The buzz is building as Claudia Winkleman gears up to host another thrilling season of The Celebrity Traitors. With the show's first run being a massive hit, expectations are sky-high for the second installment. During a recent appearance on The One Show, Claudia hinted at some major names joining the cast, confirming there are definitely "big dogs" involved this time around. "They had to repeat the people [in the cast] twice to me, because I was like, ‘huh? Are you joking? Come again?’," Claudia excitedly shared. "We’re so grateful that people want to come and play the game!"
The rumor mill is churning with names like Bob Mortimer, who previously expressed interest in the show, calling it "the only show of its kind on TV that I would agree to get involved with." Though he didn't make it last season, producers would love to have him on board. Meanwhile, Ruth Jones is said to be in talks, but only if she gets to play as a 'Faithful'. And let's not forget Danny Dyer, who might have a change of heart after watching the first season. "If you’re famous, it needs to be an indulgence project — you have to love the game," he mused.
Alison Hammond, known for her comedic flair, is reportedly keen to join, hoping to add some laughter to the mix. Amanda Holden, despite her busy schedule, has expressed a desire to participate, saying on her radio show, "I’d have to be a Faithful though – everyone would assume I’d be a Traitor." With filming rumored to start soon, producers are keeping the final line-up under wraps, but the anticipation only adds to the excitement. Whether it's new faces or returning favorites, The Celebrity Traitors Season 2 promises to be a captivating watch.
Names like Daisy May Cooper, Cheryl Tweedy, and Stephen Graham are also floating around as potential contestants. Daisy was initially slated for season one but had to back out due to family commitments. With a second chance on the horizon, she might just make it to the castle this time. Meanwhile, Cheryl Tweedy, taking "baby steps" back into the spotlight, could be a surprising addition. And Stephen Graham, fresh from his dramatic roles, might bring a different flavor to the reality setting. As for Hugh Bonneville and Hugh Grant, their charming personalities could steal the show.
