The second season of The Celebrity Traitors has kicked off, promising drama from the very first episode. Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, this popular series features 21 celebrity contestants aiming to identify the Traitors before they’re “murdered” overnight. The premiere attracted 8.9 million viewers, marking it as the most-watched debut episode of the series in the UK.
In a gripping cliffhanger, comedians James Acaster and Amol Rajan face a tense decision as Traitors Richard E. Grant and Maya Jama choose one to recruit and one to eliminate. Ultimately, Amol became the first contestant eliminated.
Season highlights include a thrilling treasure hunt that added £15,000 to the prize pool. Richard and Maya, as this season’s Traitors, have selected James as their fellow Traitor, leading to dynamic gameplay.
The show airs every Thursday and Friday at 8 pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
