Stephen Fry, Celia Imrie and Paloma Faith among Celebrity Traitors contestants
The charity spin-off sees 19 celebrities, who also include acclaimed actress Celia Imrie, comedian Alan Carr and singer Cat Burns, gather in the Scottish Highlands for the 'ultimate game of deceit and betrayal'.
Other stars joining the group at Ardross Castle are former England rugby player and podcaster Joe Marler, presenter Jonathan Ross, broadcaster Clare Balding and singer Paloma Faith.
Hosted by Strictly Come Dancing's Claudia Winkleman, the nine-part celebrity version will give contestants the chance to win a cash prize of up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.

Winkleman said: 'We're incredibly lucky these brilliant people have said yes.
'I'd love to say we'll take it easy on them and they'll just wander round the castle and eat toast for a couple of weeks, but that would be a lie.'
The game show follows contestants as they try to detect the traitors in the group while completing a series of challenges to win cash towards the prize pot.
If at the end of the series a traitor is among the finalists, the faithfuls lose out on the money and the traitor takes the full cash prize home.
EastEnders star Tameka Empson, Bafta award-winning film-maker and historian David Olusoga, and comedians Nick Mohammed and Joe Wilkinson are also part of the line-up.
Another cast member is influencer Niko Omilana, who has more than seven million subscribers on YouTube and millions more followers across other platforms.
He is best known for his prank-style videos, which include sneaking into the KSI v Logan Paul boxing rematch and attempting to get in the ring. In 2021 he got nearly 50,000 votes in the London mayoral election, coming fifth and being the top independent candidate.
Scottish actor and Shetland star Mark Bonnar, Irish actress and The Midnight Club's Ruth Codd, and comedian and TV star Lucy Beaumont complete the line-up.

The Traitors debuted in 2022 and has since picked up a Bafta TV Award for Best Reality & Constructed Factual programme as well as a Broadcasting Press Guild Award for Best Entertainment Programme.
The third and most recent series of The Traitors saw project manager Jake Brown and former soldier Leanne Quigley share the prize pot of £94,600.
– Celebrity Traitors will air on BBC One and iPlayer this autumn.

The Duchess of Edinburgh and Alan Titchmarsh (Andrew Matthews/PA) It adds: 'The Harmony philosophy sees everything in nature as interconnected, including ourselves. 'This means taking a holistic approach to the challenges facing our planet, and looking to solve these challenges by working with nature, rather than against her.'

I've dubbed Lilibet the ‘jigsaw girl', Meghan Markle's bizarre birthday photos shows exactly why, says expert
PRINCESS Lilibet has been hailed as a 'jigsaw girl' following her fourth birthday photo. On Wednesday, the daughter of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrated her birthday - with the duchess sharing two photos of the young tot. 7 Meghan Markle shared this photo of Princess Lilibet for her fourth birthday this week Credit: Instagram/Meghan 7 The Duke and Duchess of Sussex like to protect the privacy of Lilibet and Archie by concealing their faces Credit: Instagram 7 One of the only photos we've seen of Lilibet's face was her first birthday picture Credit: PA 7 On The Sun's Royal Exclusive show Charles Raw and Sarah Hewson spoke to host Bronte Coy, with Charles calling Lilibet a 'jigsaw girl' Credit: Supplied One showed Princess Lilibet as a newborn, while the second was a picture of Lilibet in the present day. However, both snaps showed a partial view of Princess Lilibet's face for privacy. Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, former Sun Royal Correspondent and author Charles Rae discussed the intimate post, with host Bronte Coy saying it showed 'almost Lilibet's whole face.' He said: 'I like your definition of almost the full face. 'I'm dubbing Lilibet the jigsaw girl because over the four years, all we've seen is an ankle, an arm, a bit of a nose, maybe a forehead.' He added: 'I'm all for them protecting their children. 'I've got no problems with that as well. 'But, you know, this sort of half bits of the child, it doesn't do anything for me.' Royal Correspondent Sarah Hewson pointed out that the last time we had a proper portrait of Lilibet was three years ago to mark her first birthday. She shared: 'Apart from that, we haven't really seen her face. We see the backs of them. Meghan shares rare video of Lilibet BEEKEEPING with pair in matching outfits 'We do know so little about Lilibet because they moved to California. 'They are very protective over their children's privacy and they have every right to do so. I'm dubbing Lilibet the jigsaw girl because over the four years, all we've seen is an ankle, an arm, a bit of a nose, maybe a forehead Charles Rae 'We know that their safety is a huge issue.' We last got a glimpse of Princess Lilibet in a little beekeeper suit, which was shared by mum Meghan on Instagram - but it was taken from behind. 7 Meghan recently shared this photo of Princess Lilibet in a beekeeping suit Credit: Instagram/meghan GUARDED FAMILY Bronte continued: 'They're releasing bits of the kids, but in a very guarded way still. 'But both Harry and Meghan have been accused in the past of hypocrisy in this area. 'As a parent, of course, I do understand it is completely a prerogative what you share of your children online. 'They have said things in the past about their privacy. 'And then now Meghan having launched her Instagram in January, she has been releasing more and more of the kids, which is her decision.' 7 Meghan shared this photo of Archie from behind for his birthday Credit: Instagram Sarah claimed it is 'fair play' what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex share on Instagram now that they are no longer senior working royals. The couple famously stepped down in 2020 and now live in the star-studded Montecito California, in a £12million mansion with Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four. Sarah added: 'With Harry and Meghan, of course, we'd all love to see more because we're really interested in those little children. 'But I think it's entirely fair that they say, 'you know what, it's on our terms'. 'And that's what this is, very much on their terms, Meghan on her own platform, the images they choose to curate.' KATE AND WILLS' VIEWS 7 The Prince and Princess of Wales recognise George, Charlotte and Louis 'play a public role', according to experts Credit: Getty She pointed out that Prince William and Princess Kate may have a different approach with their own kids, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven. The royal expert explained: 'I think with the Waleses, they recognise that their children are going to play a part in public life. 'And they are being funded by the public as well. 'And they are going to take on significant roles in the future of the country and the monarchy. 'And therefore they recognise that they need to share. 'But they're also quite careful about when they share those moments of their children's lives. 'And there are pretty stringent restrictions on what can be shown and what can't.' Charles agreed, saying: 'You know, their children are eventually going to be on the royal treadmill. 'But they are very cautious with the times that the children have access to the public, or the public have access to them.'
