Insider Tips and Dark Horses
Jonathan Ross, who was a Traitor last year, previously told Metro he spoke to Sheen before filming. ‘I spoke to quite a few of them before they went in. I had a brief chat with Michael Sheen,’ he revealed. Ross also had a ‘longer chat’ with Romesh Ranganathan, Rob Beckett and Maya Jama.
Defending champion Alan Carr has tipped Miranda Hart as his personal dark horse. ‘Do you know what? I’m super excited about Miranda Hart because Miranda reminds me a bit of me, and if they make her a Traitor, that is gonna be TV gold,’ he told Metro at the National Television Awards. Carr also warned viewers to watch Joanne McNally, predicting the Irish comedian will be a ‘whirlwind’.
