Celebrity Traitors series 2: The full cast line-up
The series 2 cast list for Celebrity Traitors was released in May. But in case you missed it, here are all the famous faces heading into Ardross Castle.
They will all be battling it out for a possible £100,000 prize pot for a charity of their choice. Last year’s winner, comedian Alan Carr, scooped £87,500 for Neuroblastoma UK after bluffing it to the end as a Traitor.
This year, singer James Blunt, model Jerry Hall and comedians Joanne McNally and Joe Lycett are trying their luck.
Coronation Street legend Julie Hesmondhalgh, content creator King Kenny and Little Mix favourite Leigh-Anne Pinnock are also on the list.
They are joined by Love Island host Maya Jama, actor Michael Sheen and the brilliant Miranda Hart. American actress Myha’la, broadcaster and mathematician Professor Hannah Fry and actor Richard E Grant join them.
Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan are also due to appear. Putting themselves forward as a Traitor or a Faithful will also be journalist and broadcaster Amol Rajan, actress Bella Ramsey and comedian and podcaster James Acaster.
EastEnders star Ross Kemp, musician and actor Sebastian Croft and actress Sharon Rooney complete the line-up.
Fans were quick to react to the line-up at the time. One wrote online: “The Celebrity Traitors line-up is SO good!” Another fan added: “Can’t wait. There are some big names there that I think will be great game players.”
When does The Celebrity Traitors series 2 start?
Celebrity Traitors will be returning to BBC One and BBC iPlayer this autumn. The exact start date is yet to be confirmed, however last year’s series ran from October 8 until November 6, so we are expecting something similar.
The BBC has however revealed the second series will be comprised of 10 episodes. Each one will last an hour. You can also expect a spin-off on BBC2.
The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked will also return when the new series kicks. Ed Gamble will once again host the companion show.
We’re counting down the days already!
