He continued: “There will be suspicions that it’s going to be at least one of these guys, that we might form an alliance if we’re not broken apart.

“Particularly at the beginning when you have absolutely nothing to go on.
“And then you consider that a comedian won last year with Alan Carr disarming everyone with jokes the whole time.
“He has tainted us all!

“Even though it could obviously easily be three people who aren’t comedians…
“I don’t know how it works out, but if maths turns against us we’re in big trouble.”
They will be joined by Amol Rajan, Bella Ramsey, Dr Hannah Fry, James Blunt, Jerry Hall, Julie Hesmondhalgh, King Kenny, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Maya Jama, Michael Sheen, Michael Sheen, Myha’la, Richard E. Grant, Ross Kemp, Sebastian Croft and Sharon Rooney.
Celebrity Traitors will make its return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Thursday, October 1.
