Like most people with eyes, ears, a TV licence, and a floor-length cloak for spontaneous moments of spookiness and treachery hanging in their cupboard and a dream, the heat team are massive fans of The Traitors, so you can imagine our excitement when we learned that Celebrity Traitors was officially happening.
Thank f*ck, to be honest, because those series 3 withdraws symptoms are still very real.

The Celebrity Traitors rumour mill has been in full swing for months and months, but now, it appears the full cast-list has been revealed to the press and the BBC are are NOT kidding when they say CELEBRITY Traitors.
No shade, but this isn't your usual line-up of Love Island alumni, axed TOWIE stars and Apprentice finalists...

While many of these high-profile names have been circulating for weeks, The Sun were the first to confirm the 'full line-up' earlier this week, but bear in mind, the line-up is yet to be officially confirmed by the BBC.

Unfortunately, while we know the spin-off is in production, the BBC is yet to confirm an official release date. All we've been told is that it will be released in the 'autumn of 2025'.
How many episodes will we be getting?
According to the BBC, the celebrity edition will play out across nine nail-biting episodes.

Will the Celeb version be the same as the normal version?
You just want to know it all, don't you? Sadly, it's too soon to know for sure. But the phrase 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' comes to mind.
Saying that, a statement by Mike Cotton, Executive Producer for The Traitors, suggests that the overall format, location and host will all remain constant. He said, 'We are thrilled to be inviting some celebrities into our castle to come and play the game. Seeing famous faces navigate the round table or don the infamous green cloaks will be unmissable TV, and what a double treat for the fans with Series 4 also confirmed too. There's a whole lot of exciting treachery and deception yet to come from the Highlands… Claudia’s going to have to pack some extra knitwear.'

We do know that a regular series is 12 episodes long and the celebrity version will be just nine episodes long, so there's that. But remember, celebs are busier than us mere mortals.
