BBC’s Celebrity Traitors has made a massive addition to their lineup for the upcoming season, as the well-known faces set to appear on the show have been revealed.
The show Traitors first aired in late 2022, and despite that, the show has exploded since, with multiple spin-off shows.
So far, we have had The Traitors in Australia, the US, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, and France.

Now – we will get the soon to be iconic show once again, but rather than unknown faces, it will be celebrities.
For those living under a rock who don’t know what The Traitors is, it takes a house full of people and splits them into ‘traitors’ and ‘faithfuls’.
This sees them all carry out tasks as a team and try to figure out who is sabotaging the group, as they all compete for a £120,000 prize.

The news of a celebrity spin-off was announced this year at the Edinburgh TV Festival, alongside the greenlighting of an upcoming fourth season of the original show.
Whilst two seasons have been released, a third has already been filmed and will release in early 2025.
The celebrity version of the show hosted by Claudia Winkelman is set also release in the early part of 2025, with a nine-part series.
The Sun are reporting that the lineup will be an eclectic mix of British celebrities, with an Olympian, an actor, a famous author, and a well-known popstar amongst the potential traitors and faithfuls.

Amongst the lineup is set to be Tom Daley, Clare Balding, Stephen Fry, Robert Peston, Daisy May Cooper, and Charlie Cooper.
In addition to the above, the arguably biggest name is Paloma Faith.
The Only Love Can Hurt Like This singer will join the cast and be the headline name for the newest series.

A source told The Sun: “Paloma is a fascinating character with plenty of stories to tell of life in the public eye, and great fun to be around.
“She’ll be an incredible player and will bring some glam to the castle - Claudia will have competition.”
Whilst it is unclear whether the format will particularly differ from the mainline version of the show, anyone who said they could’ve pictured a world in which Paloma Faith, Robert Peston, and Daisy May Cooper are all questioning who they can trust – you’re a liar (or even a traitor).
When announcing the show, Kalpna Patel-Knight, the BBC's head of entertainment, said:

"The Traitors has well and truly established itself as an unmissable highlight of the year and the news of a fourth outing, alongside a brand new celebrity version coming to the BBC, will take the series to a whole new level.
"It will once again be fascinating for our audiences to see who’ll outwit, outplay, and outlast."
Let the mind games begin!
