Celebrity Traitors: Plot

Just like the original version of the game, Celebrity Traitors will see contestants compete in a castle to win money (this time, its for £100,000 for a charity of their choice), with some players secretly being “Traitors” tasked with getting out the “Faithfuls” without being caught.

Throughout the season, The Faithfuls must identify and banish the Traitors before they are all eliminated from the game. Expect deception, lies and mistrust from the famous faces we know and love!
