"Celebrity Traitors" Has Confirmed Its Full Line-Up
The Traitors bosses have finally confirmed the line-up for the show's first ever celebrity outing. Rumours about the famous contestants have been circulating ever since the show was first announced to be in the works over the summer, with the tabloid press publishing a supposed 'leaked' list of contestants when filming got underway in April. On Tuesday evening, the BBC revealed that this list was pretty much spot-on (albeit with one disappointing omission in the form of Bob Mortimer, who had previously been tipped to be taking part). The 19 contestants on the line-up are: Alan Carr (comedian) Cat Burns (singer-songwriter) Celia Imrie (actor) Charlotte Church (singer-songwriter) Clare Bading (sports broadcaster) David Olusoga (historian) Joe Marler (former rugby pro) Joe Wilkinson (comedian) Jonathan Ross (presenter) Kate Garraway (presenter) Lucy Beamont (comedian) Mark Bonnar (actor) Nick Mohammed (actor and comedian) Niko Omilana (influencer) Paloma Faith (singer-songwriter) Ruth Codd (actor) Stephen Fry (actor and presenter) Tameka Empson (actor) Tom Daley (retired Olympic diver) Now, one question we've always had about the proposed Celebrity Traitors is exactly how seriously the famous contestants would be taking the game, if there wasn't a cash prize on the line. However, it's now been revealed that the famous Traitors and Faithfuls will be playing the game in the hopes of winning a share of a potential £100K cash prize for a charity of their choice – all under the watchful (and heavily made up) eye of Claudia Winkleman. Claudia 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.' A specific airdate is yet to be confirmed, although Celebrity Traitors will air on the BBC in the autumn, ahead of the regular series' return in its usual January timeslot.
