One of the stars of Celebrity Traitors has spoken about the surprising rules they have to follow off camera.<\/p>\n

The hit show returns tonight with the celebrity spin-off of The Traitors<\/a> so far drawing in massive viewing figures.<\/p>\n

With over 6.5 million live viewers and 11,700,000 in total for the opening episode, Celebrity Traitors has been a huge success. There has been some controversy, however, with former contestant Ruth Codd claiming there was a \u2018hierarchy\u2019 among the celebs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whilst what happens to the celebrities<\/a> on screen is thrilling viewing however, many fans will be far more interested in what the BBC isn\u2019t showing.<\/p>\n

As viewers of the show will know, the celebrities don\u2019t actually sleep<\/a> in Ardross Castle where it is filmed and are kept in a hotel near to Inverness airport.<\/p>\n

In her new interview with <\/a>the Sunday Times, Ruth Codd revealed a further set of rules which the celebs have to keep to, even if they aren\u2019t on camera.<\/p>\n

How much are Celebrity Traitors contestants allowed to drink?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In a continuation of a rule which the \u2018civilian\u2019 version of The Traitors has, the celebs are kept to a strict limit of two alcoholic drinks per night.<\/p>\n

This appears to be less strict though than regular The Traitors in which contestants have said that drinks were only available on certain days and this was often cut off after the first round of drinks.<\/p>\n

The other rules which Codd revealed about Celebrity Traitors related to what they were allowed to do when the cameras were packed away.<\/p>\n

‘Bizarre’ rules on conversations<\/h2>\n

While back at the hotels the celebrities are strictly prevented from talking to one another and have to be chaperoned if they want to leave their room at any point.<\/p>\n

In addition to this their phones are confiscated and any phone calls to loved ones are made via a production phone.<\/p>\n

In a further interview with Luxury London<\/a>, Codd said of the rules: “Other than [filming], you don\u2019t see or hear from the other celebrities. You\u2019re not allowed to speak outside of the game or when you\u2019re not mic\u2019d, which is why the game is so good. There\u2019s really strict rules.<\/p>\n

“In the morning, before we get in the Land Rovers, you\u2019re put in a car with a group of [contestants] but they have a member of production sitting in with you and if anything to do with the game starts in conversation, you\u2019d be told you\u2019re not allowed to talk about that. It was bizarre.\u201d<\/p>\n

Niko Omilana<\/a> also spoke about how the roundtables are far more intense than the show is able to portray.<\/p>\n

Niko Omilana spoke about his experience on The Traitors on his Instagram story (Instagram \/ Niko Omilana)<\/p><\/div>\n

Speaking on his Instagram Story following his week one exit from the show, he said: \u201cOne thing which you guys didn\u2019t see was, that roundtable is the most intense thing<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve ever seen in my life. And, obviously, they have to cut it down for TV and make it shorter, but there were some people going crazy on me.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a recent Reddit<\/a> AMA Dr Kas from season three of The Traitors said that roundtables would often last around two hours and there were no breaks, adding: \u201cNope, once we’re in, we’re in until someone is gone!\u201d<\/p>\n

Kas also spoke in this same \u2018Ask Me Anything\u2019 thread about the off camera experience of where they stayed during the show, saying: \u201cCan’t say much about the lodgings, apart from that we were well separated and guarded, there was no way of knowing who was where, at any time!\u201d<\/p>\n

He also revealed the gruellingly long days that shooting the civilian version of the show would entail, saying that they would often leave their hotel rooms at 7am and return at 2am.<\/p>\n
