The line-up of famous faces set to film Celebrity Traitors series two has been confirmed – but some fans reckon a big twist is already in the works.
With the likes of Bella Ramsey, Sebastian Croft and Joe Lycett heading to the Scottish castle, some eagle-eyed fans noticed there were fewer names confirmed than expected.
So far, all four series of the civilian version have had at least 22 participants. This year’s Celebrity Traitors has just 21 names confirmed, leading some fans to believe a surprise addition will be revealed on the show.
It’s not necessarily clear why they’ve got their tin-foil hats on, considering Celebrity Traitors series one only had 19 contestants, including winning traitor Alan Carr, but the theories have us hopeful that a gay favourite could be the surprise star.
On Reddit, one fan asked: “Only 21 cast members, a secret 22nd or a late drop out?”
Some suggested an early-out from the first series, like pop star Paloma Faith, could be set to return. Others pointed at previous stories in the press which said Danny Dyer, Bob Mortimer or even Girls Aloud icon Cheryl were in talks to film the show.
And even ITV star Ross King got in on the theories, saying on Lorraine: “I know some of the fans are a little upset that there’s been no mention of Cheryl so far. Who knows? They might just drop someone in, social media will go mad.”
Who has been confirmed for Celebrity Traitors series two?
The famous faces announced to be heading to Andross Castle were revealed in a cheeky video on social media on 2 May.
They include broadcasters Amol Rajan and Hannah Fry, actors Bella Ramsey, Jerry Hall, Julie Hesmondhalgh, Michael Sheen, Miranda Hart, Myha’la, Richard E Grant, Ross Kemp, Sebastian Croft, and Sharon Rooney, television host Maya Jama, singers James Blunt and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, comedians James Acaster, Joanne McNally, Joe Lycett, Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan, and social media star King Kenny.
