The BBC has unveiled the celebrity contestants for the upcoming second series of Celebrity Traitors, with Welsh actor Michael Sheen, EastEnders star Ross Kemp, and The Last Of Us actress Bella Ramsey among the famous faces heading to a Scottish castle.
Star-Studded Line-Up
The beloved reality game show will see 21 celebrities compete for a cash prize of up to £100,000 for their chosen charities. Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, the contestants—mostly known as faithfuls—must identify the traitors among them, who eliminate players each night.
Other confirmed participants include Industry actress Myha’la Herrold, model Jerry Hall, and Saltburn actor Richard E Grant. Comedians James Acaster, Joe Lycett, Romesh Ranganathan, Rob Beckett, and Joanne McNally will also join the fray.
Musicians and Presenters
Singer-songwriter James Blunt, former Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock, actress Miranda Hart, and Love Island presenter Maya Jama will also try to outwit the traitors. Coronation Street actress Julie Hesmondhalgh, broadcaster Amol Rajan, and Scottish actress Sharon Rooney complete the cast alongside mathematician Professor Hannah Fry, content creator King Kenny, and actor Sebastian Croft.

The debut series featured actors Celia Imrie and Nick Mohammed, singer Paloma Faith, author Sir Stephen Fry, broadcaster Jonathan Ross, and comedian Alan Carr, who won as a Traitor.
