When is Celebrity Traitors? Release date and latest news
It's almost time.
There are just two days to go before The Celebrity Traitors makes its way to screens, and fans are in for an almighty treat.
Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, the series will see a group of 19 celebrities assume the roles of either Faithfuls or Traitors to play a game of detection, backstabbing and trust.
Winkleman admitted she faced a big challenge of being strict while filming, because all she wanted to do was "chat and be friendly but my role is aloof and grumpy".
"I found it hard not to just sit down with them and have a cup of tea," she said. "My family and I are obsessed with Joe Wilkinson, I had to stop myself getting his autograph for my son."
So, when will the devious game make its way to BBC One?
