The Return of Celebrity Traitors: Stars Eyeing New Series
Following the success of its inaugural season, the reality TV show “Celebrity Traitors” has sparked renewed interest among celebrities. The show, which combines elements of loyalty and betrayal, captivated audiences with its strategic gameplay and high-stakes drama. Despite the recent conclusion of the first series, several prominent stars are reportedly lining up to take part in a potential second installment.
Gareth Southgate: A Fan Turned Contender?
Former England manager Gareth Southgate has long been associated with the show’s spirit. In an interview with Virgin Radio, he teased his possible participation, saying, “Well…” before laughing and fistbumping host Chris Evans. Evans urged him to take part by stating, “They’ve reached out.
I love it! Gareth, you’ve got to do it!” Southgate’s involvement could bring a unique perspective to the show, as he previously played games with his England team and backroom staff during their time in Qatar for the 2022 World Cup.
Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary: Considering Their Roles
This Morning co-hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary hinted at their potential participation in a segment on ITV. When asked about joining the show, Hammond coyly responded, “I’m not going to tell you that, just in case I do it.” She went on to say, “I think I’d be a good faithful, but when you come across too enthusiastic, it shines a light on you and people think you’re a Traitor.” Despite their cautious approach, Hammond’s fans are already petitioning for her involvement in the next series. One fan wrote, “Season two with Alison Hammond needed NOW,” while another expressed hope by stating, “Petition for Alison Hammond to be on the next series of Celebrity Traitors.”
Mike Tindall: Royal Family Involvement?
Former rugby player Mike Tindall, married to Zara Tindall, granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, showed interest in joining the show. During an appearance on This Morning, he said, “Having watched that, I think I would definitely enjoy doing that.” Tindall’s involvement could add a layer of intrigue given his royal connection and previous experience with reality TV through his participation in “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!”
Danny Dyer: From Reluctant Participant to Potential Star?
Former EastEnders star Danny Dyer initially turned down an offer for the first series but now considers joining future editions. In an interview on his podcast, he revealed that he was initially hesitant due to not having seen the show and finding it too complicated. However, after reconsidering, Dyer expressed interest if the financial incentives are right.
He commented, “It’s actually just about manipulating people and a lot of lying. If the money’s right, I might get involved in the next series.”
The excitement surrounding a potential new season of “Celebrity Traitors” underscores its enduring appeal to the public. As more celebrities express interest, fans eagerly await confirmation from BBC producers that the show will indeed return for a second installment.
