The highly anticipated "Celebrity Traitors UK" is set to premiere on BBC One this autumn, bringing a fresh twist to the popular reality series "The Traitors." Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, the show will feature 19 well-known celebrities competing in a thrilling game of deception and strategy.
Filming for the series took place at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands, providing a dramatic backdrop for the contestants. The lineup includes a diverse mix of personalities, such as comedian Alan Carr, singer Paloma Faith, and former Olympic diver Tom Daley. Each celebrity will start as a "Faithful," with a select few secretly chosen as "Traitors" aiming to deceive the rest. Through various missions, the group will build a prize fund of up to £120,000, with the ultimate goal of winning up to £100,000 for charity.
The show is expected to air over three weeks, with nine episodes showcasing the intense dynamics among the celebrities. Regular "banishments" and "murders" will add suspense, culminating in either the Faithfuls or a remaining Traitor claiming the prize. The production began in April 2025, and fans can anticipate plenty of deception, strategy, and entertainment in this new twist on the hit series.
Claudia Winkleman expressed her excitement about the cast, stating, "We're incredibly lucky these brilliant people have said yes. I’d love to say we'll take it easy on them and they'll just wander round the castle and eat toast for a couple of weeks but that would be a lie." This statement hints at the challenging and competitive nature of the game ahead.
As the premiere date approaches, anticipation is building among fans eager to see their favourite celebrities in a new light. With a mix of humour, strategy, and suspense, "Celebrity Traitors UK" promises to be a must-watch event this autumn.
