Stormzy's fans have passionately pleaded with the rapper to secure a spot on the line-up for the second series of Celebrity Traitors, following his impressive performance at the immersive live experience in London. The game, which closely mimics the hit BBC show, involves up to 14 players competing either as allies or adversaries to reach the grand final.
Stormzy's Ruthless Gameplay on Display
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, the 32-year-old artist celebrated his cunning tactics, which included deceiving friends and even metaphorically "murdering" his sister in the ruthless game. Selected as a Traitor, Stormzy boldly declared, "I betrayed them all," before chanting "winner, winner" in triumph.
In his caption, he wrote: "The traitors live experience is tooooo lit oi we had the best time and yes I snaked all these fools. They're my friends but they're fools they got smoked it was so easy. Top traitor. Just finessed the whole s**t I'm very proud of myself. P.S the last slide is how I killed my sis Cass lmao buzzing. Love ya'll, bye!" (sic).
Fan Reactions and Casting Calls
Fans quickly flooded the comment section, urging the hitmaker to join the next series, hosted by Claudia Winkleman. Comments included: "get Stormzy on the REAL traitors NOWWWW" (sic); "You have to go on Celeb Traitors s2 now"; and "@chattyman would be proud"; with one adding, "The last slide tho!! Comedian!! Hahaha" (sic).
Last year's celebrity spin-off was a massive success, attracting 11 million viewers who watched Traitor Alan Carr win the prize money over Faithfuls Joe Marler, Nick Mohammed, and David Olusoga.
Rumoured Stars for the New Series
Angela Scanlon is the latest star rumoured to be in talks with bosses to join the new series. The 42-year-old presenter has become a target for a coveted spot on the show, thanks to her popularity on the BBC following appearances on Celebrity Apprentice and Strictly Come Dancing.
Angela, who recently stood in for Cat Deeley on This Morning, would join a long list of celebrities rumoured for the show, including Steve Pemberton, Richard E Grant, and Hugh Bonneville.
Behind-the-Scenes Negotiations
A source previously told The Sun: "The BBC are big fans of hers and are keen to secure her as one of their key talents. Celebrity Traitors would be the perfect fit for Angela. She's clever, mischievous and isn't afraid of causing a stir."
Negotiations with talent are reportedly ongoing, with contracts often signed just days before the show begins. Daily Mail has contacted representatives for the BBC and Angela Scanlon for comment.
Angela herself has confessed to being a huge Traitors fan, admitting she was "obsessed to an unhealthy degree" with the civilian series' fourth run last month.
Expanding the Celebrity Roster
So far, a diverse array of names has been rumoured for Celebrity Traitors' second run, including Ruth Jones, David Mitchell, Steve Pemberton, Alison Hammond, and Jamie Oliver. This highlights the show's growing appeal and the intense competition for spots among high-profile figures.
As fans eagerly await official announcements, Stormzy's dominant performance at the live experience has only heightened excitement and speculation about potential cast members for the upcoming series.
