BBC has confirmed a celebrity version of The Traitors is coming.

The iconic gameshow, fronted by Claudia Winkleman, has been a hit with fans since its first series back in 2022.

It sees a group of contestants – a few are chosen by Claudia to become Traitors while the rest are the Faithful. The Faithful then have to work out who the Traitors are and banish them. A money prize awaits at the end.

And now, it’s been confirmed that a celebrity version is coming to screens!
