Everything you need to know about The Celebrity Traitors UK season 2
The Celebrity Traitors UK season 2 preview
We all know the score by now — Faithful or Traitor, banish correctly or face murder, complete a bunch of random tasks to boost the prize pot — but the real fun is seeing how the game will be played each time, who takes on the role of ‘Traitor hunter,’ who makes it to the end solely because they're too much of an easy target and which Traitors will crack under pressure.
Season 1 of the UK celebrity edition proved a fascinating shift from what we’ve seen before, with the well-established personas of the group coming under scrutiny, and the fact that they were well-known personalities giving the gameplay an extra dimension when compared with the civilian version in which everyone goes in as not only a stranger to one another, but a blank canvas. Who can forget Joe Marler’s ‘big dog’ theory — something based solely on Jonathan Ross and Stephen Fry’s exalted celebrity statuses — which, while only partially correct, led the Faithful’s gameplay early on.
This time out, there’s a whole new bunch of recognisable faces set to fight it out, including University Challenge host Amol Rajan, The Last of Us star Bella Ramsey and music legend James Blunt. There’s also former Little Mixer Leigh-Anne Pinnock, stage and screen royalty in Michael Sheen and Richard E. Grant, hardman Ross Kemp and Love Island host Maya Jama. After Carr and Mohammed proved comedians are not to be underestimated, the 2026 roster is inundated with funny people, with James Acaster, Joanne McNally, Joe Lycett, Miranda Hart, Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan all entering the famous castle.
The Celebrity Traitors S2 has all the makings of a classic, and it's a mouth-watering prospect for fans to see not only which of that group will be selected as Traitors, but how such an eclectic group of remaining Faithfuls go about weeding them out.

What's the latest from The Celebrity Traitors S2?
**SPOILERS FOR THE CELEBRITY TRAITORS SEASON 2**
The second chapter of The Celebrity Traitors latest season got off to a nervy start as we discovered whether it was Amol or James Acaster who had their coffin closed for good.
Breakfast revealed it was the University Challenge host who'd got the chop, with James recruited to the side of the Traitors. However, among the early morning chat, James managed to avoid suspicion, with Ross and Maya's names being thrown around, alongside Richard, obviously.
After pairing up, the group headed off to the challenge, which involved each duo being buried alive, aside from Ross (and by extension his partner Romesh), who was selected by the Traitors to start the game. Given the choice between rescuing fellow players and therefore giving them immunity from murder, or adding to the prize fund, Ross went full "no player left behind," not even bothering with adding money until everyone had surfaced, meaning the group only banked £5000. Meanwhile, Jerry (and by extension Hannah) had to forfeit the challenge after Jerry quit early, meaning they are the only two players available to murder the following night.
As the Round Table loomed, it seemed Richard's number was up after his ridiculous slip up/tactic the following night. Say what you will about his gameplay, but annoucning you're a Traitor to the group is a choice. The wrong choice, it would seem, as suspicion from the entire group landed on him, with the thespian having little in the way of defence.
Will thew group manage the rare achievement of banishing a Traitor (albeit one that was handed to them on a plate) at first time of asking? It seems likely, but with a few eyes also landing on Julie (for being voted the most trustworthy) and Leigh-Anne (for applying make-up late at night), who knows what will happen when The Celebrity Traitors U.K. returns.
Is there a The Celebrity Traitors UK spin-off show?
The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked, hosted by comedian Ed Gamble, airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer (and as a podcast on BBC Sounds) after each episode of the main show, with Ed joined by banished and murdered players and previous celebrity and non celebrity-players for a debrief and reactions to the latest betrayals, mind games and manipulations.
For the first time ever, there is a special spin-off focusing on how Claudia chooses her Traitors, with Traitor or Faithful? Claudia Decides streaming on BBC iPlayer now.
Where was The Celebrity Traitors UK S2 filmed?
The Celebrity Traitors UK was filmed in Ardross Castle, north of Inverness in Scotland. This is also home to the civilian iteration of the UK show, and both US versions of the programme.
Who won season 1 of The Celebrity Traitors UK?
A nail-biting season 1 finale ended with comedian Alan Carr walk away with the prize money as the final remaining Traitor following a tense showdown that resulted in Joe Marler's banishment. Faithfuls David Olusoga and Nick Mohammed elected to end the game, with Carr breaking down in tears as the truth was revealed.
Are there other versions of The Traitors?
There are a number of international versions of the show, including the Dutch original. Of note, the other English language versions come from the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The US version, hosted by Alan Cumming, has taken the opposite route to the UK, currently airing its first civilian-only edition after airing four celeb-packed seasons.
Assorted versions can be streamed for free on BBC iPlayer in the UK and 10Play in Australia.
