The Traitors UK has been such a huge success that a celebrity edition is coming to our screens, inviting a new cast of famous names to take on the ultimate task, convincing their cast members they have genuine intentions as they try to win the huge prize fund.

Some of the cast will be selected by host Claudia Winkleman as ‘Traitors’, conning their co-stars and scheming against them so that the other cast members follow their lead when it comes to the challenges and round table discussions about who to vote out.

It’s up to the Faithfuls to stop the Traitors from getting to the end and winning the prize fund, otherwise the Traitor will take it all.

Filming for The Traitors UK Celebrity reportedly started on the 22nd April and now the official lineup has been revealed.

Stephen Fry

Author, actor, broadcaster, writer and narrator, it’s no wonder Stephen Fry is high up on The Traitors’ producers' hiring list.

A source told the tabloids earlier this year: "Claudia put Stephen right at the top of celebs she’d want on The Traitors and Stephen has made it clear he’d be game."

National treasure Stephen Fry has fans of the show already rooting for him to go the distance. He hinted at his part in the competition when he appeared on This Morning earlier this year, when Ben Shepherd asked him if he’d ‘be interested in doing a show like that’ and he replied: “Let me see how good I am at lying.”
