Credit: Getty The line-up is mostly comprised of stars who have never delved into the world of reality TV before albeit for one or two exceptions. Stephen Fry, Tom Daley, Clare Balding, Paloma Faith and Kate Garraway lead the line-up of contestants but some fans think there are still more to come. The Sun confirmed the 19 celebrities who would be entering the castle on Day 1 but eagle-eyed fans have insisted there needs to be 22 players for the show and have speculated they could arrive later on into the game. Moreover, they think they have also worked out the stars hiding in plain sight from the line-up. One star that fans think could be making an appearance is comedian, Bob Mortimer. The TV favourite was heavily rumoured to be taking part in the show but when his name failed to materialise on the line-up, fans have now been left convinced he could rock up as a later arrival. Writing on Reddit, one fan said: "I wouldn't be surprised if someone like Bob Mortimer was introduced late on, once the others have arrived at the castle." As another echoed: "They should just chuck him a wild card, so nobody actually knows what he's doing!" Elsewhere, fans think that The Traitors spin-off show host Ed Gamble could also be taking part in the game. The comedian took a mystery two-week break from his Radio X show for the exact same weeks that filming for the reality TV show took place in Scotland sparking some speculation he could secretly be a part of the cast. Celebrity Traitors 2025: Meet the Full Cast Line-up One theorised: "I have very strong suspicions that Ed Gamble is the missing cast member." As another jumped in to point out: "He's was missing from his Radio X show for 2 weeks with no mention of holidays (which is usually a big topic) and just some vague mention of "doing another thing'. So Traitors was my first thought. "He was mysteriously absent the last week of April and first week of May and then back doing the show on Sunday 11th. They had a planned stand in trailed in advance so it wasn't like a sudden illness either." Whilst another name suggested is RuPaul's Drag Race UK star Tayce. 7 Speculation is rife that Drag Race UK star Tayce could be another latecomer Credit: BBC 7 A first-look trailer saw the celeb portraits for the first time Credit: BBC Fans were left surprised to see the BBC competition show's stars had seemingly been snubbed from the programme but could last year's Strictly Xmas special winner Tayce be entering the castle late? One fan quipped before suggesting Tayce: "[The] Lack of UK Drag Race queens is disappointing." The 19 stars who will be starting the show are formed of actor Stephen Fry, comedian Alan Carr, Ted Lasso star Nick Mohammed, Olympian Tom Daley and rugby ace, Joe Marler. They will be joined by historian David Olusoga, YouTube star Niko Omilana, Line of Duty actor Mark Bonner, talk show host Jonathan Ross and comedian Joe Wilkinson. TV presenter Clare Balding, comedy star Lucy Beaumont, Brit Award-winning singer Paloma Faith, Netflix actress Ruth Codd and EastEnders legend Tameka Empson will also be hoping to win the £100,000 cash prize for charity. Completing the line-up are legendary actress Celia Imrie, singer Charlotte Church, Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway and popstar, Cat Burns. 7 Tom Daley is on the cast this year Credit: Getty

Celebrity Traitors filming in chaos as ‘Trojan Horse' challenge set in ancient Greece disrupted by public
THE Celebrity Traitors stars get off their high horse for a challenge set in ancient Greece. They were filming the BBC show in the Scottish Highlands with what looked like a Trojan horse. 4 From left: Cat Burns, Joe Marler, Joe Wilkinson, Nick Mohammed, Tom Daley, Lucy Beaumont, Clare Balding, Paloma Faith, Mark Bonnar and David Olusoga 4 From left on the set: Stephen Fry, Charlotte Church and Kate Garraway Credit: Click News and Media 4 Show host Claudia Winkleman Credit: Click News and Media 4 The Trojan horse on the Celeb Traitors set Credit: Click News and Media But producers' bid to recreate Greece in 700BC was shattered by members of the public. An insider said: 'Because of Scotland's liberal right-to-roam policies there were quite a number of ramblers and cyclists whizzing past in the background. 'So while they were trying to recreate Greece of 2,700 years ago, someone would suddenly appear in a bobble hat or Lycra and they'd have to start rolling the cameras again. 'Thankfully it didn't cause too much of a headache and most people saw the funny side of it.'

An insider said: 'The BBC aren't taking any chances with the contestants — even though they're household names. 'They are all holed up in a hotel together but they are being kept apart with a security guard on their floor at all times to make sure they're not swapping tactics or talking. Most read in News TV 'In the normal series of The Traitors, the contestants' phones are removed and there have been no special measures put in place for the celebs. 'Some of them moaned about not having their phones but the BBC need to be sure they're not messaging or communicating on social media — so it's a total ban. GMB star Kate Garraway signs for BBC's The Traitors and will start filming next month 'Instead the BBC have a production phone for the celebs which they can use to make a phone call home, but a member of staff is never far behind. 'The BBC want this series to be as explosive as ever, so they won't allow any collusion.' The Traitors has been a runaway ratings hit for the BBC, with an average of 5.4 million people watching the first series in 2022. On the celebrity version, the contestants will navigate their way through a series of challenges — while also trying to work out who is a Traitor among the Faithfuls. The winner is either the Traitor who remains undetected or the Faithful if they eliminate opponents.
