Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, the game follows the celebrity contestants – the majority of who are known as faithfuls – as they try to seek out the murderous traitors among them, who kill off players in the middle of the night.
The broadcaster revealed its star-studded line-up on Saturday and shared a video on its Instagram page showing a number of drivers waiting at arrivals each holding one of the roundtable name slates revealing the stars’ names on them.
As has become famous on the show, some of the stars’ names included hearts next to them or were misspelled, including Rob Beckett’s which was spelled “Rob Bucket”, before Winkleman could be heard saying: “Welcome to the Highlands. The Celebrity Traitors coming this autumn.”
Industry actress Myha’la Herrold is among the stars joining the series and will appear alongside American supermodel Jerry Hall and Saltburn actor Richard E Grant.
A number of comedians will also join the second series of the spin-off show, including James Acaster, Joe Lycett and Joanne McNally.
They will face singer-songwriter James Blunt, former Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock, actress Miranda Hart and Love Island presenter Maya Jama in a bid to catch the treacherous traitors.
Others joining the line-up include Coronation street star Julie Hesmondhalgh, broadcaster Amol Rajan, and Scottish actress Sharon Rooney.
