Hold onto your seats, because The Celebrity Traitors is already delivering jaw-dropping moments, and we’re only two episodes in! Claudia Winkleman is back at the helm of this thrilling, backstabbing extravaganza, but this time, it’s the stars themselves who are plotting, scheming, and yes, even 'murdering' in plain sight—all for a chance to win up to £100,000 for charity. With a cast that reads like a who’s who of British talent—Tom Daley, Alan Carr, Kate Garraway, and more—this celebrity edition is anything but predictable. But here’s where it gets controversial: is it fair play or foul when friendships are tested and alliances crumble? And this is the part most people miss—the psychological depth of the game, where trust is a luxury no one can afford.
The show’s premise is simple yet brutal: celebrities must navigate a high-stakes game of detection, betrayal, and strategy, all while living under one roof. As Claudia herself admits, ‘We’re incredibly lucky these brilliant people have said yes, but don’t expect them to just wander around the castle eating toast.’ Spoiler alert: they’re not. Already, we’ve witnessed one shocking 'murder'—Alan Carr, in a move that left fans divided, chose to eliminate his close friend Paloma Faith after a fateful encounter with a 'poisonous lily.' Paloma didn’t hold back, calling out Alan’s decision as ‘not very nice.’ Is this a game of strategy or a test of morality? Let’s just say the lines are blurrier than ever.
The castle is buzzing with tension, and the Traitors—Jonathan Ross, Cat Burns, and Alan Carr—are wreaking havoc. Fans are loving Alan’s mischievous role, with some even joking he’s ‘worse than Linda.’ But with only one exit so far, the real drama is just beginning. The latest cliffhanger left viewers on the edge of their seats as Kate Garraway, Tom Daley, Tameka Empson, and Niko Omilana faced the roundtable votes. Who will be banished next? Thankfully, we won’t have to wait long—the next episode airs on Wednesday, 15 October.
Unlike the regular series, The Celebrity Traitors airs just twice a week, on Wednesdays and Thursdays, giving fans plenty of time to dissect every twist and turn. And for those already missing the non-celebrity version, fear not—Season 4 is set to film in 2025 and will return to its New Year’s Day slot in 2026. But here’s the real question: with such a star-studded lineup, is The Celebrity Traitors more entertaining than the original? Weigh in below—we want to hear your thoughts!
