Michael Sheen Fears Career Could Put Him at a Disadvantage on Celebrity Traitors

Claudia Winkleman hosts 21 celebrities in the second series, with the final winner set to earn up to £100,000 for charity.

  • On Thursday, October 1, The Celebrity Traitors launches on BBC One and iPlayer, with 21 celebrities competing for up to £100,000 for charity at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands.
  • A star-studded roster includes Actor Michael Sheen, Actor Richard E. Grant, and Actor Miranda Hart alongside five comedians, with the extended 75-minute opening episode airing twice weekly on Thursdays and Fridays.
  • In a format twist, host Claudia Winkleman selected only two Traitors initially: Maya Jama and Grant, who then recruited Amol Rajan and James Acaster as potential team members to join them.
  • Actor Michael Sheen expressed concern that his profession creates a disadvantage, saying people assume actors are "natural-born liars," while supermodel Jerry Hall, 70, declared confidence in remaining active throughout.
  • Spanning ten episodes and concluding on October 30, the BBC expects strong engagement following last year's finale, which attracted over 15 million viewers and became a major ratings success.
