“The people that we have spoken to are presenters, actors, experts -they all think they can play the game and they know what to do.
“But of course that’s the joy of the format – you come in thinking you can nail it.
“So I’m really looking forward to celebrities making huge mistakes and falling on their swords. But I think it’ll be great fun.”
The Traitors, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, first aired on BBC One in 2022 with two series being aired so far.
