How To Watch The Celebrity Traitors Online
Watch The Celebrity Traitors: Preview
Hark, who goes there? Just a bunch of TV-friendly stars sneaking into Ardross Castle under the cover of dark, ready to outwit, betray, and murder as part of this celebrity version of the beloved BBC series. Yes, for the first time in the show’s history, the impeccably dressed Claudia Winkleman is welcoming her A-list friends to the Scottish Highlands, where the “Faithful” and “Traitors” among them will compete to secure £100,000 for charity. Read on below to find out how to watch The Celebrity Traitors online with BBC iPlayer, 100% free and from anywhere in the world.
The BBC’s The Traitors instantly caught the public’s imagination when it debuted in 2022. And miraculously, it’s still gaining in popularity, with the latest series watched by around 10 million viewers per episode. Only time will tell if the celebrity spin-off is as rapturously received. Personally, we’re psyched to see how these renowned athletes, comedians, actors, and broadcasters deal with the pressure-cooker situation of constant scrutiny by their VIP peers: whether they’re grilled over the Round Table or having their reaction monitored during breakfast following the morning news about the latest murder.
One might expect The Celebrity Traitors to be more tongue in cheek than usual. After all, its lineup includes TV presenter Jonathan Ross, gold medal-winning Olympian Tom Daley, comedian and TV host Alan Carr, and Britain’s best-loved brainbox, Sir Stephen Fry, all of who are aware of their own ubiquity as well as that of the series. But we’re convinced that, once Claudia has tapped her “Traitors” and the hooded cowls come up, it’ll be as teeth-gnashing intense as always.
Maybe even more so. For one thing, these celebs are so well profiled that the “Traitors” will have to work harder to pull the wool over their contestants’ eyes (they can’t lie about their job or try a different accent like our civilians can) and therefore avoid banishment at the Round Table. Though, please let Alan Carr be one of the few recruited to Team Saboteur. “Maybe I’ve got a dark side” he purrs in the series trailer. Maybe…But the thought of him struggling to hold back guffaws as he’s accused of being a scheming traitor sounds too entertaining a proposition miss out on.
Between this and an upcoming fourth season in early 2026, the BBC’s Head of Entertainment is convinced that the latest additions to the franchise will “take the series to a whole new level.” So, faithful viewers: brace yourself for more unmissable entertainment, as we explain how to watch how to watch The Celebrity Traitors online and from anywhere with a VPN.
