Jonathan Ross Warns Off Celebrities After ‘Uncomfortable’ Turn on Celebrity Traitors

Ross says the constant lying took a personal toll during the pre-recorded BBC series.

Overview

  • Speaking on his Reel Talk podcast, Ross said he did not enjoy being a Traitor and has advised two friends approached for a potential second celebrity run to consider his experience.
  • He described the need to lie throughout production as “really wearing” and said guarding the secret left him increasingly uncomfortable.
  • Host Claudia Winkleman selected Ross as one of three Traitors alongside Alan Carr and Cat Burns in the opening episode.
  • Following a broadcast betrayal on the show, Alan Carr posted a tongue‑in‑cheek apology to Paloma Faith, and she later said she felt hurt but has forgiven him.
  • The celebrity series was filmed at Ardross Castle with 19 contestants competing for £100,000 for charity, with further episodes continuing to air on BBC One.
