Celebrity Traitors Release Date Revealed: Latest News You Need to Know
Countdown hits its final seconds as anticipation peaks for what comes next.
Yes, they went there: The Traitors is getting the celebrity treatment. Same delicious paranoia, now with famous faces trying not to get murdered at breakfast. Claudia Winkleman is back to stare down the room and pull the strings.
When is it on?
Celebrity Traitors kicks off Wednesday 8 October at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer. The premiere is a supersized 70-minute episode, so there is extra time for side-eyes, secret meetings, and immediate bad decisions.
What exactly is this version?
It is The Traitors you know: a group of players split into Faithfuls and Traitors, where suspicion, bluffs, and backstabs are the whole point. The twist here is everyone is famous, and the prize pot (up to £100,000) goes to a charity of the winner’s choice. Expect alliances, betrayals, and at least one person who swears they can spot a liar from a mile away and then immediately proves they cannot.
