Unfortunately, no air date for TV has been confirmed just yet but it's expected to hit our screens around the autumn time.

Filming for the upcoming series officially began on April 22nd and will typically take up to a month to record.

Who is taking part in Celebrity Traitors UK?

We can't imagine it was difficult to get celebrities to sign up to the first ever Celebrity Traitors UK as the show has become hugely popular.

No official line up has been given yet, however, The Mirror confirmed the 19 stars taking part are:

  • Alan Carr
  • Clare Balding

  • David Olusoga
  • Joe Wilkinson
  • Mark Bonnar
  • Lucy Beaumont

Those eagerly awaiting the line up have been in uproar as they were convinced TV favourite Bob Mortimer would be taking part but is so far missing from the cast. Martin Lewis also confirmed he was offered to take part but had to turn it down because of his schedule.

Daisy May Cooper and her brother Charlie also dropped out of the show early on after realising how long the filming commitments were.

Are there any Celebrity Traitors UK spoilers?

As filming has only just begun, no spoilers have been dropped just yet and sadly, we don't expect to hear any before the series starts.

Producers of the show have reportedly pulled out all the stops to keep the outcomes of this series protected from viewers until it's time to air. No fly zones over the castle and blacked out cars are said to have been top priority.

Is there a Celebrity Traitors trailer?

Unfortunately not! We'll have to wait for filming to have wrapped and for the start date to be approaching before they give away any of the game.
