Joe Lycett has revealed the strict rules placed on the cast of Celebrity Traitors series two. The comedian read out an email from the show’s publicists while appearing on the podcast Joe Marler Will See You Now, hosted by series one star Joe Marler.
NDAs and Suggested Responses
Lycett explained that he had “signed NDAs all over the place” and was not allowed to discuss the show in detail. He read from an email that stated: “In an ideal world, nothing would be said at all, but of course this may not be realistic given how much attention there will inevitably be.”
The email provided suggested responses, such as: “Well, as you can imagine, I can’t say anything, but I am excited. I loved the first series, so it’s the dream to be in that castle.” Another suggestion was: “Thrilled to be involved. Can’t tell you anything more at this stage.”
Topics to Avoid
Lycett also revealed the “do not mention” portion of the email, which instructed contestants not to “reference the rest of the line-up or other players, say whether you’d prefer to be a Traitor or a Faithful, describe how you would play the game, mention timelines of filming or locations, etc.”
During the podcast, Marler and co-host Jake Bhardwaj role-played the suggested answers, with Lycett repeating the approved lines when asked about his experience. The second series of Celebrity Traitors, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, will air later this year.
