Last updated 23rd Oct 2024
Following the success of the first two series of The Traitors, rumours were rife that BBC bosses were planning a celebrity edition, and in August they confirmed the news we'd all be waiting for!
Announcing a celebrity version will be filmed in 2025, along with a fourth series of the main show, casting in now underway.
Who has signed up for Celebrity Traitors?
Although no names have been confirmed for the series just yet, with casting taking place as we speak, it's no surprise rumours are rife as to which celebs could join the show.
Check out all of the rumours below and see which celebs we'd love to appear on the show:
Courteney Cox
Friends star Courteney Cox is great friends with The Traitors host Claudia Winkleman, so it's no surprise rumours are rife that she could be taking part in the celebrity series! As fans will know, Courteney even appeared in a promo video alongside Claudia to promote applications for series two last year.
Richard Osman
Reports in September 2024 suggested that TV host Richard Osman was the frontrunner to appear on Celebrity Traitors in 2025. A source told The Mirror: "Richard would be a terrific signing. He reckons he knows how to commit the perfect murder, so could surely spot a Traitor from 100 paces or outsmart the others if he needs to?"
Clare Balding
Despite turning down numerous offers to appear on other reality TV shows in the past, reports are rife that broadcaster Clare Balding will appear on the celebrity version of The Traitors.
Stephen Fry
According to reports, QI host Stephen Fry is one of the names at the top of lists for bosses, especially considering he's a huge fan of the show. Although nothing has been confirmed, reports are suggesting Stephen is very much up for taking part.
Tess Daly and Vernon Kay
According to reports, host Claudia has enlisted her Strictly co-host Tess Daly for the celeb series, alongside her husband Vernon Kay. Bosses reportedly want to create suspicion and paranoia amongst the contestants by including a well-known pair.
Tom Daley
As well as being rumoured for this year's I'm A Celeb, Olympic diver Tom Daley has also reportedly signed up for Celebrity Traitors. Tom announced his retirement at the age of 30 following the Paris Olympics in the Summer of 2024.
Liz Truss
Ever since her short stint as Prime Minister back in 2022, Liz Truss has been rumoured to take part in a number of reality TV shows, including I'm A Celeb and Strictly. Although she's not signed any contracts just yet, rumours are suggesting she's been named as a 'dream contestant' by bosses.
Reports in the press are suggesting a number of huge names are keen to appear on the show, with a source saying: "After the show was announced, producers were swamped with calls from big names and their agents wanting to throw their hat in the ring — many of them a big surprise."
When is it on TV?
There's no official start date for the celebrity version of The Traitors just yet, but BBC bosses have confirmed filming will take place in 2025.
Mike Cotton, Creative Director Unscripted at Studio Lambert and Executive Producer for The Traitors added: “We are thrilled to be inviting some celebrities into our castle to come and play the game. Seeing famous faces navigate the round table or don the infamous green cloaks will be unmissable TV, and what a double treat for the fans with Series 4 also confirmed too. There's a whole lot of exciting treachery and deception yet to come from the Highlands… Claudia’s going to have to pack some extra knitwear.”
