The Celebrity Traitors: When does it end and will there be a second series?
Now it's here, we don't want the BBC show to finish!The Celebrity Traitors has already got the nation gripped – but viewers are worrying about when the series ends as a result.
Instead of members of the public, the spin-off series has seen 19 famous faces take over Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands.
The celebrities have already dug their own graves, some have laid in coffins and one has even committed ‘murder’. But when does The Celebrity Traitors end? And will there be series 2? Here’s what we know.
The Celebrity Traitors: Series 2
The BBC is yet to officially confirm a second series of The Celebrity Traitors. But current Traitor, Jonathan Ross, has already let slip that planning for Celebrity Traitors season 2 is already underway.
Jonathan let the cat out of the bag during an appearance on his and daughter Honey’s podcast Reel Talk. He said to Honey: “I know they’re already planning a second celebrity version. I know because I’ve had two celebrity friends of mine call me and say, ‘I’ve been approached – is it good to do, is it bad to do?'”
Unfortunately Jonathan then ended up in a bit of a pickle with his next comment. He said: “I’m giving them the benefit of my experience, which was I didn’t enjoy it.”
Jonathan went on to say how he found constantly lying “wearing”. He added: “I’m a Traitor, that’s why. I found the lying really wearing, it left me feeling increasingly uncomfortable.”
Hours later, Jonathan ended up backtracking and insisted he was NOT “discouraging” his showbiz friends from taking part.
Who has already left The Celebrity Traitors?
So far, The Celebrity Traitors has only had one departure – but a second…and third are imminent. Singer Paloma Faith was the first star to be ‘murdered’ in the show. She was bumped off by her good friend Alan Carr.
The comedian, who is a Traitor with Jonathan and singer Cat Burns, was told he had to kill in plain sight. He saw Paloma off by rubbing his hands on the petals of a ‘poisonous lily’ before touching her face.
Unfortunately, Paloma has not taken it well. In spin-off BBC2 show, Uncloaked, she blasted Alan for “betraying” her. Oh dear!
The second episode ended on a big cliffhanger, with the celebrities sitting at the Round Table. They were midway through giving their votes on who they think are the Traitors when the show ended.
Episode 3 will see the celebrity accused most of being a Traitor banished from the show – and things aren’t looking good for Good Morning Britain star Kate Garraway. The Traitors will also be expected to kill off at least one more celebrity Faithful this week.
When does The Celebrity Traitors end?
The BBC hasn’t confirmed when The Celebrity Traitors ends. The series started on Wednesday October 8 and comprises of nine episodes. It airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays, meaning it is due to finish on Wednesday November 5.
BUT, will the semi final really take place on Thursday October 30? And will fans then be left hanging a painful six days for the final?
There has been claims that Friday October 31 has been set aside for the Celebrity Traitors’ finale. Going out on the spookiest night of the year would be rather fitting. But on X one TV critic claimed: “By the way, there’s a lot of speculation that the final of #CelebrityTraitors is on Halloween (Friday 31st), but a senior executive tells me that it won’t be.”
If Celebrity Traitors does not end up finishing on October 31, it would leave Guy Fawkes Night free for a very explosive final episode. The TV schedules are set to be released any day, so keep checking back and we will clear this up as soon as we know!
