five-star Guardian review<\/a> called the finale an \u201cabsolute blinder\u201d.<\/p>\nAmong some of the more high-profile names on the first season were the actor and broadcaster Stephen Fry, the actor Celia Imrie, the Olympian Tom Daley, the singer-songwriter Paloma Faith, and the chatshow host Jonathan Ross.<\/p>\n
Popular moments in the series included Imre audibly passing wind during one of the missions, and Carr murdering his friend Faith in plain sight at the first opportunity.<\/p>\n
In the show, which began with 19 celebrities, contestants try to detect the traitors in the group while completing a series of challenges to win funds to contribute towards the prize pot. If at the end of the series a traitor is left among the finalists, the faithfuls, those who are not traitors, would lose out on the money and the traitor would win the full prize.<\/p>\n

Asked if she would rather be a faithful or traitor, Hammond replied: \u201cI\u2019m not going to tell you that, just in case I do it.\u201dA fan posted on X: \u201cSeason two with Alison Hammond needed NOW.\u201d<\/p>\nMike Tindall \u2013 <\/strong>The former rugby star, who is married to Princess Anne\u2019s daughter, Zara Tindall, expressed his interest in joining the show during a chat on the TV show This Morning.
