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.

Also think these would be great
Lucy Punch
Tamsin Greig
Mark Heap
Ade Edmondson
Miranda Hart

Paul Ritter would have been brilliant but alas 😔

Richard Osman said he was asked but turned it down.

I came on here to say that. Of course he might change his mind with the success of S1.

Wonderknicks · 19/01/2026 19:51

Caroline Quentin would be good

Silverbirchleaf · 19/01/2026 19:58

In the ‘intelligent female spot’

  • Lucy Wosley
  • Suzie Dent
  • Rachel Riley

Kate Humble and/or Michaela Strachan

Steve Backshall

Adrian Lester - as he was boss on tv series ‘ Hustle’

Philip Glenister -

Bouledeneige · 19/01/2026 20:00

I like the Steve Backshall and Philip G suggestions. I’d add Dominic Sandbrook but he wouldn’t do it.

CaveMum · 19/01/2026 20:12

I think Ed Balls and George Osborne are both fans but also admitted they (alongside any politician) would probably end up being the first to be banished/murdered!

I’d hate for them, or Johnson, or someone like Piers Morgan to do it. I don’t want anyone in there where it feels like they’ve been put in to be contentious.

Obviously not everyone will like all the celebrities, but none of the first series were obviously “ooh they’ll go in and stir the pot and divide the audience” type people, and I liked that.

GOAT26 · 19/01/2026 21:08

Going with Friday Night Dinner suggestions Simon Bird would also be good.

Agree no politicians should be allowed but Prof John Curtice the expert on voting practices would be great, he could analyse what they were all up to!

TheAphrodite · 19/01/2026 21:11

daisy may cooper and her brother charlie, they'd be hilarious

Well he couldn't have been more categorical when this was discussed on The Rest is Entertainment.

FairViewRosie25 · 19/01/2026 21:38

Oo Phil Glenister I love that man

APurpleSquirrel · 19/01/2026 21:58

Tom Hiddleston would be good.
Hugh Laurie - they had Stephen Fry so…
John Oliver
Mary Beard
Dara O’Briain
Alex Horne
Gillian Anderson
Ncuti Gatwa
Gwendoline Christie
Judi Love

Victoria Coren-Mitchell would be good but the problem for her would be that the other celebs will be aware that she is a champion Poker player. She'd be banished at the first opportunity.

Great shout on Alex Horne - he’d be pure chaos!

IVotedForYourself · 19/01/2026 22:34

Hmm, maybe we need to get the other Victoria and David on board! 😮

Richard Osman said he was asked but turned it down.

He said he would only do it if he was a Traitor, so that rules him out completely for any subsequent series.

Another vote for Bob Mortimer. Andy Murray is another good shout, as is Lucy Worsley.

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

She would be checking out those seams on the cloaks !

Edited to add more .

Edited

Ian Hislop would be great, he has a long track record of wheedling out shift people, but I don't think he would touch it, he's never done any celebrity stuff. Paul Merton might though, he would be good, it needs some intelligent people on there.

Not Judi Love, she's been everywhere recently and her screeching drives me mad.

double0seven · 21/01/2026 13:22

Esme Young ( GB Sewing Bee)
Sarah Ferguson
Craig Revel Horwood Darling
Luke "The Nuke" Littler

IVotedForYourself · 21/01/2026 13:28

Reece Shearsmith 🤗

OP posts:
LittlePotteryBird · 21/01/2026 13:36

Danny Dyer, Diane Morgan, Victoria and David CM, Bob Mortimer, Louis Theroux, Julie Walters, Michael Palin. Maybe a slightly thick footballer like Jack Grealish or Cole Palmer.
Edited to add more women: Davina, Sara Cox, Anna Ptaszynski (from my favourite podcast No Such Thing As A Fish), Kate Winslet (I can dream).

Oooh I like the idea of picking ourselves lol! Here’s my pipe dream (I know there’s no way we’d get all/most of these) whilst trying to stick mostly to people really known in the UK - there would be others I’d pick but as global stars I’m thinking it would be a no

Kylie Minogue
Robbie Williams
Lisa Jewell
Matt Smith
Emma Watson
Trevor Macdonald
Idris Elba
Richard Armitage
Dua Lipa
Ant & Dec
Geri Halliwell
Prince Harry 🤣🤣🤣
Chris Hemsworth (ok I know I was trying to avoid the mega stars but pretty please?)
Shemar Moore
Jesse Williams
Britney Spears
Dean Koontz

Reece Shearsmith 🤗

Yes! Or Steve Pemberton, both would be class!

LostThestral · 21/01/2026 15:07

Ricky Gervais
Elton John
Gordon Ramsey
Jeremy Clarkson
Lewis Capaldi
Jimmy Carr
Ruth Jones
Lois Theroux
Gemma Collins
Sandi Toksvig
Sarah Millican
Adele

I don't necessarily like them all but think it would be an entertaining group of people

wizzler · 21/01/2026 15:17

Can you imagine Miriam Margolyes on it ?!
Seb Coe
James Norton
Rory McIlroy
Paul Merton
martin Lewis
Davina
