Finally, the BBC has given us a first look at Celebrity Traitors series two, and it’s going to be a big one.
Claudia Winkleman was back in her full fringe glory as she asked for a ‘moment of silence’ from the stars.
Familiar faces could be spotted sitting on the church pews, with Maya Jama, Michael Sheen, Bella Ramsay, Ross Kemp, Richard E Grant and more with their game faces on.
The star-spangled line-up, which also includes Little Mix icon Leigh-Anne Pinnock, comedians Romesh Ranganathan, Joe Lycett, James Acaster and Rob Beckett, and actors Miranda Hart and Sharon Rooney, was revealed after they descended on Ardross Castle earlier this year to film the second season of the ratings juggernaut for the BBC.
It had been the show every celeb wanted to be a part of after Alan Carr took home the trophy last year, remaining undetected by the Faithfuls.
‘Thoughts and prayers,’ Claudia ominously tells the assembled group as she leaves, adding: ‘Who doesn’t love a dramatic exit?’
The BBC announcement teased that the popular show would be coming soon, but no official date has been confirmed yet.
So far, the stars have managed to keep tight-lipped about their experience in the castle, including Richard, who was grilled on the One Show.
He admitted he had called friend and former faithful Celia Imrie up to get her guidance on what to look out for.
‘I said, Celia, what is the thing that you can’t be prepared for? She said, “The cruelty of people who you instinctively want to trust”.
‘Like in a room like this and suddenly every single person suspects you. I think that’s a very accurate thing to have said.’
Senior TV Reporter Rebecca Cook unpicks the stellar line-up…
The second season of Celebrity Traitors is on track to provide plenty of drama (Michael Sheen, Bella Ramsay, Richard E Grant), as well as laughs (Romesh Ranganathan, Joe Lycett, James Acaster and Rob Beckett).
The BBC will be hoping to repeat that heady mix, which all came rolled into the single-man machine that was Alan Carr last year.
