Edinburgh Designer Celebrates TV Debut on The Celebrity Traitors
An Edinburgh-based fashion designer, Judy R Clark, expressed her excitement after her designs were featured on the popular BBC show The Celebrity Traitors. The presenter, Claudia Winkleman, wore a distinctive black puff-sleeve knitted jumper and tank top designed by Clark during a recent episode that aired on 10 October 2026.
Clark, who is also a fan of the show alongside her two children, indicated her anticipation leading up to the episode, stating she felt it would be a special moment to celebrate. She remarked, “When she’s on we’ll maybe get a bottle of champers out and celebrate, it’ll be lovely.” Clark highlighted the importance of independent, female-led fashion, appreciating the support from the show’s team.
The designer, who operates out of her studio in Abbeymount, Edinburgh, draws upon traditional Scottish materials for her pieces. She crafts each item in Scotland, incorporating elements such as Scottish lace, wool from the Scottish Borders, and Harris Tweed from the Western Isles. “Combining all those elements together is really part of my brand, being able to produce something that’s made in Scotland and using British and Scottish fabrics,” she explained.
In a playful comment regarding her potential future involvement in the programme, Clark said, “I would be a traitor. It’s much more fun.”
Judy’s feature on The Celebrity Traitors follows a previous collaboration between Scottish designer Siobhan Mackenzie and the show, where Mackenzie crafted a custom tartan kilt for actor Alan Cumming. The current UK edition of The Celebrity Traitors features a star-studded cast, with Winkleman presenting from a castle set against the backdrop of the Scottish Highlands.
The latest episode showcased dramatic moments as tensions rose amongst contestants, including a shocking elimination of actor Bella Ramsey during the night. The next episode is scheduled to air on Thursday, 15 October 2026, at 8pm.
