After months of eager anticipation, the highly anticipated second season of The Celebrity Traitors has finally arrived.
The beloved series, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, sees 21 famous faces descend upon the iconic Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands and battle it out for the chance to win up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice. Faithfuls are tasked with trying to seek out the murderous Traitors among them, who are actively killing off players in the middle of the night.
