All of the famous faces we'd love to see on The Celebrity Traitors
Get this lot in the castle ASAP!
Last updated 1st Dec 2025
Thanks to celebs like Alan Carr, Jonathan Ross and Celia Imrie, millions of TV fans were completely obsessed with the first-ever series of The Celebrity Traitors, with the show breaking viewing records for the BBC.
After a huge 15 million people watched the final, the BBC officially renewed the show for a second series in 2026, and now attention is now turning to the line-up, with many fans expressing who they'd love to see sign up for the show.
Will there be a second series?
Yes, BBC bosses confirmed the news on Monday 10th November, with Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC, saying: “Studio Lambert have done an outstanding job as The Celebrity Traitors has well and truly captivated the nation, becoming a bona fide highlight of the year bringing record numbers of people together to enjoy every twist and turn.
"In 2026 the doors of the castle will be opened again to welcome celebrity players to the game to see who can charm, who can scheme and ultimately who can survive in series two which promises to be just as unmissable as the first. Plus with Uncloaked returning and today’s news of the positive contribution The Traitors brand has made to Scotland’s economy, there is plenty to celebrate.”
Who will take part?
Despite nothing being confirmed just yet, we have decided to come up with a list of names we'd love to see on The Celebrity Traitors in the future, as well as all of the current rumours.
Check out which celebs would be great for the show below:
Tess Daly
Now she's announced she's leaving Strictly Come Dancing after 21 years, TV presenter Tess Daly could have some spare time on her hands! Imagine how great it would be to see her best pal Claudia Winkleman make her a Traitor?!
Sam Thompson
Hits Radio host Sam Thompson is no stranger to reality TV, and we think he'd be hilarious on The Celebrity Traitors!
Bob Mortimer
Comedian and TV host Bob Mortimer is one of the favourites to appear on the 2026 series!
Dame Judi Dench
Her reputation alone would make her untouchable, who is going to dare banish or murder Dame Judi Dench?!
Gordon Ramsay
With his no-nonsense attitude towards basically everything, chef Gordon Ramsay would bring excellent entertainment to the round table!
Gok Wan
His talents are endless, so we've got no doubts that Magic Radio Breakfast host Gok Wan would make an incredible Traitor.
Rylan Clark
Rylan in a Traitors cloak just needs to happen TBH...
Miriam Margolyes
Although she's revealed she actually turned down the first series, we aren't the only ones who would love to see actress and comedian Miriam Margolyes join the show!
Alison Hammond
Let's be honest, it wouldn't be a TV reality show without the Queen that is Alison Hammond!
Harriet Rose
KISS presenter Harriet Rose would bring serious vibes to the show, and with her amazing interviewing ability, she could be great at fishing out the Traitors.
David Attenborough
A true National Treasure that must be protected at all costs, but we think David Attenborough could have what it takes to sniff out the pesky Traitors.
Adele
She may be a superstar singer, but Adele is taking a break from music right now, so what better way to fill her time?!
Stacey Solomon
Stacey Solomon's warmth and humour would make her incredibly likeable by her fellow contestants and we don't think she'd be suspected as a Traitor!
Ken Bruce
With decades of experience in the radio business, Greatest Hits Radio presenter Ken Bruce would be great under pressure as a Traitor, not to mention the fact he's trusted and likeable!
Tyson Fury
He's a champion boxer with both physical and psychological powers, and whilst he's currently in retirement (for now anyways), Tyson Fury's unpredictability would make for great TV.
Emma Thompson
With movies like Love Actually, Bridget Jones and Saving Mr Banks under her belt, award-winning actress Emma Thompson could act her way through the show, throwing the Faithfuls off scent!
Tyler West
If the group were feeling down, KISS presenter Tyler West would bring the vibes and energy the group need to find the Traitors.
Niall Horan
The show always needs a cheeky Irish chappie! With Niall Horan's charm and charisma, NOBODY would suspect him!
Alexander Armstrong
Pointless host Alexander Armstrong would bring a calm presence to the castle. With his sharp intelligence and good judge of character, we think he'd make a brilliant Faithful.
Natalie Cassidy
EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy could be the perfect dark horse on the show! Bonus if she brings Sonia's trumpet with her...
Paul Hollywood
Mr Paul Hollywood could fool anybody with those piercing blue eyes!
Sharon Osbourne
Following her stint on Celebrity Big Brother last year, we just need to see Mrs O back on our screens!
Stormzy
'Vossi Pop' hitmaker Stormzy, real name Michael Ebenezer Kwadjo Omari Owuo Jr, would bring some serious charm and charisma to the show. With his strategic mind and leadership qualities, we think he'd be great as a Traitor.
Graham Norton
TV presenter Graham Norton interviews celebs for a living, so he'd have no issues asking hard-hitting questions to try and sniff out the Traitors. With his sense of humour and charm, he'd be a great team player.
Denise Welch
Denise Welch interrogating other celebs would just be TV gold, TBH.
Lewis Capaldi
Thanks to his loveable and relatable personality, nobody would suspect Scottish singer Lewis Capaldi, making him a great Traitor.
Gemma Collins
Let's be honest... It wouldn't be a reality TV show rumoured line-up without the GC!
Lily Allen
Following the release of her latest album 'West End Girl', it seems singer Lily Allen wouldn't put up with any BS in during the round tables, creating great TV!
Leah Williamson
As the captain of England's Lionesses and Arsenal, Leah Williamson certainly has the leadership qualities needed for the game!
Judi Love
Judi Love would be able to use her charm and humour to create bonds in the castle, making her a very trustworthy candidate. Just what you need to be successful on the show!
Holly Willoughby
Following her departure from This Morning, Holly Willoughby has made limited TV appearances, so this could be her pathway back to a major presenting gig.
Lord Alan Sugar
We'd love to see how Lord Sugar copes when swapping the boardroom for the round table!
Sir Andy Murray
Competitive ✅Good under pressure ✅ Poker face ✅ - Sir Andy Murray has all the traits to be a successful Traitor!
Dermot O'Leary
Speaking to our friends over at heatworld, Dermot said: "I'd find it difficult to turn down Celebrity Traitors because I really, really enjoyed it. But the problem is – aside from being away for that long – I think I'd be a terrible Traitor. They've done so such a great job of amping up the stress and I hate the idea of people thinking ill of me, especially my peers, so I'd worry if I was part of that level of subterfuge. But it's been a great series."
The BBC are yet to confirm any names for series two of The Celebrity Traitors.
