Charlotte Crosby hits out at 'unknown rule' that's banned her from The Traitors following line up announcement
The Celebrity Traitors is set to return to our screens in a few months time but it seems as if not everyone is impressed with the star-studded lineup.
After a successful first season which hilariously saw Alan Carr triumph as a solo traitor, featuring some iconic moments from Celia Imrie, the celebs are now heading back to Ardross Castle in Scotland ahead of an Autumn release.
We've got a wide array of famous faces competing under the guidance of Claudia Winkleman, ranging from legendary actor Richard E.Grant to social media star King Kenny.
While we've got musicians, comedians and actors a plenty, if there's one type of person we've been missing in the opening two seasons, it's reality TV stars.

Now, there's plenty of potential reasons for that, but Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby has hit out at the 'unknown rule' which seemingly prevents them from taking part.
Ahead of the first season, she said: "I'm A Celebrity used to have this rule. But it gets to the point where they’ve obviously run out of big names so they have to start delving into reality.
"So they’ll have this rule for maybe three or four series and then they might have to break the mould a bit. As soon as they do, I will be there with my f**king cloak."
And now she's at it again after reality stars were snubbed for the second time, admitting that she would love to be considered but still thinks the hidden rule is what's stopping her from getting the call.
She told the Daily Mail at the BAFTAs: "I'd absolutely love to [take part in Celebrity Traitors] but I don't think it's possible with reality TV.
"Apparently it's a rule, I've heard from an insider but I'd love to."
She added: "That's right up my street."
Perhaps this could all be a ruse and she might still appear on our screens, especially after eagle-eyed viewers realised that there was one fewer name than usual in the BBC's recent trailer which confirmed the line-up.
It wouldn't be the first time that Claudia had pulled such a trick, with some of the public versions of the show seeing contestants kicked out before even getting to the castle.
Then again, they're unlikely to shell out a big appearance fee for the likes of Stephen Fry before telling them to get lost before the game even begins.
The current line-up for season two includes:
- Amol Rajan – Journalist and Broadcaster
- Bella Ramsey – Actor
- James Acaster – Comedian and Podcaster
- James Blunt – Singer/Songwriter
- Jerry Hall – Model and Actress
- Joanne McNally – Comedian
- Joe Lycett – Comedian
- Julie Hesmondhalgh – Actor
- King Kenny – Content Creator
- Leigh-Anne Pinnock – Singer/Songwriter
- Maya Jama – Broadcaster and Entrepreneur
- Michael Sheen – Actor and Presenter
- Miranda Hart – Actor and Author
- Myha’la – Actor
- Professor Hannah Fry– Broadcaster and Mathematician
- Richard E. Grant – Actor and Author
- Rob Beckett – Comedian
- Romesh Ranganathan – Comedian
- Ross Kemp – Actor and Presenter
- Sebastian Croft – Musician and Actor
- Sharon Rooney – Actor
Meanwhile, former winner Harry Clark, who might go down in history as the best traitor in the history of the show, has already had his say on who we should look out for in the upcoming season.
He said: "Maya Jama we'd love to see as a Traitor, very nonchalant.
"On the other hand they've got Ross Kemp who's the UK's hardest man. How will he handle himself under pressure on the Traitors? If you think it's him how do you even tell Ross Kemp you think it's him!
"I'd tell him and then be like yeah sorry I ever thought it was you!"
