Claudia Winkleman to Host Celebrity Traitors UK

The BBC has confirmed The Celebrity Traitors UK — the first celebrity edition of the psychological game show — will premiere on Wednesday 8 October at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer with an extra‑long 70‑minute opener. Claudia Winkleman will host the series, which will air Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9pm across a nine‑episode run concluding on 5 November. A 19‑strong lineup revealed in the trailer includes Stephen Fry, Tom Daley, Nick Mohammed, Celia Imrie, Ruth Codd, Alan Carr, Paloma Faith, Jonathan Ross, Clare Balding, Niko Omilana and others, who will compete for up to £100,000 for charities of their choice. The format, filmed at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands, follows the civilian series as secretly designated “Traitors” try to eliminate others while avoiding detection. The BBC will air a companion podcast, Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked, hosted by Ed Gamble, immediately after each episode.
