Jerry Hall, Richard E Grant and James Blunt are among the competitors this time around
Year: 2026
Host Claudia Winkleman is back for this second run of the excellent – not to mention BAFTA-winning – celebrity edition of The Traitors. So, who will claim the crown this time around? And will they possibly outdo series one winner Alan Carr’s spectacular brand of treachery?
The star-studded line-up for the 2026 edition head to the Scottish Highlands, where they will begin the ultimate game of deception and betrayal. The contenders include Jerry Hall, James Blunt, Richard E Grant, Amol Rajan, Bella Ramsey, James Acaster, Joe Lycett, Corrie’s Julie Hesmondhalgh, Love Island’s Maya Jama – who should certainly be used to reality show shenanigans – Michael Sheen, Ross Kemp, Miranda Hart, Myha’la (Industry), Professor Hannah Fry and, perhaps most remarkably, both Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan. Imagine if they both end up as traitors!
The first time around, Celebrity Traitors was that rare thing, a ‘celebrity’ show that actually features genuinely famous faces, and they’ve pulled off the same trick this time, too. May the games begin, because we’ll all be watching…
