Overview
- The second celebrity series began tonight, Thursday 1 October, with a 75-minute opening episode on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
- Twenty-one public figures including Michael Sheen, Bella Ramsey, Miranda Hart, Maya Jama and James Blunt enter Ardross Castle to play as secret 'Traitors' and 'Faithfuls' for up to £100,000 for charity.
- Claudia Winkleman returns as host and the run will span 10 episodes airing twice weekly on Thursdays and Fridays with companion shows and immediate iPlayer extras such as The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked.
- Producers confirmed a brief, producer-led pause during filming that was overseen by a dedicated welfare team, and they have emphasised contestant support while the series airs.
- The series builds on last year's big ratings success and foregrounds how celebrities' public personas will shape gameplay, with actors saying their craft can make them more suspect and comedians warning they will betray one another for entertainment value.
