Richard Osman Says He Would Join Celebrity Traitors Only If Cast as a Traitor

He says the show's accusation format would be intolerable unless he is cast as a traitor.

Overview

  • Speaking on The Chipping Forecast podcast, Osman confirmed he was invited to the BBC reality series as he marked his 55th birthday.
  • He said he would only take part if assigned the secret traitor role, rejecting the prospect of playing a faithful.
  • He explained that being falsely accused during the round-table discussions would "drive [him] insane."
  • He noted producers cannot guarantee roles, so his participation has not been agreed.
  • In separate interviews, he recalled early-career fear at his first live audience on Pointless and said his nystagmus requires a tightly arranged writing setup close to the screen.
