Tom Daley says getting to know people on Celebrity Traitors felt ‘very intense'
Retired diver Tom Daley has opened up about his time filming The Celebrity Traitors and said he got to know his fellow contestants on a 'much deeper' and 'very intense level' as they were all shut off from the world. The forthcoming BBC show, a charity spin-off of The Traitors, will see 19 famous faces – who include comedian Alan Carr and actor and broadcaster Stephen Fry – gather in the Scottish Highlands for the 'ultimate game of deceit and betrayal'. Advertisement Speaking about The Celebrity Traitors at a special screening for his new documentary, the Olympian told the PA news agency: 'I'm not sure when it comes out, maybe later this year, but it was a very fun experience.

'All I can say is, it was very fun – the cast and meeting the other people. 'It was great to see everybody and get to know everyone on a much deeper level, and very intense level, because you're completely shut off from the rest of the world. So yeah, it was fun.' Advertisement Hosted by Strictly Come Dancing's Claudia Winkleman, the nine-part celebrity version, airing in the autumn, will give contestants the chance to win a cash prize of up to £100,000 (€118,000) for a charity of their choice. Daley, 31, also appears in the new Discovery+ documentary, Tom Daley: 1.6 Seconds, which features personal family films and candid interviews with the athlete and those closest to him, including his husband, Oscar-winning screenwriter, Dustin Lance Black. The 90-minute documentary, the name of which references the time between platform exit and pool entry, charts Daley's career, from the build-up to his first Olympics in Beijing 2008 to post-retirement life. He told PA: 'This documentary is a very vulnerable side to me, like diving into topics that I may not have talked about in such depth before, and it might give people a different perspective of what was actually going on versus what they saw in the media. Advertisement View this post on Instagram A post shared by discovery+ UK (@discoveryplusuk) 'Because growing up is already kind of pretty tough, but then growing up under media scrutiny and having people already having a conception of who you are and how you should deal with things was pretty challenging. 'But then also diving into the archival footage that my dad had seen. For me, it's like hearing my dad's voice that really makes me quite emotional in the documentary. 'I just feel very grateful that I do have this documentary to be able to look back on, and for my kids to be able to see and have those moments kind of made eternal, if you like, with my dad and myself.' Daley's father died from cancer in 2011, meaning he missed seeing the diver secure his first Olympic medal, a bronze, at the London Games in 2012. Advertisement The diver, who secured his fifth Olympic medal in 2024, announced his retirement from diving following the Paris Games. – Tom Daley: 1.6 Seconds premieres on Discovery+ in the UK and Ireland on June 1st.

In the video, celebrity photographer Ash explained: "Last week I asked you if you wanted to see a page of the Traitors script." He then proceeded to show his fans a blurry copy of the script. He continued: "I was read the riot act, I was handed what they call a cease and desist by the production company, they claimed I was breaching their data protection and privacy by being in a public place taking pictures of them filming. "Potentially they wanted me to leave so they could carry on filming in secret. "I've never dealt with a production company so angry that I was there, it was unreal "To be honest, the video that I put up was in a bitter attempt that they might see it and just leave me alone because studio Lambeth really did make me feel that I shouldn't be there." The snapper said he refused to leave and found the whole experience unpleasant. Despite some difficulty, he admitted he would be returning to shoot Traitors but has not plans to "rush back". BBC confirms full Celebrity Traitors line up in first look picture & reveals when it'll hit screens A Studio Lambert spokesperson said 'No one wants to ruin such a popular show, loved for its surprises, by having photos released which give away storylines. The producers will always put viewers' enjoyment of the series first and guard against spoilers.' It comes after filming was disrupted this week during one of the challenge. They were filming the BBC show in the Scottish Highlands with what looked like a Trojan horse. 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.' The 19 celebs on the show, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, include Stephen Fry, Charlotte Church, Kate Garraway, Jonathan Ross and Celia Imrie. They have all had to hand over their phones to crew to prevent them from discussing game plans on the show, expected to air in October. 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. '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. '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.'
