Celeb Traitors winner ‘revealed’ just hours after line-up confirmed – can you guess who?
THE first Celebrity Traitors winner has been “confirmed” – just hours after the official line-up was revealed.
A variety of famous faces will battle it out in a spin off of Claudia Winkleman‘s hit BBC show, with bosses confirming the contestants in first-look images.
The Sun was first to reveal the star-studded cast – which includes a Line Of Duty actor and a Bridget Jones star – yet a top celeb has already been picked to triumph.
It comes despite the fact none of the 19-strong stars has been revealed as a Traitor or a Faithful as yet.
Broadcaster Stephen Fry, 67, British actor Nick Mohammed, 44, Olympian Tom Daley, 30 and Six Nations sports ace Joe Marler are just some of the names confirmed.
And bookies Betfred have now exposed the “real” winner.
They told The Sun: “Currently, Nick Mohammed is leading the betting markets as the early favourite to win the series, with odds of 7/4.
“Other frontrunners include Celia Imrie, who follows closely at 2/1, and Tom Daley, currently sitting at 5/2.”
Meanwhile, popstar Paloma Faith, 43, who was revealed to be taking part by The Sun last October, is the top tipped Traitor.
She is the favourite to be unmasked as an unfaithful contestant, with odds of 11/8.
Yet diving ace Tom is also in the mix for a deceptive role, with odds of 6/4.
GAME PLAY
The celebrities will play the ultimate game of detection, backstabbing and trust, in the hope of winning a cash prize of up to £100K for a charity of their choice.
Host 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.”
In a sneak peek to the new series, the BBC dropped a video which revealed the cast.
Their faces appeared in portraits and were seen hanging on the wall of the famous Traitors castle.
How does The Traitors work and who hosts it?
The Traitors first launched in the UK in 2022, after the Dutch format was acquired by the BBC.
Claudia Winkleman is the show’s host, and has now hosted all three series to date.
How does it work?
It is a reality game show that involves 22 contestants, and some of them are chosen to be The Traitors.
The Traitors sees a group of contestants taking part in “the ultimate game of truth and deception”.
The group of contestants are competing for the chance to walk away with a huge cash prize.
While navigating through a series of challenges, the team are also tasked with figuring out who the Traitors are in the group (usually three contestants).
Each night, the Traitors gather to “eliminate” one of the Faithful, removing them from the competition
Meanwhile, the traitors can be “banished” if they’re successfully outed as a traitor by a faithful.
The winners of the show are either the Traitor who remains undetected or the Faithfuls if they successfully eliminate all the Traitors.
The prize sees the winner could get £120K.
At the end of the trailer, the Beeb revealed that the spin-off will kick off this Autumn.
Viewers are also convinced three more stars will join the series.
Just this week, the civilian series of the reality show was snubbed at the TV Baftas – leaving fans outraged.
