Television personality Amanda Holden is reportedly a leading contender to join the cast of the upcoming second series of Celebrity Traitors, following in the successful footsteps of her close friend and comedian Alan Carr.
Following a Friend's Footsteps
Holden's potential involvement comes after Alan Carr's emotional and triumphant win on the first celebrity edition of the hit BBC reality show. Carr famously broke down in tears during the final round table before ultimately securing victory and winning £87,500 for the charity Neuroblastoma UK.
Sources suggest that while producers are keen to sign Holden, her packed schedule could present a significant hurdle. The Britain's Got Talent judge is committed to the ITV show's live semi-finals and her daily presenting slot on the Heart Breakfast radio show, which may complicate filming arrangements for the intense reality series.
A Star-Studded Rumoured Line-Up
Amanda Holden is not the only famous face linked to the new series. Insiders indicate that the production team is aiming for another high-profile cast. Other celebrities rumoured to be in discussions include former EastEnders star Danny Dyer, This Morning presenter Alison Hammond, and Mike Tindall, the former rugby player and member of the royal family through his marriage to Zara Tindall.
The show's format, which involves contestants working together on challenges while 'Traitors' among them secretly eliminate players, has proven to be a major ratings success. The celebrity version amplifies the drama with well-known personalities navigating the game of trust and deception.
When Can Viewers Expect the New Series?
Fans of the suspense-filled programme won't have to wait too much longer. The second series of Celebrity Traitors is scheduled to air in autumn, with filming expected to take place over the summer months. The BBC has yet to officially confirm the full cast, but speculation continues to build around which famous figures will next enter the iconic Scottish castle.
The success of the first series, highlighted by Alan Carr's heartfelt win, has set a high bar for entertainment and emotional payoff. Whether Amanda Holden can navigate the betrayals and alliances to potentially match her friend's achievement remains one of the most intriguing questions ahead of the new season.
