Celebrity Traitors Premieres on BBC One With High-Stakes Opener and Fresh Game Twists

The 70-minute launch unveiled new mechanics for a nine-episode charity run, from a graveyard immunity test to a “kill in plain sight” mission.

Overview

  • The celebrity spin-off began Wednesday at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, with nine episodes airing weekly on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
  • Nineteen well-known contestants entered Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands with Claudia Winkleman hosting and up to £100,000 on offer for charity.
  • An opening cemetery challenge saw players dig for hidden shields that granted protection from the first attempted elimination.
  • A team task moving a Trojan horse and solving puzzles banked £15,000 toward the shared prize pot.
  • Three Traitors were selected during the premiere, their first assignment requires a public “kill” using a poisonous black lily, and the episode closed on a cliffhanger that drew swift social media reaction.
