Claudia Winkleman is back to stir up excitement for the second series of Celebrity Traitors, and she’s dropping hints that have fans buzzing. As the show gears up for its grand return, Claudia couldn’t resist giving a sneak peek into the new season’s star-studded line-up.
The reality TV sensation, crafted by Studio Lambert Scotland, has been a blockbuster for the BBC since its debut in 2022, drawing in peak audiences of 9.6 million. Last year, the celebrity edition of this mind-bending game of deception took the UK by storm, with 19 famous personalities battling it out for charity.
On November 6, 2025, viewers were glued to their screens as comedian Alan Carr, then 49, skillfully deceived his way to an £87,500 victory, later donated to Neuroblastoma UK. His cunning performance left finalists Nick, Joe Marler, and David Olusoga in awe.
After his unmasking, a teary-eyed Alan confessed, “I’m so sorry, it’s been tearing me apart.” His fellow finalists offered heartfelt reassurances, with David Olusoga acknowledging, “You did brilliantly, Alan! It’s a game!”
With the buzz of the first series still echoing, Claudia was asked about the upcoming season while on The One Show with Vernon Kay. When quizzed about the potential 'big dogs' in the new cast, Claudia excitedly revealed, “There certainly are, the people who make it are extraordinary... So, we're incredibly lucky.”
Reflecting on the previous season, Claudia reminisced, “I was shaking when I saw Stephen Fry walking around the castle, and Alan Carr and Ruth Codd, all of these people who I was obsessed with.” It looks like fans can expect another round of jaw-dropping surprises.
