Celebrity Traitors line-up in full confirmed as Claudia Winkleman breaks silence
Claudia Winkleman has teased that she's "incredibly lucky" to have secured such a stellar line-up for the celebrity version of Traitors - and we can now confirm who's appearing.
Celeb Traitors is due to kick off this autumn, and will provide all the deceit and intrigue the BBC show usually offers, but with the bonus of familiar famous faces. We can reveal that ITV star Kate Garraway, who is usually seen hosting Good Morning Britain, will be joining the show, along with prolific actor Stephen Fry and teen singing sensation turned actress Charlotte Church.
The latter previously boasted a £25 million net worth, but has since confessed: "I'm no longer a millionaire". However, the 39-year-old is likely to pick up a generous pay packet for her stint in the Scottish Highlands, as will Olympic champ Tom Daley. They'll be joined by camp comedian Alan Carr, plus singer Cat Burns, who rose to prominence in 2020 with her single Go, and became the nation's best-selling female artist within just two years of her debut.

Veteran actress Celia Imrie, 72, will also be part of the show, which will be the next highlight in a long-standing career, including roles in four Bridget Jones films.
Jonathan Ross, who is a household name thanks to his ITV show, will leave viewers open-mouthed as they see him in a guise he's never displayed on TV before.
Former England rugby player and podcaster Joe Marler will also be present, alongside sports broadcaster Clare Balding and singer Paloma Faith.
Tameka Empson, who played Kim Fox on EastEnders, the BAFTA award-winning film-maker and historian David Olusoga, plus comedians Nick Mohammed and Joe Wilkinson are other faces viewers will see in a new light at Ardross Castle.
Meanwhile, you might not have heard of Niko Omilana, but he's been making a name for himself in the YouTube world, racking up an impressive seven million subscribers on the site thanks to his pranks.
These include sneaking into the KSI vs Logan Paul boxing rematch and trying his luck at getting into the ring himself, while he even ran for London mayor, receiving almost 50,000 votes.
Finally, Shetland star Mark Bonnar, The Midnight Club’s Ruth Codd and comedian and TV star Lucy Beaumont will complete the line-up of 19.
The nine-part series, hosted by Strictly's Claudia Winkleman, will give celeb contestants the chance to win £100,000 for a charity of their choice.
"We’re incredibly lucky these brilliant people have said yes. I’d love to say we’ll take it easy on them and they’ll just wander round the castle and eat toast for a couple of weeks, but that would be a lie.”
