The Celebrity Traitors series two first look is finally here.
The BBC has released the new trailer for the hotly-anticipated series as host Claudia Winkleman leaves the star-studded lineup, including Maya Jama, James Blunt and Richard E Grant quivering in the chilling debut teaser.
Set in an eerie church, the celebrities gather in the pews, as Claudia asks: 'A moment of silence for the celebrities gathered today.'
The camera then panned across a terrified Miranda Hart, Rob Beckett, Julie Hesmondhalgh, Bella Ramsey, Ross Kemp and Sharon Rooney.
'Thoughts and prayers,' said Claudia, before striding down the aisle as she added: 'Who doesn't love a dramatic exit.'
Details about the new series are being kept a closely-guarded secret, so it remains to be seen who Claudia will choose as her three Traitors.
With this lineup proving to be the starriest yet, it was previously reported that bosses were forced to double their £1million budget in a bid to cater to the A-List contestants' demands.

Maya and Jerry Hall are two of the biggest names leading this year's cast as they join legendary actor Richard E. Grant and comedian Romesh Ranganathan.
Also heading to Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands are Michael Sheen, Miranda, Ross Kemp, Bella Ramsey and James Blunt.
Comedians Rob Beckett, Joe Lycett, Joanna McNally and James Acaster will also be joined by Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock.
The line up will be completed by mathematician Hannah Fry, broadcaster Amol Rajan, Coronation Street actress Julie Hesmondhalgh, prankster King Kenny, Industry star Myha'la, Heartstopper's Sebastian Croft and My Mad Fat Diary's Sharon Rooney.
In June, it was reported that producers of the show are 'shocked' by how the new series has unravelled after the original Traitors went on a 'recruiting spree'.
