Celebrity Traitors Series Two Cast Revealed
The much-anticipated second season of Celebrity Traitors has officially announced its star-studded cast, marking a significant moment for fans of the show. The BBC released the first teaser trailer on Saturday morning, offering a glimpse into the upcoming series.
Among the most notable names in this year’s lineup are Maya Jama and Jerry Hall, who will be joined by legendary actor Richard E. Grant and comedian Romesh Ranganathan. After months of speculation about who would follow in the footsteps of last year’s winner, Alan Carr, the 19 names have finally been revealed in a quirky new trailer.
The trailer, set in an airport arrivals area, features a line of actors standing with the iconic roundtable chalk boards revealing their names. The cast includes Michael Sheen, Miranda Hart, Ross Kemp, Bella Ramsey, and James Blunt, all heading to Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands.
Comedians Rob Beckett, Joe Lycett, Joanna McNally, and James Acaster will also be part of the lineup, alongside Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock. The cast is further completed by mathematician Hannah Fry, broadcaster Amol Rajan, Coronation Street actress Julie Hesmondhalgh, prankster King Kenny, Industry star Myha’la, Heartstopper’s Sebastian Croft, and My Mad Fat Diary’s Sharon Rooney.
In the BBC’s announcement clip, people were seen holding signs at an airport with each of the celebrities’ names on them. However, there was a humorous twist as many of the stars’ names were spelled incorrectly, such as ‘Rob Bucket’, ‘Miranda Heart’, and ‘Richardy Grant’. One person even held the sign upside down, a nod to the show’s typical roundtable antics.
Sharing the clip on Instagram, the BBC wrote: “Host Claudia Winkleman will welcome an eclectic mix of people and personalities ranging from BAFTA and BRIT award winners through to social media stars plus some of the UK’s most cherished actors, comedians, presenters and beyond as the celebrities question who they can and can’t really trust, figure out who deserves to be banished and try to discover which of them is plotting murder under the cover of darkness.”
Fans will have to wait until autumn to see the celebrity line-up in action. This comes just a few weeks after the show’s beloved host, Claudia Winkleman, revealed that the line-up for Celebrity Traitors series two had been secured. She said she was left gobsmacked when she saw the names.
The BBC’s star-studded spinoff first aired in late 2025, with comedian Alan Carr winning as a Traitor. In late March, Claudia appeared on The One Show to promote her newly launched BBC chat show. She was asked whether more ‘big dogs’ were set for Celebrity Traitors, following the big names from series one.
Claudia replied: “There certainly are. The people who make it are extraordinary and they had to repeat the people twice to me because I was like, ‘Huh, are you joking? Come again.’ So, we’re incredibly lucky.”
During the conversation, Claudia addressed whether famous faces were lining up to enter the castle—after the success of the first Celebrity Traitors. She said: “Yeah, I hope so. We’re so grateful that people want to come and play the game. And the people who said yes for series one, I still can’t believe it. I was shaking when you see Stephen Fry walking around the castle and Alan Carr, Ruth Codd, all of these people I was obsessed by. I’m very excited. But I can’t say anything else, don’t make eye contact with me.”
