Celebrity Traitors Filming Begins with Strict Rules Enforced

Filming has begun for the BBC's first-ever Celebrity Traitors at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands, featuring a star-studded cast including Stephen Fry, Tom Daley, Alan Carr, Celia Imrie, Jonathan Ross, Charlotte Church, and others. To maintain secrecy and prevent any pre-filming collusion, the BBC has enforced strict rules: celebrities have had their phones confiscated, are kept apart in a hotel under constant security, and can only make supervised calls home via a communal production phone. The production has gone to great lengths to keep the cast list confidential, even orchestrating individual travel arrangements and securing a 'no fly zone' over the castle, though the full line-up has already leaked to the media. Contestants are reportedly not receiving any special treatment despite their fame, with the BBC aiming for an 'explosive' and fair series. The show, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, tasks the celebrities with unmasking traitors among them, following the format of the original hit series. The celebrity edition is expected to air in the autumn.
