The BBC has sent a shockwave of excitement through the reality TV world by finally unveiling the premiere date for the star-studded edition of its breakout hit. 'The Celebrity Traitors' is set to launch on Wednesday, 3rd January at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer, promising a new level of deception and drama.
Hosted by the enigmatic Claudia Winkleman, the celebrity version will see 22 famous faces enter the Scottish castle, their allegiances already tested before a single lie is told. The newly released trailer hints at the high-stakes tension to come, with Winkleman ominously stating, "Some of you have history, some of you are friends, and some of you are enemies."
Who Are The Celebrity Traitors?
The lineup is a captivating mix of personalities from across the entertainment spectrum, ensuring fiery debates and unpredictable alliances. Viewers can expect to see:
- Diane Codfrey (The Chase)
- John Bercow (Former House of Commons Speaker)
- Harry Clark (Soccer AM)
- Ashley Banjo (Diversity star and TV presenter)
- Megahn Morris (TV personality)
- Ross Carson (Son of veteran broadcaster Gloria Hunniford and stepson of Don Keeling)
They will be joined by a host of other stars including actors, athletes, and reality icons, all vying for a chance to win a prize fund for themselves and their chosen charity.
The Ultimate Test of Trust and Treachery
The format remains the same ruthless game of strategy. The secretly appointed 'Traitors' will 'murder' contestants one by one each night, while the 'Faithful' must work together to uncover the deceit and banish the traitors before they are eliminated. With celebrities involved, the mind games and emotional manipulation are expected to reach unprecedented heights.
Following the overwhelming success of the first two civilian series, which became a national talking point and a major awards contender, the celebrity edition is poised to be the must-watch television event of the winter schedule. Will the famous faces be better at spotting a lie, or will their egos and pre-existing relationships be their ultimate downfall?
Mark your calendars for 3rd January and prepare for a masterclass in mystery and manipulation.
