Instead of watching regular people lie through their teeth while trying not to get stabbed in the back by their so-called alliances, we will soon get to see famous faces tackle mounting paranoia on The Traitors.

That's right - according to reports, a celebrity version of the BBC show which has Brits in a chokehold has been confirmed and producers are working on an extraordinary line-up.

Following the success of the first two seasons, TV bigwigs are planning on satisfying our never-ending craving for more by roping in a string of stars to throw on the hooded cloaks.

Bosses at Studio Lambert - the company which produces both the UK and US versions of The Traitors - and the BBC, which broadcasts the show, are said to be close to hammering out an agreement.

According to Deadline, the celebrity version could launch as soon as next year.

It is hoped that a series featuring household names will film in early 2025 before being released later on in the year - while three seasons of the civilian version will have already aired.

Claudia Winkleman and her iconic fringe will still be at the forefront, as she is set to continue her hosting gig on both editions of The Traitors.

The presenter, 52, previously discussed the celebrities she'd like to have on the show - and if the producers let her decide, it sounds like it would be a right hoot.

Winkleman said: "Victoria Coren Mitchell so I can cuddle her – I know her, that sounds weird – Adam Woodyatt, always.

"Andrew Garfield and I'll have Stephen Fry as well."

But now it seems like the celebrity version is properly in the pipeline, what stars are tipped to be joining The Traitors?

For starts, insiders say that Friends star Courteney Cox is a firm favourite.

She's pals with Claudia Winkleman, has already appeared in a sketch for the show and would make some brilliant telly - so what's not to love?

Wagatha Christie rivals Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney are also rumoured to be under consideration for the line-up, as producers no doubt hope for another explosive showdown between the pair.

To balance out the worry of that beef, Alison Hammond could reportedly sign up to The Traitors too as she has dabbled in a range of other shows before and is already a sure-fire hit with the public.

Former footballer Gary Lineker is also another name being circulated to join the celeb version, while Celebrity Big Brother star Rylan Clark and former Health Secretary Matt Hancock could also make an appearance.

Fans also wonder whether the likes of Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders and Mary Berry might get thrown into the mix, seen as though they all featured in a Celebrity Traitors sketch last year for Comic Relief.

Winkleman really ought to hand over her contact book and make things a whole lot easier for the bookers, to be honest.

But I guess we will have to simply wait and see which famous faces are willing to pretend to be Faithfuls, eh.

LADbible has contacted the BBC for comment.
