The BBC has unveiled the glittering lineup for its highly anticipated Celebrity Traitors special, bringing together an eclectic mix of famous faces ready to compete in the ultimate game of deception and strategy.
Star-Studded Deception
Leading the celebrity contingent is Brit Award-winning singer-songwriter Cat Burns, whose soulful vocals will now be tested against the psychological challenges of the Traitors game. Joining her is comedy powerhouse Alan Carr, known for his sharp wit and infectious humour, though whether these traits will help or hinder his game remains to be seen.
The Complete Celebrity Roster
The full celebrity cast includes:
- Ashley Banjo - Diversity dance sensation and television presenter
- Diane Carson - The Traitors' own beloved Scottish contestant making a surprise return
- Harry Clarke - The original Traitors winner back for another shot at glory
- Chris McCausland - Comedian and Strictly Come Dancing favourite
- John Robins - Radio presenter and comedian
- Meg Bellamy - Rising star from The Crown
- Mollie Pearce - Another original Traitors fan favourite returning to the castle
- Sonja Jade - Original Traitors contestant completing the returning players trio
- Tracey Emin - Celebrated artist adding creative flair to the competition
What to Expect
This special edition will follow the same format that made The Traitors a cultural phenomenon. Celebrities will work together on challenges to build a prize fund, while secretly among them lurk the Traitors, eliminating players one by one. The faithful must identify the deceivers before it's too late.
Filmed at the same atmospheric Scottish castle that hosted previous seasons, the show promises even more dramatic roundtable discussions and tense moments as these famous personalities navigate the complex web of lies and alliances.
Broadcast Details
While an exact air date hasn't been confirmed, the celebrity special is expected to hit BBC screens later this year, serving as the perfect appetizer before the main third series begins filming. Both the celebrity edition and the upcoming regular season will be available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
The announcement has generated significant excitement among fans, particularly with the inclusion of both fresh celebrity faces and beloved returning contestants from previous seasons, creating an intriguing dynamic that promises to deliver must-watch television.
