She said of the challenge,\u00a0\u201cI think it was scarier, because all I wanted to do was chat to them and make them like me. But of course, I have to be extremely unlikable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who are the contestants?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s an absolutely stellar line up with everyone from comedy staples like Alan Carr and Lucy Beaumount, to historian extraordinaire David Olusoga. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/rts.org.uk\/article\/bbc-reveals-celebrity-traitors-release-date-and-full-confirmed-cast\"><u>Meet all the contestants here.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Is that all?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well\u2026 that\u2019s up for debate. Rumours suggest a few more famous faces could join the cast later on. Past line-ups have included 22 contestants, but this one only has 19. Could producers be planning to introduce three more players, as they did with the caged twist in recent American and British series?<\/p>\n<p>Celebs who have been rumoured to join the cast late include Bob Mortimer, and\u2026 well it\u2019s only really Bob Mortimer. Courtney Cox was another name thrown around earlier this year, but the odds are stacked against her.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there a prize?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just like the regular series, the winning group of Traitors or Faithfuls will have a prize pot of anything up to \u00a3100,000 to split between them, but this time the money will go to a charity of their choosing, opposed to the contestants themselves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When is it on, what nights and how many weeks?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Celebrity Traitors will air twice a week on Wednesdays and Thursdays, starting at 9.00pm on BBC One and iPlayer. The series has nine total episodes with the first being an extended 70-minutes. This differs from the regular The Traitors series as they have 12 episodes and occur three times weekly.<\/p>\n<p>As for the finale, you\u2019ll have to make the tough choice between trick or treating and The Traitors, as all will be revealed on Halloween!<br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Watch The Celebrity Traitors from Wednesday 8 October at 9.00pm on BBC One and iPlayer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Celebrity Traitors | Official Trailer - BBC\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qEvRY6nwl6g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source rts.org.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re about to find out which British icons are great at lying and betraying their co-workers.
