Paired with her tight-lipped secrecy on her Patreon channel – where she has refused to say anything beyond calling the show “wild” – viewers are convinced bosses are shielding a champion to protect an endgame storyline.

When will Celebrity Traitors 2026 series 2 air on BBC?

Celebrity Traitors will make its return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Thursday, October 1.

Episodes will air two nights a week on Thursday and Friday, starting at 8pm – but the premiere will be an extra-long instalment, which will no doubt delight fans.

There will also be a new bonus special airing on the night of the show’s launch.

Traitor or Faithful? Claudia Decides will be available on October 1 from 9.15pm on BBC iPlayer.

Filming at Ardross Castle wrapped earlier this summer, with BBC content bosses teasing plenty of tears, shock backstabs, and high drama.

Ed Gamble will also return with companion show Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked, airing on BBC Two immediately after each episode.
