Lucy Beaumont, the beloved comic and former contestant on Celebrity Traitors, is buzzing with excitement as she teases the return of the hit show. According to Lucy, the debut season was such a smashing success that attracting A-list celebrities for the next season will be a breeze. With more than 15 million viewers glued to their screens, it's no wonder big names are eager to join the castle's ultimate game of deceit and betrayal.
“I'm suddenly really popular with nine-year-old children,” Lucy shared with The Mirror. “It's so weird. I was in co-op just doing some shopping and there was a line of just really young children wanting a photo.”
Even after the cameras stopped rolling, the camaraderie among the cast remains strong. Lucy revealed that the cast keeps in touch through a lively WhatsApp group, a testament to the genuine connections formed during filming. She fondly recalls the atmosphere on set, likening it to a team bonding getaway rather than a TV production.
The show’s runaway success, highlighted by Alan Carr's dramatic victory over rugby legend Joe Marler and Ted Lasso's Nick Mohammed, has only intensified the buzz. Lucy is confident that the allure of the show will draw in even more star power, musing that “you can't get any bigger than Stephen Fry really, can you?”
In celebration of the Joy of Missing Out (JOMO), Lucy has teamed up with Virgin Media to promote the joys of staying in. With new research showing Brits saving over £130 a month by swapping social outings for cozy nights in, it's clear that TV is a cherished escape. Virgin Media's inclusion of Netflix in their packages is just the cherry on top for those wanting to unwind with quality entertainment.
Lucy reflects on the importance of shared family viewing, noting that shows like Celebrity Traitors bring families together. “Friends have said that they’re gutted because it was the only time the teenagers would sit with them!” she adds, emphasizing the unifying power of great television.
