After many weeks of speculation it’s now official that a special celebrity series of The Traitors will be hitting our television screens later this year.
Once again a group of competitors will be sent to a spooky Scottish castle, split into Traitors and Faithfuls, then encouraged to lie their way to a cash prize - completing challenges along way to increase the amount of money they are playing for.
But instead of playing to boost their own bank balances, they’ll be looking to raise money for their favourite charity - with up to £100,000 up for grabs.
The cast has now been revealed, with 19 names released by programme chiefs - and they are a starry bunch.
Now the conversation starts as to who has the very specific set of skills to triumph in the castle - will Stpehen Fry’s intelligence be a help or a hindrance, who could get annoying after a while, and who wouldn’t be able to lie to (literally) save themselves?
The bookies already think they reckon who has the best chance of winner - here are the full odds, from those with a great chance to those with little hope of triumphing.
17. Alan Carr - 12/1
Chatty Man Alan Carr is one of the outsiders, priced at 12/1. He should bring plenty of laughs to the series. He's recently enjoyed doing up overseas properties with Amanda Holden and is also a successful standup when not hosting television shows. | Getty Images,
18. David Olusoga
One of the less well known faces in the Celebrity Traitors Castle will be David Olusoga. The British-Nigerian historian is Professor of Public History at the University of Manchester and a BAFTA winning film-maker. He's a 12/1 longshot for the Celebrity Traitors title. | AFP via Getty Images
19. Mark Bonnar - 12/1
The sole Scottish representative in Celebrity Traitors is actor Mark Bonnar. He's a 12/1 joint outsider to make it to the end of the series. The Edinburgh-born star is best known for his roles in 'Guilt', 'Shetland', 'Casualty', 'Psychoville' and 'Line of Duty' where he played DCC Mike Dryden. | Getty Images
