The Celebrity Traitors, which premiered in October 2025, is a spin-off of the hugely popular reality game show hosted by Claudia Winkleman and it launched on BBC One in 2022.

The show is filmed at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands and features a social deduction game.

A group of contestants are secretly divided into ‘Faithfuls’ and ‘Traitors’, with the Traitors tasked with eliminating other contestants each night while avoiding detection.

Unlike the main series, celebrity players compete on behalf of charities of their choice.

The first celebrity series was won by comedian Alan Carr, who played as a Traitor.

The BAFTA-nominated actor has previously appeared in Game of Thrones and Horrible Histories: The Movie.

Irish comedian Joanne McNally leads the betting at 6/1 with a 14.30 per cent probability, while singer James Blunt sits second at 13/2.

Other high-profile contestants include Bella Ramsey, Michael Sheen, Maya Jama, and comedian James Acaster.
