The BBC is set to premiere "Celebrity Traitors UK" in autumn 2025, a celebrity edition of the popular reality series "The Traitors." Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, the show will feature 19 well-known personalities competing in a thrilling game of deception and strategy.

The format remains true to the original, with celebrities divided into "Faithfuls" and "Traitors," engaging in missions to build a prize fund of up to £120,000.

The confirmed cast includes comedian Alan Carr, singer-songwriter Cat Burns, actress Celia Imrie, singer Charlotte Church, television presenter Clare Balding, historian David Olusoga, former England rugby player Joe Marler, comedian Joe Wilkinson, television presenter Jonathan Ross, journalist Kate Garraway, comedian Lucy Beaumont, actor Mark Bonnar, actor Nick Mohammed, social media personality Niko Omilana, singer-songwriter Paloma Faith, actress Ruth Codd, actor Stephen Fry, and actress Tameka Empson. Notably, Olympic diver Tom Daley is also part of the lineup.
The series is expected to blend the intrigue of the original "Traitors" with the added excitement of celebrity participation, promising a captivating viewing experience. Fans can anticipate a mix of strategic gameplay, unexpected twists, and the unique personalities of the celebrities involved.
As the premiere approaches, anticipation is building for this star-studded adaptation of a beloved game show. "Celebrity Traitors UK" aims to deliver a fresh and entertaining take on the original format, with the added allure of celebrity involvement. Viewers can look forward to a compelling blend of strategy, suspense, and celebrity dynamics when the show airs later this year.
