Death in Paradise star Ben Miller has addressed swirling rumours that he will appear on the upcoming second series of Celebrity Traitors, shutting down speculation during a live appearance on Good Morning Britain.
Ben Miller's Appearance on Good Morning Britain
The actor, best known for playing DI Richard Poole in the long-running BBC crime drama, appeared on the ITV breakfast show on Wednesday, April 22, alongside hosts Ed Balls and Susanna Reid, as well as entertainment reporter Richard Arnold. Miller was originally there to discuss his new children's book, but it was not long before the conversation turned to the Celebrity Traitors rumours.
Traitor or Faithful?
Richard Arnold pressed Miller on the speculation, asking: “Before I let you go.. Traitor or faithful? You're one of the many names in the mix and I know filming starts in Scotland.” Miller responded by shutting down the rumours, saying: “I would love to do it. I haven't been invited.. Spoiler. I would be a faithful, I don’t know how anyone could be a…”
Arnold, seemingly unconvinced, interjected: “That’s what they all say.” Miller then teased: “Maybe I am just saying that, right?” Arnold quipped back: “Oh ok, right. There we go, maybe we can’t trust caramel coloured jacket as much as we thought we could.”
Celebrity Traitors Future
The BBC recently secured a major new deal for both The Traitors and Celebrity Traitors, ensuring the franchise remains on screens until at least 2030. The first celebrity edition, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, featured stars such as Clare Balding, Tom Daley, Kate Garraway, Paloma Faith, and Sir Stephen Fry. The traitors—Jonathan Ross, Cat Burns, and Alan Carr—proved formidable, murdering their fellow contestants one by one. In the end, Alan Carr emerged victorious, taking home £87,500 and making TV history.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV1 and ITVX.
