We’re only two episodes in, but we’re absolutely obsessed with The Celebrity Traitors. Claudia Winkleman has returned to bring us our favourite back-stabbing TV show, but this time with stars like Tom Daley, Alan Carr and Kate Garraway attempting to outdo each other as they aim to raise money for charity. We’ve only seen one exit so far, but as ever, we’re on the edge of our seats with the series. Here’s all you need to know…
The official release for the show read: “The celebrities will play the ultimate game of detection, backstabbing and trust, in the hope of winning a cash prize up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.” Speaking about the show, Claudia 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.”

Who are the Traitors?
In the opening episode, Claudia chose her ‘traitors’ selecting chat show host Jonathan Ross, singer Cat Burns and comedian Alan Carr. Fans have been loving Alan as a traitor, with the star joking he was “worse than Linda”.

Who has been eliminated?
There haven’t been any banishments yet, but there has been a ‘murder’ in plain sight. After touching a ‘poisonous lily’, Alan opted to ‘murder’ his close friend, singer Paloma Faith.
The singer wasn’t happy with the decision, telling Uncloaked host Ed Gamble: “If the shoe was on the other foot, I would not have touched Alan’s face. Categorically, he had a choice – maybe it was the easiest option, but it was the choice he made and I don’t think it was very nice.”
