“Stephen is a fan of the show and Claudia was desperate for him to be on it.
“No contracts have been signed yet – but he has told show bosses to name a time and date and he will be there.”
Others on Claudia’s wish list to film next year include Only Connect quiz presenter Victoria Coren Mitchell and actors Adam Woodyatt and Andrew Garfield.
