Comedian Joanne McNally, Welsh actor Michael Sheen, and The Last Of Us star Bella Ramsey are among the famous faces confirmed for the upcoming series of Celebrity Traitors.
The beloved BBC reality game show will see 21 stars head to the Scottish castle in the Highlands for the chance to win a cash prize of up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.
Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, the game follows the celebrity contestants – the majority of whom are known as faithfuls – as they try to seek out the murderous traitors among them, who kill off players in the middle of the night.
