Celebrity Traitors is back on the BBC for its second series, with the first episode airing tonight, Thursday 1 October, at 8pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. The spin-off show Uncloaked will air straight after.
The show returns after a successful run last year, which saw Traitor Alan Carr crowned the first ever UK celebrity champion. Three Traitors were named from the offset last series – Alan, Cat Burns and Jonathan Ross. Cat made it all the way to the final, while Jonathan was booted out early, and Alan went on to win. Memorable moments included Alan giving his best friend Paloma Faith the kiss of death.

Claudia gives her verdict
Host Claudia Winkleman has insisted she is "too thick" to take part in the show, so is grateful she is back as host. Speaking ahead of the series, she said: "I'm too thick. I mustn't play it in public. I must not, thank you so much. I'm just being honest. I could have come up with a schmoozier (answer) but no."
She added: "It's a privilege to play that game and to be at the round table, but I think I would just be too awful at it."
