After months of speculation, The Celebrity Traitors line-up is finally here… and with Stephen Fry and Charlotte Church leading the way, you won’t be disappointed.

The cast photos with their idiosyncratic angles have been assembled on the Scottish castle wall, waiting to see which will be dropped to the floor first by host Claudia Winkleman.

The BBC One reality show smash has assembled a line-up of 19 famous faces, including household names like Alan Carr and Kate Garraway, to decamp via steam train to the Scottish Highlands.

Alongside the roster, the BBC has shared a teaser to whet fan appetites ahead of the nine-part release this autumn. In the clip, the table is fully laid for a classic Traitors breakfast scene, complete with a nearby framed portrait of a resplendent Claudia.

As the camera zooms over photos of the actors, comedians and singers taking part, she can be heard telling fans: ‘Look at all those famous faces. Smiling. Popular. Talented. Clever. Respected. 

‘All hoping that we’ll play nicely because they’re celebrities. They couldn’t be more wrong.’

Claudia added in a statement from the BBC: ‘We’re incredibly lucky these brilliant people have said yes. I’d love to say we’ll take it easy on them and they’ll just wander round the castle and eat toast for a couple of weeks but that would be a lie.’

The celebrities will be divided up into the Traitors and the Faithful in the hopes of winning a cash prize up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.

So who exactly will be walking through the castle doors and go head to head at the roundtable? Here’s the full list of the 2025 line-up:

Who’s in the cast of Celebrity Traitors 2025? Alan Carr Alan Carr will likely be at home on The Traitors (Picture: David M. Benett/Getty Images)

Comedian and Interior Design Masters host Alan Carr is first up on the star-studded list to enter the castle and vie for the cash prize. No stranger to reality TV, Carr will likely be at home on The Traitors. 

He might even have something of an edge, as a self-professed Agatha Christie obsessive. Carr explored his literary heroine and her famous characters  Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot on the 2022 show Alan Carr’s Adventures With Agatha Christie.

Cat Burns, 24, is a singer-songwriter and will be the youngest celebrity in the castle.

We know she’s clued up on The Traitors after featuring in the BBC’s social media watch-along for the latest season of the show. 

Celia Imrie Celia Imrie is also in the line-up (Picture: Lia Toby/Getty Images)

Bridget Jones actor Celia Imrie is an inspired addition to the line-up, as she’s set to star in the film adaptation of Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club book.

Perhaps she learnt a few clues about solving murder mysteries while filming?

Charlotte Church Charlotte Church makes a reality TV return. (Picture: Andrew Benge/Redferns)

Next up is another phenomenal name in showbiz: Charlotte Church.

The 39-year-old singing powerhouse certainly knows how to keep a secret, after appearing on The Masked Singer, and so could be in contention for a spot as a Traitor.

Clare Balding Clare Balding is an Agatha Christie fan (Picture: Ashley Allen/Getty Images for RLWC2021)

Sports journalist and broadcaster Clare Balding is the fifth celebrity in the line-up.

Like Alan Carr, she’s a fan of the murder mystery maven Agatha Christie and even visited Christie’s holiday home – and the inspiration of one of her stories – as part of the travel series Tales from the Riverbank. 

David Olusoga David Olusoga is another addition to the line-up (Picture: Kate Green/Getty Images)

Esteemed historian David Olusoga has an illustrious career presenting historical documentaries under his belt.

So can he add another accolade and conquer the inaugural Celebrity Traitors? 

Joe Marler Joe Marler has retired from international rugby (Picture: Shaun Botterill/Getty Images)

Former England rugby player Joe Marler, 34, retired from international rugby last year.

No stranger to elite levels of competition, he is now set to take on a different type of sport, vying for the Celebrity Traitors win. 

Joe Wilkinson Joe Wilkson is also confirmed for the show. (Picture: George Gottlieb/BAFTA via Getty Images)

Offbeat comedian Joe Wilkinson is fresh from his stint in the Last One Laughing house, where he was one of the first comedians out of the game.

Perhaps he will have a better go of it at the roundtable in the Scottish castle, where laughing is at least allowed.

Jonathan Ross Jonathan Ross will also be heading to Scotland (Picture: Dave J Hogan/Centrepoint/Getty Images)

Renowned presenter Jonathan Ross is used to being the one on hosting duties for The Jonathan Ross Show or sussing people out on the judging panel for The Masked Singer.

These gigs could stand him in good stead in the castle, where the ability to judge who’s who will prove key.

Kate Garraway Kate Garraway will return to reality TV screens. (Picture: Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images)

Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway is the next name in this treacherous game.

Garraway went into the I’m A Celebrity jungle back in 2019 and came in fourth place, so could do even better with a second go at a reality show gong.

Lucy Beaumont Lucy Beaumont is going on Celebrity Traitors. (Picture: Ashley Coombes/Shutterstock for)

Comedian Lucy Beaumont will be replacing Hull with Scotland this autumn.

She might be aiming to improve on her last-place score on the 16th series of Taskmaster and avoid being the first to leave the castle.  

Mark Bonnar Mark Bonnar is no stranger to playing detective (Picture: Euan Cherry/BAFTA/Getty Images for BAFTA)

Mark Bonnar is no stranger to a mystery, having starred in Shetland, Unforgotten and Line of Duty, among many other projects.

Playing the part of a detective could make the game of figuring out the Traitors from the Faithful a bit easier.

Nick Mohammed Nick Mohammed joins the line-up (Picture: David M. Benett/Dave Benett/Getty Images for Apple)

Ted Lasso actor and comedian Nick Mohammed has already been singled out by Richard Osman on his podcast The Rest is Entertainment as one to watch.

We’ll have to wait and see if this prediction turns out to be on the money.

Niko Omilana Niko Omilana is a YouTuber and influencer (Picture: Ben Montgomery/Getty Images)

British YouTuber and influencer Niko Omilana might be familiar to fans of the Sidemen charity matches, or even those completely across the independent candidates in local elections – he ran in the 2021 mayoral election and the 2024 general election. 

Since politics hasn’t panned out yet, Omilana might yet have more luck competing at the roundtable. 

Paloma Faith  Paloma Faith will make her reality TV debut. (Picture: Ian West – Pool / Getty Images)

Singer-songwriter Paloma Faith will make her reality TV debut as a competitor on Celebrity Traitors, having previously been a coach on The Voice UK.

Perhaps she will change her mind about whether ‘only love can’t hurt like this’ after experiencing the backstabbing that the castle comes with…

Ruth Codd Ruth Codd stars in Netflix’s The Midnight Club (Picture: Jason Mendez/Getty Images for Netflix)

Irish actor Ruth Codd is best known for her role as Anya in Netflix’s The Midnight Club, a part she said that she only landed ‘by accident’, after TV bosses came across her TikTok videos talking about her disability.

Since then, Codd has appeared in The Fall of the House of Usher and is set to make her film debut in How To Train Your Dragon this summer, before she takes on the Celebrity Traitors this autumn.

Stephen Fry Stephen Fry is a national treasure (Picture: Sebastian Reuter/Getty Images)

The national treasure himself. It turns out the rumours are true because multi-hyphenate brainbox Stephen Fry is indeed among the confirmed line-up.

After years puzzling it out as the host of QI, Fry will be able to turn his significant wits to this game of cat and mouse. Definitely one to watch. 

Tameka Empson  Tameka Empson is taking a break from Walford (Picture: Mike Marsland/WireImage)

Fresh from Albert Square, the EastEnders star will be the final actor rounding out the line-up for 2025. 

Empson will be taking a break from Walford and her role as Kim Fox to compete for the charity cash prize.

Tom Daley Tom Daley has retired from diving. (Picture: Clive Rose/Getty Images)

The five-time Olympic medallist is set to take a new kind of plunge this year, after retiring from professional diving.

There couldn’t be a better setting than the Scottish Highlands castle for Daley, who will have ample opportunity to show off his array of handmade knitted jumpers in the nippier weather. He might even give Claudia a run for her money.

The Celebrity Traitors will air on BBC One and iPlayer this Autumn.
