One of the most familiar faces from ITV's This Morning has sparked intense speculation about a potential appearance on the hit BBC show Celebrity Traitors, after sharing a video that fans are calling an 'audition'. Rylan Clark, the 37-year-old television presenter, took to Instagram on Thursday to post footage from a visit to The Traitors Live experience in London, igniting a wave of excitement among viewers.
A Birthday Treat with a Traitorous Twist
In the video, Rylan can be seen jumping for joy upon realising he was at the immersive Traitors attraction, captioning the post: 'A birthday treat that was anything but faithful… and was four months worth the wait.' He added, 'You all know there was only role I could have played in this game. What a gorgeous day with my friends and team, thanks for having us.'
From Faithful Claims to Traitor Confession
During the experience, Rylan passionately argued his case as a Faithful at the roundtable, stating: 'I'm Rylan and I think I would be a very good Faithful because I am very organised. I'm like a dog with a bone, I won’t give up and I will bite you all.' However, after tense accusations and laughter, he was eventually voted out by three friends and confessed: 'I was a Traitor.' Reflecting on the role, he said, 'That was amazing, I hated being a Traitor, it was so horrible.'
Fan Frenzy and Bookmaker Buzz
Fans of both Rylan and the popular gameshow format quickly flooded the comments section with calls for his inclusion in the celebrity version. Comments included: 'Can we have you in a traitors episode thank you please'; 'Ohh definitely got to do the celebrity version Rylan'; and 'I need to go to this. This means you are preparing for the real thing Rylan. Only a traitor would do such training for it lol.' One enthusiast even tagged the official Traitors account, urging: '@thetraitorsukofficial You need to get him on the next series.'
Unsurprisingly, bookmakers have already begun taking bets on potential contestants for the next Celebrity Traitors series. According to Ladbrokes, Rylan Clark holds odds of 6/1, placing him in a strong position. He is not the only This Morning presenter in contention; Alison Hammond also shares the same favourable odds of 6/1.
Odds and Contenders in the Spotlight
Other notable figures in the betting include comedian Joe Lycett, who leads with odds of 2/1, and documentary maker Louis Theroux at 3/1. On the less likely end of the spectrum, Brooklyn Beckham is priced at 7/1, following his widely publicised fallout with his parents. The Celebrity Traitors format has proven immensely successful, with its November edition attracting a staggering 11.1 million viewers to watch Alan Carr's unexpected victory.
The Traitors, available for streaming on BBC iPlayer, continues to captivate audiences with its blend of strategy and suspense. As speculation mounts, Rylan Clark's playful 'audition' has only fuelled anticipation for what could be a thrilling addition to the show's celebrity roster.
