BBC’s UK Celebrity Traitors cast has been announced and it’s even better than we could have hoped for, with the confirmed line-up setting us up rather nicely for a compelling new season of twists and turns.

On the Celebrity Traitors 2025 line-up, host Claudia Winkleman said “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.”

The cast was confirmed on 13 May by the BBC in the first tantalising teaser trailer for the series. You can see it for yourself below:

In the trailer, we see the all-too familiar breakfast room of the castle in the dark as a grandfather clock ticks.

“Look at all those famous faces,” host Claudia Winkleman says in the voiceover as the camera pans to the wall of portraits. “Smiling, popular, talented, clever respected, all hoping that we’ll play nicely because they’re celebrities. They couldn’t be more wrong.”

The new series will see celebrities play the ultimate game of deception in an effort to secure a £100k prize for a charity of their choice, and we’re pleased to let you know that filming for the first star-studded edition of Traitors has officially wrapped in the hallowed halls of Scotland’s Ardross castle.

With the first ever celebrity UK series of the show set to run for nine episodes come autumn, we couldn’t be more excited.

The 2025 Celebrity Traitors line-up features everyone from British legends such as Jonathon Ross and Charlotte Church to Tom Daley and Paloma Faith, so there’s plenty to be excited about and we certainly have our own thoughts on who would make decent Traitors and Faithfuls.
