The full line-up for Celebrity Traitors has been confirmed by the BBC and the first star-studded cast in the UK is set to be a corker.
Filming has now been completed for the nine-part season, which is set to air in autumn 2025 – a few months before we normally see the regular version of the show release.

“We’re incredibly lucky these brilliant people have said yes,” Claudia Winkleman said in the BBC announcement. “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.”
While the regular version of the show sees contestants vying for a cash prize for them and their families, the celebs will be using deception and game-play to win a cash prize up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.
It’s also recently been revealed that each cast member is receiving £40,000 each to take part, according to journalist Marina Hyde. Marina spoke about the cast’s fee with co-host Richard Osmond on The Rest Is Entertainment podcast saying, “…they were able to pay everybody a blanket £40K fee, right? I am spilling all my tea today. They’re paying them a £40K fee.”
So who’s going to be a faithful and who’ll be a traitor in this star-studded cast? There’s a crop of celebs to choose from in the 19th-century Scottish castle, from TV personalities like Alan Carr and Jonathan Ross to sports people like Tom Daley and professional England rugby player Joe Marler – who could be primed for the gameplay.
