Celebrity Traitors set to return this month as Richard Osman appears to confirm start date

• Broadcaster Richard Osman appears to have accidentally revealed that the second series of The Celebrity Traitors will launch on 23 September during a live recording of The Rest Is Entertainment podcast in London.
• The disclosure occurred after last year’s finalist Joe Marler questioned the premiere date, prompting Osman to acknowledge the embargoed details and share that production feedback indicates an intense new season.
• Marler noted that the upcoming lineup approached the game with a noticeably higher level of competitiveness from the beginning, following the overwhelming success of the first series.
• A fresh group of 21 celebrities, including Michael Sheen, Maya Jama, Bella Ramsey, James Blunt, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, will compete in the Scottish Highlands for up to £100,000 for their chosen charities.
• The BBC reality competition returns following an extraordinarily successful debut run that became the most-watched television broadcast of 2025, culminating in a finale won by comedian Alan Carr that drew a peak audience of 15.4 million.
