The BBC has assembled an all-star cast of celebrity contestants for a spectacular special edition of the hit psychological reality show The Traitors, set to deliver drama, deception and high-stakes entertainment.
Star-Studded Lineup Revealed
Among the famous faces entering the Scottish castle for this celebrity edition are comedy legend Alan Carr, acclaimed actress Celia Imrie known for her roles in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Calendar Girls, and former England rugby star Ugo Monye. The star power doesn't stop there - the cast includes television presenter Ashley Banjo, reality TV favourite Chris McCausland, and comedian Stephen K. Amos.
The Ultimate Game of Trust and Betrayal
This celebrity special follows the same nail-biting format that made the original series a national sensation. Contestants will work together on challenging missions to build a prize fund, while secretly among them lurk the 'Traitors' - players tasked with eliminating their fellow competitors without detection.
The remaining 'Faithful' must use all their wit and perception to identify the deceivers before they become the next victims of murderous betrayal. With celebrity egos and competitive spirits in the mix, the psychological tension promises to reach new heights.
When to Watch the Celebrity Showdown
Mark your calendars for Wednesday 27th December when the celebrity special of The Traitors will air on BBC One and iPlayer. This festive treat comes as the perfect appetizer while fans eagerly await the full second series scheduled for early 2024.
The original series, hosted by the compelling Claudia Winkleman, became one of 2022's most talked-about television phenomena, praised for its intense psychological gameplay and stunning Scottish Highlands backdrop.
With this celebrity edition bringing together such diverse and charismatic personalities, viewers can expect an unforgettable battle of wits where fame offers no protection against the game's ruthless mechanics of trust and treachery.
