Explained simply
The Celebrity Traitors is a reality game in which contestants try to identify hidden “traitors” among them, while the traitors work to avoid detection. Players can be banished from the game, and the last contestants left share a prize for charities they have chosen.
The programme’s second series began with 21 well-known contestants, including actor Sebastian Croft and comedian Romesh Ranganathan. Its format relies on players keeping their roles and decisions secret, so winners may have to avoid discussing the outcome until filming and broadcast allow them to do so.
The show brings together celebrity contestants and a large television audience, while its prize gives the game a charitable element. Its finale averaged 11.2 million live viewers, with further viewing possible through BBC iPlayer.
