It’s official: The BBC has officially confirmed the line-up for the first ever season of Celebrity Traitors.
On Tuesday, May 13, the network revealed the 19 celebrities who will be heading to the Scottish castle for the ultimate game of deception and betrayal.
The celebrities will play the iconic game, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, with £100,000 up for grabs for a charity of their choice.
“We’re incredibly lucky these brilliant people have said yes. 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,” Winkleman said.
The show is set to air later this year and will run across nine episodes. It’s unclear whether or not Celebrity Traitors will be available to watch in the U.S., but given that seasons of Traitors UK are currently on Peacock, fans are hoping for the best.
Ahead of the episodes, here’s a list of all the celebrities taking part, current betting odds and our verdict on who we think is most likely to win, and who we think would make a good Traitor.

Nick Mohammed – Most likely to win
Age: 44
Job: Comedian and actor
Instagram: @nickmohammedy
Ted Lasso star Nick Mohammed joins the line for the BBC One show. He’s known for playing Nathan Shelley, who has quite the evil streak, and it looks like this could come in handy for Mohammed who is the early 13/8 favourite to win Celebrity Traitors.
Celia Imrie – Second most likely to win
Age: 72
Job: Actress
Instagram: @celia.imrie
Actress Celia Imrie is best known for starring in Calendar Girls and the Bridget Jones films. A renowned actress, we have high hopes for Celia on The Traitors and think she’ll make an impressive Faithful. And the odds are in her favour – Imrie is currently the 15/8 second favourite to win the show.
Tom Daley – Third most likely to win
Age: 30
Job: Retired diver
Instagram: @tomdaley
Retired Olympic diver Tom Daley has been confirmed for Celebrity Traitors. He’s currently the 6/4 second favourite to be a Traitor and the 2/1 third favourite to win. So it’s looking like The Traitors could be a win-win situation for Daley.
Paloma Faith – Most likely to be made a Traitor
Age: 43
Job: Singer, songwriter and actress
Instagram: @palomafaith
Singer Paloma Faith has been confirmed for this year’s show, and is an early 11/8 favourite on betting apps to be a Traitor. Having starred in St. Trinians, Youth, and more, we reckon Paloma’s acting skills could help her pull off the perfect Traitor.
Charlotte Church – Likely to be made a Traitor
Age: 39
Job: Singer
Instagram: @therealcharlottechurch
Singer and actor Charlotte Church is among the 19 celebs confirmed for Celebrity Traitors, and she’s the 7/4 third favourite to be picked to wear one of the iconic, green cloaks.
Kate Garraway
Age: 58
Job: Broadcaster
Instagram: @kategarraway
Kate Garraway is in this year’s line-up. The presenter is best known for her work on ITV and is no stranger to a reality TV show, having taken part in Strictly Come Dancing back in 2008. She’s currently the 9/4 fourth favourite to win the show with a 30.8 per cent probability, so it’s looking like her journalistic skills may just come in handy on The Traitors.
Joe Wilkinson
Age: 50
Job: English comedian and actor
Instagram: @gillinghamjoe
Comedian Joe Wilkinson has been confirmed for Celebrity Traitors. Wilkinson started his comedy career in 2004 and has supported the likes of Alan Carr and Russell Howard. Based on current odds, Wilkinson isn’t a favourite for being a Traitor, but he’s in fifth place to win the show with a 28.6 per cent chance of coming out on top.
Cat Burns
Age: 24
Job: Singer-songwriter
Instagram: @catburns
The Traitors’ fan Cat Burns’ dreams have come true, as the singer is one of the celebs taking part this year. Cat previously took to her TikTok account to tell her 2 million followers al; about her love for the show, but based on recent odds she only has a 22.2 per cent chance of winning the show. Let’s hope Cat’s picked up some tips from all her telly watching.
Ruth Codd
Age: 28
Job: Actress
Instagram: @ruthcodd
Actress Ruth Codd is part of this year’s line-up. Codd is best known for appearing in Netflix’s The Midnight Club, and currently has a 20 per cent chance of winning the show.
Joe Marler
Age: 34
Job: Former rugby player
Instagram: @joemarler17
Former rugby player Joe Marler has been confirmed for this year’s show. He’s apparently hoping to show fans a different side to him, where he’s known for his 18-year rugby career. He currently has a 18.2 per cent chance of winning the show, so it’s not looking too good for Marler. Perhaps his competitive streak will kick in when the game starts and he’ll surprise us all.
Niko Omilana
Age: 27
Job: YouTuber
Instagram: @niko
YouTube sensation Niko Omilana is part of the Celebrity Traitors cast. He’s known for his prank videos and work with the Sidemen. He ran as an independent candidate in the 2021 London mayoral election and 2024 UK general election. And it looks like Niko could have a similar outcome to his 2024 candidate race, during which he secured just 1 per cent of the votes. Current betting odds suggest that he only has a 16.7 per cent chance of winning the BBC One show.
Lucy Beaumont
Age: 41
Job: Comedian
Instagram: @the_one_from_hull
British comedian Lucy Beaumont has been confirmed for Celebrity Traitors. She previously presented Channel 4’s Jon & Lucy’s Odd Couples alongside her former partner Jon Richardson. Beaumont currently has a 16.7 per cent chance of winning the show, and is the third least likely to be made a Traitor. But, you never know, she could surprise us once the game gets underway.
Jonathan Ross
Age: 64
Job: TV presenter
Instagram: @mewossy
Jonathan Ross will take part in Celebrity Traitors later this year. Ross is a well-known TV figure, with a career spanning over three decades and could make the perfect Traitor. The Masked Singer judge is currently the 5/2 fourth favourite to be a Traitor, although he has a 15.4 per cent chance of winning, so his big personality could see his cover blown on the show.
Tameka Empson
Age:
Job: Actress
Instagram: @official_tameka_empson
EastEnders actress Tameka Empson is part of the Celebrity Traitors line-up. Empson is best known for playing Kim Fox on the BBC One soap, and currently has a 14.3 per cent chance of winning the show based on betting apps.
David Olusoga
Age: 55
Job: Historian
Instagram: @olusoga
BAFTA winning filmmaker and historian David Olusoga is part of the Celebrity Traitors line-up. But it’s not looking good for Olusoga, who currently has a 12.5 per cent chance of winning the show.
Alan Carr
Age: 48
Job: Chat show host
Instagram: @chattyman
Chat show host Alan Carr has been confirmed for Celebrity Traitors. The comedian is best known for his show Alan Carr: Chatty Man, which he hosted from 2009 to 2017. We know he’ll probably have the other contestants laughing, but will he be any good at spotting Traitors or even being one? Currently, it’s not looking too good for Carr, who has an 11.1 per cent chance of winning according to recent odds.
Mark Bonnar – Most likely to be murdered or banished first
Age: 56
Job: Actor
Instagram: @mark_bonnar
Actor Mark Bonnar will take on the ultimate game of deception later this year. Bonnar is best known for playing DCC Mike Dryden in Line of Duty and Max in Guilt. But based on current odds, it’s not looking like we’ll see much of Bonnar on the BBC One show. He’s currently the third most likely to be murdered or banished, with a measly 10 per cent chance of winning.
Clare Balding – Most likely to be murder or banished first
Age: 39
Job: TV presenter and journalist
Instagram: @clarebalding
TV presenter and journalist has been confirmed forCelebrity Traitors. Balding is best known for interviewing and presenting for BBC Sport and Channel 4. As an experienced journalist, we thought that her interrogating skills could come in handy on the BBC One show, but based on current odds, she has a 9.1 per cent chance of winning the show and is most likely to leave first alongside Stephen Fry. But will this be a murder or a roundtable banishment? We’ll have to wait and see.
Stephen Fry – Most likely to be murdered or banished first
Age: 67
Job: Actor, broadcaster and comedian
Stephen Fry has been confirmed for Celebrity Traitors. But according to recent betting odds, he could be first to go alongside Clare Balding with a 9.1 per cent chance of winning the show.
