The BBC has officially confirmed the full line-up for the upcoming Celebrity Traitors series.

It ranges from actors, TV presenters and comedians to singers and an Olympian, with plenty of recognisable famous faces heading to Scotland.

Once again hosted by Strictly Come Dancing’s Claudia Winkleman, the celebrity version will give contestants the chance to win a cash prize of up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.

Claudia hailed the cast as "brilliant" after the official line-up was confirmed by the BBC.

When is Celebrity Traitors on TV?

The BBC confirmed recently that Celebrity Traitors will air this autumn, with a date not yet confirmed.

The news of the Celebrity Traitors' air date was announced in the BBC's annual plan: "The ultimate reality game of trust and treachery returns with the first ever Celebrity Traitors edition this autumn alongside a new series in early 2026."

The series will feature nine episodes, slightly shorter than the 12 that have been in the three series of the normal Traitors show.

The Traitors debuted in 2022 and has since picked up a Bafta TV Award for Best Reality and Constructed Factual programme as well as a Broadcasting Press Guild Award for Best Entertainment Programme.

The third and most recent series earlier this year saw project manager Jake Brown and former soldier Leanne Quigley share the prize pot of £94,600.
