The second season of Celebrity Traitors is set to premiere with an exciting prize pot available for contestants. The show’s star-studded lineup includes Michael Sheen, Richard E Grant, Maya Jama, Ross Kemp, and Bella Ramsey. According to reports, each celebrity is compensated with a flat fee of £40,000 for their appearance, although rugby player Joe Marler mentioned he was paid £30,000 during last year’s series.
The prize money for this season is up to £100,000, which will be donated to charities chosen by the contestants, unlike the civilian version where contestants keep their winnings. The series will continue to be hosted by Claudia Winkleman, with the first episode airing on BBC One on October 1 at 8 PM.
Other notable contestants include comedians Joe Lycett, Rob Beckett, Romesh Ranganathan, and Miranda Hart. Unique to this season is mathematician Professor Hannah Fry, who aims to leverage her analytical skills to detect deceit among the participants.
