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.

I starred in one of the nineties' biggest TV shows but ditched fame for a completely different job - I've been through hell but I don't regret it
This Life hit our screens in 1996 on BBC Two and went on to become a huge fan favourite. The TV drama, created by Amy Jenkins, went on to have two series which broadcast between 996 and 1997. It followed the lives of five law graduates trying to navigate their lives after university, played by Amita Dhiri, Jack Davenport, Andrew Lincoln, Jason Hughes and Daniela Nardini. Some of the star-studded cast decided to stick with their acting, but Daniela ended up doing something totally different. Scottish actress Daniela played Anna Forbes in the hit show and went on to receive a BAFTA for Best Actress in 1998. She reprised her role for the TV movie This Life +10 in 2006 to celebrate the show's 10 year anniversary. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. After This Life, Daniela landed roles in the likes of Quite Ugly One Morning, Sirens, Lewis, Vera and Waterloo Road. But nowadays she is doing something very different. Daniela is now a qualified and practicing psychotherapist. She also has her own CBT practice in Glasgow, Scotland. Her profile on Psychology Today reads: 'I have worked as an actress for over 35 years. 'This has been an invaluable education for me to study what it is to be human and how we can all suffer at times and feel misunderstood and lonely. 'I myself have struggled at times. 'My practice involves helping you gain insight, clarity and believe it or not humour at times. 'I don't shock easily so I won't judge.' It adds: 'I can help firstly by listening to you. 'Often we feel unheard or feel shame because we are struggling. 'I am here to listen without judgement and to offer you compassion and kindness. 'Together we can work out a plan that will help you feel more in control and able to make the changes you want to happen as well as working at your own pace. ' Her types of therapy include acceptance and commitment, cognitive behavioural, compassion focused, creative therapy, person-centered and positive psychology. Daniela's top specialties include depression, anxiety and behavioural issues, and has expertise in addiction, cancer, divorce, family conflict and parenting. The actress can use the tough times in her life to resonate with others after losing her father in 2015, followed by a divorce and a cancer diagnosis in 2018. Back in 2020 Daniela opened up to us about the 'worst five years of her life'. She said: 'I went through a very dark period. 'Sometimes I wonder if it was all the emotional stuff I was going through that caused my cancer. 'A couple of years down the road, I now feel as if I've emerged stronger and a better person really. 'Anna would be proud.' Speaking about This Life, she added: 'I love that people still enjoy the series. 'But This Life feels like another life now. It was very exciting and intoxicating at the time. 'We all got quite famous through it, quickly, which was a shock and a little bit terrifying. 'I don't miss any of it though. 'I'm glad I experienced it but I don't crave it. What I do crave is good work. It's quite hard to find work that excites you and speaks to you.

LadBaby admit they used to live on £20 a week as they open up about 'tough' past before bagging FIVE number one singles
LadBaby 's Roxanne Hoyle has opened up on the 'deepest, darkest moments' she and husband Mark endured before they shot to fame, including living on just £20 a week. Roxanne, 41, and Mark, 38, celebrate 10 years of marriage this year after a decade which saw them go from a normal happy couple to some of the most successful social media stars in the country. It all started with Mark making parody songs on his new YouTube channel around 2016, and within just two years the duo had managed to bag the top spot on the UK Singles Chart with We Built This City (On Sausage Rolls). The comedians come musicians amazingly secured number ones in each of the proceeding five years with playful remixes of famous songs - including I Love Sausage Rolls in 2019 and Don't Stop Me Eating in 2021. After years of success, the couple now boast more than a million followers each on Instagram and over a million subscribers on YouTube. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. But it certainly wasn't all plain sailing for the two members of LadBaby before all their success. In a new interview with New Magazine, Roxanne - better known as LadBaby mum - revealed she and Mark used to live on £20 a week when they first moved in together. 'Well, we met over cocktails in London and fell in love - cheesy but true,' she said. 'When we got pregnant with our first, Mark worked a couple of jobs and I stayed home. We literally had £20 a week to live on - it was joyful, but it was so hard. 'That's why we'll never forget where we came from. That's why we give back, support food banks and do what we do now.' Mark and Roxanne share two sons together - nine-year-old Phoenix and seven-year-old Kobe who have lived through their success. But - as many a celebrity has - LadBaby have struggled with their fair share of online trolls. Roxanne told new! Magazine that even when 'trying to do something nice like a charity song with Ed Sheeran and Elton John', she and her husband have been trolled. The 41-year-old previously revealed that LadBaby first received backlash after unfounded allegations were spread online that they were pocketing money they raised for the Trussell Trust. They received thousands of abusive messages online along with threats in public with Mr Hoyle being confronted in a pub and having to be escorted to safety by bouncers. And after Mark refused to tell The Guardian the couple's political preference in a 2019 interview, they were attacked for being 'Tories'. The abuse became so severe that Mark started to suffer from panic attacks. The police took the case seriously and anti-terror officers were assigned to advise the couple at their home. 'I don't think people realise the impact of that level of trolling, where the police came to support us through that time,' Roxanne said. Most severely, in 2022 the couple were rocked by a video circulating on social media allegedly showing Mark hugging and rubbing up against an unknown woman in a Nottingham nightclub. An 18-second video of the incident had been sent to Mark and Roxanne along with a demand for £10,000 to prevent it from being released. The couple ignored the message hoping the blackmail was just a hoax, but months later the clip was widely shared online. There is no suggestion the touching in the video is non-consensual and the clip was later deleted from TikTok for violating its content terms. In their new memoir - Our LadBaby Journey: Success, Sacrifice and Sausage Rolls - the couple opened up about the reality of getting through the situation. Ahead of the book's release, Mark told The Guardian: 'We were lucky we had each other – that's what we've always said about LadBaby, the good and the bad.' And as the couple celebrate a decade of marriage, Roxanne said they're still 'best mates' having 'been through so much and come out stronger'.

I wed a Nigerian toyboy 43 years my junior – people think I'm ‘crazy', call me his ‘grandma' & say he's with me for cash
AGE RAGE I wed a Nigerian toyboy 43 years my junior – people think I'm 'crazy', call me his 'grandma' & say he's with me for cash Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A 68-YEAR-OLD woman has revealed that she said 'I Do' with her Nigerian toyboy, who is 43 years her junior. When Kay, 68, and Ablack, 25, first connected on Facebook, they had no idea that a simple social media like would lead to marriage. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 An age gap couple have candidly opened up about their unique relationship, which started from a Facebook like Credit: Instagram/@ab_ablack2 4 Ablack, 25, proposed to Kay, 68, just three days after meeting and he is now her fourth husband Credit: Instagram/@ab_ablack2 4 But Kay's toyboy has been accused of being with her for money and a Visa Credit: YouTube/Truly 4 Despite this, Kay claimed that she has "never felt love like this before" Credit: YouTube/Truly But now, the couple have opened up on their unique relationship and explained how just three days after meeting in real life, Kay's toyboy popped the question. Revealing all to Truly, on an episode of Love Don't Judge, the couple admitted that they are constantly stared at in the street and Kay has even been accused of being Ablack's 'grandma'. Opening up about how their relationship first blossomed, Kay recognised: "He liked something I posted. He went from somebody who liked my post to my very best friend, I could tell him everything. It just kept getting stronger and stronger." After three failed marriages, Kay was initially 'very leery about being scammed' by the youngster. Not only was the mother called 'crazy' by many, but before long, the couple had tied the knot, with Ablack being Kay's fourth husband. Despite falling in love, the couple constantly face judgement over their age gap, with Kay being 43 years older than Ablack. But Kay beamed: 'I do not feel old when I'm around him. I feel very young, like a teenager.' With Ablack based in Nigeria and Kay over in the US, the pair have had to make the relationship work with the geographical distance. However, Ablack knows that the pair are destined to be, as he acknowledged: "A prophet told me that I'm going to get married to a white woman and here she is.' But although destiny brought them together, not everyone agrees with their relationship, as Ablack said, "Some people say, 'she's old enough to be your mum'. Some say, 'you're married to your grandma', 'she's too old for you'. I'm 20 and my man is 63 - people say he looks like Shrek and I must be in it for the money, but I'd still love him if he was a cleaner 'Anywhere we go, people take pictures of us.' Not only this, but people have even accused Ablack of getting 'married for a US green card'. Be careful girl. Scammers can be 'in love' too! YouTube user Clearly unfazed by the judgement, Kay, who is often referred to as Ablack's 'sugar mummy', said: "I've never felt love like this before. "This is the one I'm supposed to be with, I just had to wait a long time for him to be born. 'He treats me like a Queen. I'm his priority.' A-list age gap relationships that have stood the test of time Kris Jenner & Corey Gamble - 25 years The Kardashian matriarch, 69, met her younger man, 44, at a mutual friend's 40th birthday party in Ibiza. They've been together since August 2014. Sam & Aaron Taylor-Johnson - 23 years The director, 57, and actor, 34, reportedly met at a film audition in 2009, and were married by 2012. The pair share two daughters and Sam has two children from a previous marriage. Rosie-Huntington-Whiteley & Jason Statham - 20 years The model, 37, started dating actor Jason, 57, in 2010. They were wed in 2016 and have since welcomed a son and a daughter together. Catherine Zeta-Jones & Michael Douglas - 25 years Catherine, 55, was introduced to Michael, 80, a film festival in 1996 and engaged three years later. Shortly after their engagement, the couple welcomed a son and married in 2000. Social media users react Social media users were left stunned by the couple's age gap relationship - and nasty trolls were out in full force in the comments on the YouTube clip. One person said: 'As a middle aged woman who's probably close to her age, this makes me uncomfortable.' This is the one I'm supposed to be with, I just had to wait a long time for him to be born Kay Another added: 'The prophet"s name is Visa.' A third warned: 'Be careful girl. Scammers can be 'in love' too!' At the same time, someone else wrote: 'Hope she has a lot of money to feed his whole family, why else would a 25 year old be with a woman in her 60s.'
