Celebrity Traitors S2 cast announced

[GNL]

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Very excited to see James Acaster in the castle!

 

[GNL]

Looking forward to Joe Lycett, Hayley off Corrie, Spiceworld star Richard E. Grant and the very obviously wicked Jerry Hall

 

[Lucille]

Oh that’s a fab cast.

 

[Pingu]

I love Professor Hannah Fry but she’s definitely out first.

 

[Madison]

Hopefully Rajan goes out first, and Hannah Fry shines.

 

[FetchFugly]

RICHARDY GRANT

 

[Tisch]

Oh that's come seemingly out of nowhere. No time for SPECULATING WILDLY at all

Calling it now, Miranda Hart will be a Traitor to try and replicate the Alan Carr story arc.

 

[Ellie]

Oh how fantastic!

 

[GNL]

I hope Myha'la plays this entirely in character as Harper.

 

[Pingu]

Calling it now, Miranda Hart will be a Traitor to try and replicate the Alan Carr story arc.

The Traitors has up until now been quite good as resisting the urge to replicate previous storylines and going for new dynamics each series so I hope that remains the case here.

 

[Ellie]

James Blunt would make a fantastic traitor.

 

[Ellie]

Dp

 

[octophone]

Acaster? Gah, I'm going to have to watch this now.

 

[Agneeta]

I've been saying Blunt would be perfect for this.

That's a fabulous cast.

 

[lolly]

That's a fantastic cast.

I hope Rob Beckett leaves early. I much prefer Romesh on his own than with him.

 

[ILL ADVISED]

Astonishing cast!!

Acaster will be chaos

 

[lolly]

For some reason Professor Hannah Fry being listed alphabetically under P is tickling me

Series One of The Celebrity Traitors debuted on BBC iPlayer and BBC One in October 2025 and has been a runaway success with an average audience of 14.9m across the run with a peak of 15.4m for the finale. The series has seen unprecedented growth, making it the top entertainment episode across the whole market since 2016 and the number one series across all genres and platforms in 2025.

Meanwhile the fourth series of The Traitors, which had the nation hooked in January 2026, achieved a 12.5m 28-day average, this is up +22% on Series Three (10.3m). The majority of viewing has been driven by BBC iPlayer, making up 6.6m of the audience (53%), and increasing +28% on the third series. This is the second biggest series across the market since the start of 2025, only behind The Celebrity Traitors

The Celebrity Traitors will be coming to BBC One and BBC iPlayer later in 2026.

 

[straightorbroken]

Jerry Hall's first worthwhile gig since Kept (2005). Cannot wait.

 

[Lucille]

 

[Halli]

Jerry Hall is going to be amazing TV

James Blunt I'm looking forward to

 

[Superstylin']

Pretty decent lineup but the BBC gender imbalance of casting more celebrity men strikes again. They’re notorious for this on Strictly and that’s both series of this that they’ve done it too.

 

[jivafox]

Jerry Hall That Murdoch stock fell off QUICK!

 

[ManicKangaroo]

Pretty decent lineup but the BBC gender imbalance of casting more celebrity men strikes again. They’re notorious for this on Strictly and that’s both series of this that they’ve done it too.

11 vs 10 is hardly a huge imbalance

 

[Madison]

Plus the host is a lady host.

 

[Superstylin']

11 vs 10 is hardly a huge imbalance

Where did I say it was “huge”? Pointing out that last year they cast more men, this year they have and the BBC have been doing the same for the past couple of years with SCD.

Strictly 2025 - 9 men / 6 women
Strictly 2024 - 9 men / 6 women
Strictly 2023 - 8 men / 7 women

Of course where there’s an odd number there’s always going to be an imbalance (unless they cast someone non binary, which FYI Bella Ramsey is so 11/9/1 actually) but sure, theres nothing to see here and absolutely no trend with their reality tv casting.

 

[PercyPig]

That's a fantastic cast.

I hope Rob Beckett leaves early. I much prefer Romesh on his own than with him.

One of them will be gone early doors

“You two work together. There’s no way they wouldn’t make one of you a traitor”

 

[FetchFugly]

Hmmm. If true, I guess a door opened for Sebastian Croft.

 

[hyperwoof]

Ohh. That would have been amaze

 

[lolly]

Bullet dodged

 

[straightorbroken]

Whoever suggested him in the first place needs to be fired immediately.

 

[dUb]

Seeing this array of people on a reality show is nuts

 

[Agneeta]

I forgot how astonishing the line-up was and then GRANT MITCHELL appeared.

 

[Lucille]

Dying at the concept of Hayley Cropper vs Harper Stern.

 

[Finn]

Dying at the concept of Hayley Cropper vs Harper Stern.

Hayley's the guest judge Drag Race UK s8 needed

 

[disneyteletubby]

Haha I didn't know it was all announced in May but a cool list! I might actually follow this one properly

(and whenever the celebrity version happens in Ireland, definitely looking out for )
