Overview
- The series launches Wednesday 8 October at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer, airing two nights a week on Wednesdays and Thursdays across a nine-episode run.
- Nineteen contestants include Stephen Fry, Alan Carr, Tom Daley, Paloma Faith, Charlotte Church, Jonathan Ross, Clare Balding, Kate Garraway, Nick Mohammed, Celia Imrie and more.
- Filmed at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands, the game keeps the Faithful-versus-Traitors format with missions to build a communal pot worth up to £100,000 for charity.
- Winkleman describes the celebrity edition as scarier, says she tried to block the idea, styled her on-screen role on Cruella de Vil with a touch of Miss Trunchbull and admits producers tell her off when she tries to drop clues.
- Stephen Fry says he would prefer to be a Faithful, calls some missions potentially tedious, argues that ‘reading people’ is unreliable and notes that being a Traitor can be highly stressful.
