After the success of CT #1, who would you like to see as participants on the next series?

I think Victoria Coren Mitchell would be good.

Jarvis Cocker- would be TV Gold.

Finchleee · 19/01/2026 16:27

Richard Osman

Robbie Williams

Ant and Dec so they would be separated at some point. I think people would be very suspicious if their alliance even if they were both faithful.

The Ant & Dec idea is fabulous.

I also love Richard Osman.

Fantastic group ...and please can Esme be a traitor 😅!

She would be checking out those seams on the cloaks !

Edited to add more .

I vote Erin Doherty (from the Crown and Adolescence) after seeing her in Graham Norton yesterday. Think she'd be hard to read and she seems super funny and nice

Bob Mortimer - he was rumoured for S1 so I wonder if he was one of those who couldn’t do the schedule.

Comedians did well in S1 - Nick, Joe and Lucy all got pretty far.

As mentioned on previous thread, Tom Hiddleston has said he’d love to do the show.

Did anyone see Michael McIntyre show on Saturday.

Joe M was on it and they did a very funny Traitors spoof thing with him .

goldtrap · 19/01/2026 17:07

If they have to do another one (they really don't, but if they are riding the wave....), I ask that they are proper proper celebs of the calibre mentioned here (eg Stephen Fry as a benchmark for fame). And it doesn't go down the 'who?!' route a la Masked Singer and I'm a Celeb.
(I'll allow one YouTuber for the young 'uns and one rogue 'who?!' for a break-out role - eg a Joe Marler vibe).

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 19/01/2026 17:10

Boris Johnson
Michael Sheen
Diane Morgan (Philomena Cunk etc)
Meera Syal
Floella Benjamin (she would have to be a Traitor - who would ever suspect her?)
Adrian Dunbar

CloakedInGucci · 19/01/2026 17:11

I agree about Tom Hiddleston - he seemed a real fan when he was on Graham Norton with Claudia.

Richard Osman said he’d never do it because as a producer he would just hate not having the control, especially is he was a faithful.

Bob Mortimer definitely.
I don’t know whether someone like Andy Murray would be good. He can be quite funny.

You need a mix of fields so
presenters: maybe someone like Sara Cox, Zoe Ball, Graham Norton,
Sports: Andy Murray, one of the Lionesses, Sue barker, Ian wright
“Serious” people: Lucy worsley, Clive Myrie, Kirsty Wark
Actors: Tom Hiddleston, Matt Smith, Helen Mirren, inevitably someone from Eastenders.
Comedy: French and Saunders (although I think any pairs are likely to be voted out quickly), Dara O Briain, James Acaster, Bob Mortimer.

Claudia was pretty adamant she wouldn’t be involved if the Celebs weren’t “right”.

It’s been reported that there were about a dozen other “proper” celebs who wanted to do S1 but couldn’t due to scheduling, so imagine they are top of the list for the next series.

Londonmummy66 · 19/01/2026 17:58

There are a lot of heavy weight retired sports stars who might be good value - Kelly Holmes or Jessica Ennis Hill, Matthew Pinsent, Helen Glover, Judy Murray might be fun as well.

bizzey · 19/01/2026 18:03

I wonder if now that the first series was such a hit. , more celebs are up for it ?

bizzey · 19/01/2026 18:04

A bit like the Jungle ... though I have to say ,, that is dying a death a bit !

MrTwisterHasABlister · 19/01/2026 18:13

Ricky Gervais
Kirsty Young
Alexander Armstrong
Michelle Obama
Rupert Everett
Jennifer Saunders
Ruth Langsford
Jo Whiley
Olivia Attwood
Trisha Goddard
Beth Rigby
Madonna
Jarvis Cocker
Joe Lycett

ETA: I mean, you’d watch right?!

GOAT26 · 19/01/2026 18:29

Please not Robbie Williams!

I like James Nesbitt but I can only see him as a traitor not a faithful.

Josh Widdicombe said he wanted to do it while series 1 was on.

I would like to see:
Sarah Milligan or Sophie Willan
Dawn French (would love to see her expressions & rocking the cloak!)
Michaela Coel
Sarah Lancashire
Greg James
Sean Keaveney
Louis Theroux
Hannah Fry (extremely clever and funny)
Tom Davis
Jamie Oliver (faithful obvs)
Luke Littler
Paula Radcliffe or Dame Kelly Holmes (to do amazing challenges)
Stormzy
& Alan Titchmarsh!

Whoever does this as a real job must have fun!

bizzey · 19/01/2026 18:40

Didn't Dawn French do a comic sketch of The Traitors for CIN /Red nose ? (Can't remember which)

She was Claudia and he fringe kept getting longer and longer .

Was very funny !

MrTwisterHasABlister · 19/01/2026 19:17

Can’t abide Dawn French on her Insta but Louis Theroux is a great shout.

Bouledeneige · 19/01/2026 19:29

As I mentioned on the previous thread I really couldn’t stand Stephen Fry, Clare Balding and Jonathan Ross on the first Celebrity series. But maybe having people I can’t stand like Dawn French, Tom Hiddlestone and Robbie Williams wouldn’t matter - if we can witness them being thrown out. Some super famous or A list people like Michelle O’Bama, Michael Fassbender and Cillian Murphy seem a bit optimistic?

My preference (some also mentioned before) of ones I like: Bob Mortimer , Esme, Harry Hill, Jack Dee, Adele, Keith Brymer, Judy Dench, Stormzy, Tom Basden (would be so good), Sharon Horgan, Daley Thompson, Jools Holland. I guess I’m not so good on younger people….
