The Celebrity Traitors Season 2 Cast Announced
The RTS and BAFTA Craft Award-winning The Celebrity Traitors will return to BBC One and iPlayer later this year with its biggest celebrity cast to date.
Made by Studio Lambert Scotland, The Celebrity Traitors will see twenty-one famous faces head to The Traitors castle, ready to play the ultimate game of deception and betrayal in the hope of winning a cash prize of up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.
Host Claudia Winkleman will welcome an exciting and eclectic mix of people and personalities. Ranging from BAFTA and BRIT award winners, through to social media stars, plus some of the UK’s most cherished actors, comedians, presenters, and beyond.
