What are the rules of Celebrity Traitors 2025?
The contestants live together in a castle and work together to take on tasks to add cash to the prize pot.
The complicated bit is that three of the contestants (initially at least) are secret Traitors, who are trying to elimiate the remaining ‘Faithful’ players to bag the money for themselves.
Each night The Traitors meet in secret to pick one of The Faithful to ‘murder’, with that contestant leaving the game immediately. The following day all the players meet around a round table to banish somebody they think is one of The Traitors – who then reveals which side they actually belong to.
Once a traitor has been successfully ‘banished’ the reamining Traitors may be given the option to ‘recruit’ another Traitor.
At the end of the game, if only The Faithful remain they will share the money in the prize pot. If one of The Traitors remains, that person will claim all the cash.
There’s every chance there will also be some fiendish twists to come.
