The fingerless gloves are on as Claudia Winkleman returns to The Traitors castle tonight, with an all-star cast who are ready to play the ultimate game of deceit and betrayal, otherwise known at The Celebrity Traitors.
Here’s everything you need to know about it…
When is The Celebrity Traitors on TV and BBC iPlayer?
The Celebrity Traitors is coming to iPlayer and BBC One from tonight (8 October 2025).
The multi-award-winning hit psychological game format will launch its first celebrity series with an extra-long first episode, as fans will be treated to 70 minutes of treachery.
The series will air two nights a week, on Wednesday and Thursday evenings at 9pm. And Claudia promises it’ll put the celebs through their paces.
“We’re incredibly lucky these brilliant people have said yes”, said Winkleman. “I’d love to say we’ll take it easy on them and they’ll just wander round the castle and eat toast for a couple of weeks but that would be a lie.”
Joining Claudia in the castle are:
- Alan Carr – Comedian
- Cat Burns – Singer/Songwriter
- Celia Imrie – Actor
- Charlotte Church – Singer/Activist
- Clare Balding – Broadcaster and Author
- David Olusoga – Historian and Filmmaker
- Joe Marler – Former England Rugby Player and Podcaster
- Joe Wilkinson – Comedian

- Paloma Faith – Singer/Songwriter and Actor
- Ruth Codd – Actor
- Stephen Fry – Actor, Writer, Presenter
- Tameka Empson – Actor and Comedian
- Tom Daley – Olympian, Author, Broadcaster and Entrepreneur
We’re used to seeing Faithfuls and Traitors playing to win for themselves or their loved ones, but the celebrities will play the ultimate game of detection, backstabbing and trust, in the hope of winning a cash prize up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.
