The BBC has officially confirmed the lineup for the second series of The Celebrity Traitors, hosted by Claudia Winkleman. The star-studded cast includes actors Richard E Grant, Michael Sheen, and Bella Ramsey, alongside comedian Miranda Hart and Love Island host Maya Jama.
Other notable contestants include Jerry Hall, former Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and singer-songwriter James Blunt. The 21 celebrities will head to a Highland castle to compete for a cash prize of up to £100,000 for their chosen charities.
The series will feature a strong comedic presence with James Acaster, Joe Lycett, Romesh Ranganathan, Rob Beckett, and Joanne McNally joining the lineup. Additional cast members include Coronation Street's Julie Hesmondhalgh, broadcaster Amol Rajan, and actor Sharon Rooney.
The first celebrity series, won by comedian Alan Carr, was a massive hit, attracting an average audience of 14.9 million viewers—the biggest TV audience of 2025. The finale peaked at 15.4 million viewers, with strong engagement among 16-24 year olds.
Following the success of The Traitors, Winkleman launched her own Friday night chatshow, which debuted in March to 1.5 million viewers. The franchise continues to expand with a stage adaptation set for London in 2027.
