A contestant who appeared on The Traitors<\/a> has called the celebrity version “pointless”. As a set of celebrities prepare to take on the ultimate game of deceit and deception, many have already voiced their opinion on the new series. During last week’s first episode, a major plot twist occurred as, instead of being taken to the Scottish castle, the cars took a detour, and the celebrities started the game by meeting Claudia Winkleman<\/a> at a graveyard. All contestants were ordered to dig their own graves, where shields were hidden under the mud. This time, there\u2019s more than just honour on the line: a \u00a3100,000 prize fund is up for grabs.<\/p>\n The winning Traitors<\/a>\u2014or Faithfuls, depending on how the game unfolds\u2014will split the cash, which will be donated to charities of their choice, adding a meaningful twist to the cloak-and-dagger competition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n However, one contestant who has been on the original series has slammed the celebrity version. Speaking to The Daily Star,<\/a> Zack Davies has hit out, saying the series is “pointless”.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cI appreciate it\u2019s for charity and it\u2019s just a bit of fun and it\u2019s not that serious. But it really makes me sick and leaves a bad taste in my mouth that something that\u2019s good has to have more famous people on it.<\/p>\n \u201cWhere is society going that everything has to have a celebrity edition? I don\u2019t care about these celebrities. It doesn\u2019t make any difference to me. It\u2019s totally f***ing pointless.\u201d<\/p>\n Express Online has contacted the BBC<\/a> for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Claudia Winkleman is hosting the hit psychological reality series once again. C<\/a>elebrities battle it out to uncover secret saboteurs in a high-stakes game of lies and loyalty.<\/p>\n The lineup includes Traitors superfan Stephen Fry<\/a>, Olympian Tom Daley, TV presenter Jonathan Ross, and Good Morning Britain<\/a> host Kate Garraway<\/a>. Comedian Joe Wilkinson will also be in the Scottish castle alongside singer Paloma Faith and Former England rugby player Joe Marler.<\/p>\n Line of Duty star Mark Bonnar, presenter Clare Balding, and singer Cat Burns will also appear.<\/p>\n
