The BBC has revealed the full lineup of 21 celebrities participating in the second series of Celebrity Traitors.
It appears this year’s “big dogs” appearing to be Jerry Hall and Miranda Hart, or possibly Michael Sheen and Richard E Grant.
Filming for the programme, which takes place at the picturesque Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands, commences next week with participants expected to arrive this weekend.
The roster also includes University Challenge host Amol Rajan, The Last of Us star Bella Ramsey and comic James Acaster – not to be mistaken for Beautiful singer James Blunt, who will also be at the castle.
Additional participants comprise comedians Joanne McNally and Joe Lycett, former Coronation Street favourite Julie Hesmondhalgh and social media personality King Henry. Little Mix member Leigh-Anne Pinnock has joined alongside Love Island host Maya Jama, Industry star Myha’la and BBC science and mathematics expert Professor Hannah Fry.

Rob Beckett will provide entertainment with his television partner Romesh Ranganathan, accompanied by former EastEnder Ross Kemp and My Mad Fat Diary performer Sharon Rooney, plus musician and actor Sebastian Croft – recognised for portraying young Ned Stark in Game of Thrones, reports the Mirror.
When filming begins this weekend, the 21 contestants will be divided into Traitors and Faithfuls, after extensive discussions with host Claudia Winkleman and production staff.
From that moment on, their task will be to uncover which among them are making nocturnal trips to the turret draped in those greed hooded cloaks – ultimately determining which members of the remaining group face elimination.
Instead of pocketing any prize money for themselves, the celebrity contestants will once again be channelling all proceeds to their selected charities.
While currently in production, the series isn’t anticipated to broadcast on BBC1 until autumn, mirroring last year’s schedule when personalities including Sir Stephen Fry, Alan Carr, Paloma Faith, Charlotte Church and Jonathan Ross participated.

Alan emerged victorious, revealing himself as a Traitor in the final moments before breaking down in tears under the emotional weight of it all. That dramatic finale has since earned a nomination for the TV Moment of the Year award at next weekend’s BAFTAs.
Recent months have seen rampant conjecture regarding the 2026 line-up, with claims circulating that Danny Dyer, Ruth Jones, Liam Gallagher, Cheryl Tweedy and Peter Crouch would be joining the castle. Additional erroneous predictions have included Alison Hammond and Louis Theroux.
