Fans are on the edge of their seats as they wait for Celebrity Traitors to kick off.
Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, viewers are being treated to a mix of A-listers, popular actors, TV stars and singing icons.
The celebrities will play the ultimate game of detection, backstabbing and trust, in the hope of winning a cash prize of up to £100K for a charity of their choice.
Host Claudia said: “We’re incredibly lucky these brilliant people have said yes.
“I’d love to say we’ll take it easy on them and they’ll just wander round the castle and eat toast for a couple of weeks but that would be a lie.”
In a sneak peek to the new series, the BBC dropped a video which revealed the cast.
Their faces appeared in portraits and were seen hanging on the wall of the famous Traitors castle.
At the end of the trailer, the Beeb revealed that the spin-off will kick off this Autumn.
Here we take a look at the 18 stars who are taking part in the first ever Celebrity Traitors…
