Who is taking part in ‘Celebrity Traitors’?

The Traitors has become one of the most popular reality shows of recent years, so naturally, a celebrity version is in the works.

The BBC series, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, sees contestants compete for a cash prize at a castle in the Scottish Highlands.

A handful of these contestants are selected to be “Traitors” who have to conceal their identity and eliminate the “Faithfuls” to claim the prize. However, if the Faithfuls manage to banish all the Traitors through the daily roundtable meetings, all the surviving contestants win the cash prize instead.

A nine-episode celebrity version of the show was announced last year, which is expected to air in the autumn. While the BBC hasn’t officially revealed the line-up, The Sun has listed the celebrities who have reportedly signed up. You can check out the line-up below.
