Overview

• The series launches at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer with an extended first episode, then airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays across a nine-episode run.
• Nineteen contestants — including Stephen Fry, Alan Carr, Tom Daley, Kate Garraway and Jonathan Ross — enter the castle to play as Faithfuls or Traitors.
• Players compete to build a pot worth up to £100,000 for their chosen charities, with missions affecting the total.
• Jonathan Ross said filming felt isolating and paranoia-inducing, noting phones were confiscated and contestants had no control over the edit.
• Reports say participants receive a flat £40,000 appearance fee, and Ed Gamble’s Traitors Uncloaked returns with on-site identity reveals to eliminated players.
