CELEBRITY TRAITORS: BBC CONFIRMS FAMOUS FACES ENTERING THE CASTLE FOR NEW SERIES THIS AUTUMN

Claudia Winkleman has opened the castle doors to an all-star cast who are ready to play the ultimate game of deceit and betrayal.

The multi-award-winning hit psychological game format The Traitors, presents a nine-part celebrity version, coming to BBC One and iPlayer this Autumn. The celebrities will play the ultimate game of detection, backstabbing and trust, in the hope of winning a cash prize up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.

Joining Claudia in the Scottish Highlands for The Celebrity Traitors are: comedian Alan Carr; singer/songwriter Cat Burns; actor Celia Imrie; singer Charlotte Church; broadcaster Clare Balding; historian David Olusoga; former rugby player Joe Marler; comedian Jo Wilkinson and presenter Jonathan Ross.

Plus broadcaster Kate Garraway; comedian Lucy Beaumont; actor Mark Bonnar; actor and comedian Nick Mohammed; content creator Niko Omilana; singer Paloma Faith; actor Ruth Codd; presenter and actor Stephen Fry; EastEnders star Tameka Empson and Olympic diver Tom Daley.

Since the series debuted on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in 2022, the show has established a 100% faithful audience. A breakout hit at series one, the show has seen phenomenal growth and the series three averaged at 10.3 million viewers across all 12 episodes with the launch episode reaching 10.9 million, making it the biggest unscripted series in the market (since ITV’s I’m a Celebrity in 2022) and the biggest unscripted series for 16-34s (2.3M), and with half of its viewing coming from iPlayer.

Claudia Winkleman says: “We’re incredibly lucky these brilliant people have said yes. I’d love to say we’ll take it easy on them and they’ll just wander round the castle and eat toast for a couple of weeks but that would be a lie.”

Transmission details will be announced in due course.
