the Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\nWhen cameras begin rolling this weekend, the 21 contestants will be divided into Traitors and Faithfuls, after extensive discussions with host Claudia Winkleman and production staff. From that moment on, their task will be to uncover which participants are making nocturnal trips to the turret dressed in the sinister hooded cloaks – ultimately determining who amongst the remaining contestants will meet their demise.<\/p>\n
In keeping with tradition, the celebrity contestants will be donating all proceeds from the prize pot to charities close to their hearts, rather than pocketing the winnings themselves. While cameras are currently rolling, the programme isn’t anticipated to broadcast on BBC1 until autumn, mirroring last year’s schedule when household names including Sir Stephen Fry, Alan Carr, Paloma Faith, Charlotte Church and Jonathan Ross competed.<\/p>\n
The programme became a phenomenal success, attracting 15million viewers throughout its run, with 15.4m watching the gripping finale where Alan emerged victorious, revealing himself as a Traitor in the closing moments before breaking down in tears under the immense pressure. This dramatic conclusion has earned a nomination for the TV Moment of the Year gong at next weekend’s BAFTAs.<\/p>\n
In the months since, there’s been widespread conjecture regarding potential participants for 2026, with speculation linking Danny Dyer, Ruth Jones, Liam Gallagher, Cheryl Tweedy and Peter Crouch to the castle. Additional inaccurate rumours have also mentioned Alison Hammond and Louis Theroux. The second series line-up includes:<\/p>\n
