No, The Celebrity Traitors is not on TV tonight, Wednesday, October 7.
Fans looking forward to the next high-stakes Round Table will have to wait just a little bit longer. The Celebrity Traitors airs exclusively on Thursdays and Fridays at 8:00 PM on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
Who is in The Celebrity Traitors Cast?
The star-studded lineup taking on Claudia Winkleman’s ultimate game of deceit and strategy includes a major mix of UK household names:
- Actors & Presenters: Richard E. Grant, Michael Sheen, Bella Ramsey, Miranda Hart, Ross Kemp, Julie Hesmondhalgh, Sharon Rooney, Myha’la, and Sebastian Croft.
- Comedians: James Acaster, Joe Lycett, Rob Beckett, Romesh Ranganathan, and Joanne McNally.
- Musicians & Broadcasters: James Blunt, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Maya Jama, Amol Rajan, Professor Hannah Fry, Jerry Hall, and King Kenny.
Headlines and Shocking Twists Since the First Show
The opening week delivered non-stop drama following Claudia’s initial selections. Richard E. Grant and Maya Jama were tapped as the original Traitors, before recruiting comedian James Acaster as their third co-conspirator—resulting in the immediate “murder” of broadcaster Amol Rajan.
The biggest headline dominating social media following the launch is Richard E. Grant’s unbelievable slip-up. Overwhelmed with excitement after being picked, the actor openly admitted to several players that he was a Traitor just minutes after receiving the shoulder-tap.
Who Is Favourite to Be Banished This Week?
Heading into the upcoming episode, Richard E. Grant is the overwhelming favourite to be banished at the very first Round Table.
Bookmakers and fans alike have singled out the star following his instant confession and nervous energy. If the Faithful vote him out on Thursday night, it will mark the earliest correct banishment of a Traitor in the history of the UK franchise. Other names floating around suspicion include singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock and mathematician Professor Hannah Fry.
What’s in Store This Thursday (October 8)
BBC producers have teased a dramatic night ahead as the game heats up:
As the first banishment unfolds, the Faithful are hoping that they’ve caught a Traitor, while the Traitors are desperate to keep their identities concealed. The celebrities must put their trust in one another during a mission that fuels suspicion and paranoia amongst the players.
When night descends, tensions rise at the Round Table. Will the players succeed in exposing a Traitor, or will an innocent Faithful be wrongfully banished?
The Celebrity Traitors returns Thursday, October 8 at 8:00 PM on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
