Video shows James Blunt teasing Celebrity Traitors spoiler ahead of season two

James Blunt is being very cloak-and-dagger about his upcoming appearance on Celebrity Traitors.

The 'You're Beautiful' singer features among the stellar lineup of famous faces who will join host Claudia Winkleman in the Scottish castle for the second series.

Details about what transpires in the new season are being kept tightly under wraps ahead of its premiere on 1 October - but it appears that Blunt might have just dropped a huge hint about what goes down.

The BBC confirmed the release date for the upcoming instalment of Celebrity Traitors earlier this month, a few days after it was reported that Richard Osman accidentally leaked it.

There's now only a couple of weeks to go before we get to see 21 stars live under a cloud of suspicion about who is stabbing them in the back as they compete for a £100,000 cash prize, which goes to a charity of their choice.

Blunt, 52, seemed to give fans a huge clue about just how treacherous he might be in the new series while playing a gig in Scotland last Sunday (13 September).

He performed at Radio 2 in the Park last weekend - alongside the likes of Chaka Khan, Emeli Sandé, Simple Minds and Deacon Blue - against the backdrop of Stirling Castle, which is quite apt, for obvious reasons.

As well as boarding a rubber dinghy to surf the crowd in, Blunt appeared to tip fans off about whether he will be a Traitor or a Faithful...which could also be a bid to throw people off the scent.

While belting out his 2013 track 'Bonfire Heart', one eagle-eyed fan spotted something suspicious on one of the huge screens behind him.

A video uploaded to TikTok by a music lover shows how cameras panned to a person donning a hooded cloak, which left them wondering if it was 'a hint that James Blunt may be a Traitor'.

Social media users then began speculating that the concertgoer might be onto something, as one person commented on the clip: "I would love this, should it be true."

Another added: "Help maybe!? Or could be promo for the series!"

Blunt obviously hasn't confirmed whether this is the case, so fans will have to tune in from 1 October to find out whether or not he can be trusted by his co-stars in this year's Celebrity Traitors.

In a trailer for the new series, the singer is heard saying: "People are out there to deceive."

As well as getting more gossip from its sister show Uncloaked, viewers can tune into Traitor or Faithful? Claudia Decides this year too.

It is set to inform fans of how the host and the production team divvy up the Traitors and Faithfuls by delving into the decision process.

Fans were given a sneak-peek of the new series last month to tide them over, which included footage of the likes of Maya Jama, Bella Ramsey and Ross Kemp looking pretty terrified while sat on rows of church pews.

Those who have been mulled over the Celebrity Traitors cast with a fine-tooth comb might have clocked that it doesn't feature any reality stars - and Geordie Shore alum Charlotte Crosby previously revealed why this is the case.

According to the Celebrity Big Brother winner, this is something of an unwritten rule among broadcasters, which she suspects also applies to the BBC series.

"I'm A Celebrity used to have this rule," she claimed earlier this year. "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."

Comedian Alan Carr triumphed in last year's series of Celebrity Traitors and swiped the £87,500 winnings in a chaotic final.
