First look at series three of The Great British Sewing Bee

We would definitely go drinking and dancing with Claudia Winkleman. In need of a little style advice, a bit of a giggle or help styling a fringe? The Strictly Come Dancing host should be the first person you call. But we're not entirely sure about having her around if you ever attempt to sew hems or attach buttons in a strict time frame...

We might still be months away from the Bake Off returning to our screens – Mary Berry tells us the applications are only just coming in – but BBC2's Sewing Bee is poised to bring us more Great British things. As well as host Winkleman, who is clearly enjoying her role, yelling and grinning evilly over the shoulders of the flustered contestants.
