Biblical! Liam Gallagher reveals he's been asked to appear on Celebrity Traitors 2026 and fans are mad for it
Fans are eager to know who'll be in the castle when filming starts in May…Liam Gallagher has become the latest famous face connected to Celebrity Traitors 2026, and fans are mad for it.
Late last year, the first-ever celebrity version of the iconic BBC show took the UK by storm. And with a fantastic first season line-up, including the incredible winner, Alan Carr, fans have high expectations for the second season.
So who can we expect to see heading into host Claudia Winkleman’s castle when filming stars in May? While the line-up hasn’t yet been confirmed, there’s been a hell of a lot of chatter, and we’re here for it…
A Supersonic signing? Liam Gallagher drops Celebrity Traitors 2026 bomb
Oasis star Liam Gallagher revealed over the weekend that he’s been approached to appear on Celebrity Traitors.
A fan tweeted the singer to ask: “Liam, would you go on The Traitors if they asked?” He sent social media into meltdown as he responded: “I’ve been asked.”
“You’d make a great Traitor,” one follower declared. “You’d bring so many viewers!” said another. “Do it!!!” another urged.
He’d certainly be a Supersonic signing…
Cheryl to call the shots?
Last month, it was reported that singer Cheryl Cole had been approached to appear in Celebrity Traitors season two.
A source told The Sun: “Cheryl is taking baby steps about returning to the limelight. Bosses know she would be a huge draw. They think she would be brilliant at playing the game. Especially as she is so straight-talking.”
The source claimed that she may turn it down due to the amount of time she’d need to be away from son Bear, eight. However, they added: “Bookers are keen for the best stars to take part and not reality-TV has-beens.”
David Mitchell for Celebrity Traitors season two?
Would I Lie To You? star David Mitchell has previous when it comes to telling porkies. And BBC bosses reckon this would make him a perfect addition to the Celebrity Traitors season two line-up.
A source told The Sun: “Producers think David would be a amazing as a contestant. Not only is he hilarious but he’s also super smart — in many ways he will remind viewers of Stephen Fry, who went down great with viewers in series one.
“No doubt David’s time on Would I Lie To You? will be both helpful and a hindrance when it comes to being at the roundtable.”
Steve Pemberton could join Celebrity Traitors
Another star rumoured to join the Celebrity Traitors line-up is actor and comedian Steve Pemberton. It’s believed that the 58-year-old BAFTA winner has been in talks with producers for the new series of Celebrity Traitors.
A TV insider told The Sun: “Signing Steve would fill the slot for a celebrity who is obsessed with mechanics behind the programme. It was a role filled last year by Jonathan Ross, who was a long-time devotee and become one of the programme’s ‘big dogs’.”
The source explained that he is a “sought-after candidate”.
Alison Hammond is reportedly in talks for Celebrity Traitors
One star who could be absolutely iconic on Celebrity Traitors is the one and only Alison Hammond. The This Morning star first rose to fame on Big Brother, so she isn’t a stranger to a reality show.
The Sun reported that Alison is in final talks to join the cast of Celebrity Traitors. A source said: “Alison is on the BBC’s hit list for Celebrity Traitors, and she is keen.”
Since the show began, Alison has been very vocal about her love for it, and has often admitted she would love to be on it. Although, she has said she would love to be a Faithful, but we think she would be just as iconic as Alan Carr as a Traitor.
Danny Dyer on Celebrity Traitors
Another huge name in the running is former EastEnders star Danny Dyer. There have been numerous reports that suggest he is reportedly signing up for the new series, especially after he declined the last one.
Danny has actually spoken about whether or not he would ever do Celebrity Traitors. And after being initially wary, it appears he would definitely be up for it. Speaking to his daughter, Dani Dyer, on their podcast, Live and Let Dyers, the star confirmed he is now up for taking part on the show.
He said: “They did sniff round me about it. It was originally a no from me because I hadn’t seen it. But I’m into it now. If you are going to do it, if you’re famous, it needs to be an indulgence project. You have to love the game.”
Daisy May Cooper
It’s believed that Daisy was actually supposed to be a part of the first series, alongside her brother, Charlie. But both of them had to pull out due to family commitments.
Now, though, according to The Sun, Daisy is once again in the running for Celebrity Traitors. And the star would definitely be iconic to watch with her comedic abilities.
Amanda Holden wants to go on Celebrity Traitors
TV star, and best friend of series one winner Alan Carr, Amanda Holden has been rumoured to take part.
According to The Sun, Amanda is in the BBC producers’ interests, if her schedule will allow it – as the show films at the same time as Britain’s Got Talent’s live shows. However, fans weren’t too happy when her name was mentioned in relation to the show…
Ruth Jones
When series two of Celebrity Traitors was confirmed, it was reported that BBC had already started approaching potential stars. Gavin & Stacey star, Ruth Jones was immediately eyed-up by producers.
A source said she “would be an incredible addition to the cast if she can fit it into her schedule”.
Tom Hiddleston would be a huge signing for Celebrity Traitors
One huge signing could be Hollywood star Tom Hiddleston. While producers haven’t said anything about getting him on the show, Tom himself has put his name in the running.
Speaking recently on a BBC Radio 2 appearance, Tom admitted: “The celebrity one would be amazing. I think the whole show, the format is just the most ingenious thing, isn’t it? It’s completely compulsive. Maybe the best television I have ever seen.
“If you are a Traitor it’s more of an acting exercise, right? It’s a game. You have to keep deceiving and cloaking. Basically lying to people. It would be interesting though. I don’t know. I think being a Faithful would be more of a curiosity scratcher somehow.”
So, with Tom revealing he wants to do the show, perhaps the BBC will snatch him up immediately.
