Traitors or faithfuls? Stephen Fry, Paloma Faith and Alan Carr will be in the castle
Sir Stephen Fry, Alan Carr, Paloma Faith, Charlotte Church and Jonathan Ross are among the stars who will pit their wits against each other after being confirmed on the line-up for the celebrity version of hit TV show The Traitors.
A total of 19 presenters, actors, singers, comedians and sportsmen will attempt to be good traitors and faithfuls in the show, which will air this autumn.
The line-up – one of the most star-studded in reality TV history – will also include Clare Balding, Kate Garraway, Celia Imrie and Nick Mohammed.
Olympic champion Tom Daley and long-serving England rugby union player Joe Marler will bring their sporting strategies to the Traitors castle in Scotland.
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.”
