFTAs Memorable Moment and the RTS Programme Award.
It comes after Claudia celebrated turning 54 with Jools Holland and singer Mika as she shared an update to Instagram on Thursday.
The Traitors host, who has returned to screens for the latest series of the BBC show, was joined by the duo in what appeared to be a train station.
Claudia captioned the update: '54 today. Celebrating with these legends' as she tagged both Mika and Jools.
Smiling for the snap, she wrapped up warm in black wool coat while posing in front of a piano.
Back in October it was confirmed that the series had been renewed for a fourth season expected to air later in the year.
The festive special of Channel 4 show had filming halted after a mass stabbing occurred on a train service from Doncaster to London Kings Cross.

Eleven people were hospitalised after the horrifying attack, with nine in life-threatening condition, which took place in November.
British Transport Police confirmed in the days after the incident that five of those injured are still in hospital, with one left 'critically unwell' from their injuries.
As a result of the attack, services in and out of London's Kings Cross station and north-east mainline trains were disrupted and cancelled, with a 'do not travel' notice issued by London North Eastern Railway.
Filming for the festive episode of The Piano was due to take place at Kings Cross - but 'heightened security' meant show bosses decided to shelve the special, according to The Sun.
Celebrity Traitors host Claudia, 53, was due to be joined by co-stars Jon Baptiste and Mika on the train station concourse to film for the Channel 4 series.
The one-hour Christmas special, which was last year filmed at London's St Pancras, was due to welcome a new batch of amateur musicians to perform.
Bosses felt making 'the cosy show in Kings Cross was considered inappropriate' after the attack on the train from Peterborough, according to the publication.
Meanwhile, Claudia is on screen for the current series of The Traitors which saw Harriet Tyce dramatically banished on Wednesday after she decided it was her turn to take on Traitor Rachel Duffy.

Harriet, 53, who just last week was the favourite to win the series, was sensationally voted off by her fellow players during the roundtable, making it clear that Rachel, 42, is currently untouchable.
Then, using her skills as a former barrister, Harriet laid out her evidence and claimed Rachel has been 'in character' since the blindfold came off at the first roundtable.
Just hours earlier, Harriet revealed her true identity, that she is a published author of several psychological thrillers and was once a criminal barrister.
But, to her surprise, Rachel had a secret of her own that appeared to get contestants on her side as she revealed she had been trained by a former FBI agent.
Harriet could see the discussion was not going in her favour, and she asked the group to vote her out so that she could prove her Faithful status, which they did.
Previous seasons of The Piano are currently available to stream on Channel 4
