There's good news for fans of The Traitors (so, basically all of us) as we should be getting not one, but two series of the increasingly iconic show in the next 12 months.

Not only is another series of the civillian series on the way, but BBC bosses have confirmed that the first-ever celebrity edition of the show is in the works as well.

So far, lots of famous faces have been rumoured to be taking part including Tom Daley, Rylan Clark and Clare Balding - but, of course, the line-up is yet to be confirmed.

As we eagerly await for the Celebrity Traitors cast to be announced, here are the celebs that we'd love to see involved. Producers, we hope you're reading this. Oh, and you're welcome.

Let’s be honest, there’s probably not a reality show in the world that wouldn’t be improved with addition of Gemma Collins. Her stint on Celebrity Big Brother back in 2016 is one of the best things we’ve ever seen and we’d bet our bottom dollar that she’d be just as iconic on Celebrity Traitors too.

If she was a Faithful, you just know that the GC wouldn’t rest until she’d weeded every last Traitor out of that castle, and if she happened to be selected as a Traitor, the mind games and trickery she’d pull off to throw the Faithfuls off the scent would have us in stitches.

The contestants will need some light relief from the ever-present threat of being murdered by the Traitors, and who better to provide it than iconic funnyman Alan Carr?

He’s already a BBC darling after appearing as a judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK and hosting quiz show Picture Slam so probably won’t take much convincing to sign up – and how funny would it be to hear his catchphrase, ‘It’s me, Alan,’ if he’s revealed as a Traitor.

Coleen Rooney

Okay, we know she's reportedly signed up to appear on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! but if three weeks in the jungle whets Coleen Rooney's appetite for reality TV then there's no better show for her to appear on than Celebrity Traitors.

Those Traitors would be quaking in their boots when Col starts putting her Wagatha Christie skills to good use, wouldn't they?

Rebekah Vardy

Sorry, but just imagine the scenes if Rebekah Vardy and Coleen were reunited on Celebrity Traitors. We're pretty sure it would break the internet even more than Coleen's ‘It’s......Rebekah Vardy’s account’ statement did.

RuPaul

We all know that RuPaul loves the UK and spends a lot of time of here when he's filming Drag Race UK, so we think he could be convinced to take part in Celebrity Traitors - and just imagine the glam looks he would serve both in and out of drag.

Oh, and if he wants to bring his BFF Michelle Visage along too then that's absolutely fine with us.

Courteney Cox

Having a huge Hollywood celebrity like Courteney Cox on Celebrity Traitors would be an excellent way to start off the show and she's besties with host Claudia Winkleman, so we reckon there's a good chance of it happening.

The Friends star has been heavily rumoured to be taking part for a while now, with a source telling The Sun, 'The fact the producers have a star from Friends in their sights shows the kind of calibre of famous faces Celebrity Traitors is aiming for.'

They added, 'Courteney has always been a fan of the show, particularly as the British version has her mate Claudia fronting it.'

David Beckham

Show bosses are reportedly set on signing up some huge A-list names, and let's face it, it doesn't get much more A-list than David Beckham, does it? We'd have a great time watching Becks try to figure out who the Traitors are.

Stephen Fry

No shade to anyone else on this list, but we definitely think that Stephen Fry's brains would be needed when it comes to working out who the Traitors are and apparently he's keen to take part as a telly insider recently revealed that he's signed up to appear on the series.

They told The Sun, 'Claudia put Stephen right at the top of celebs she’d want on The Traitors and Stephen has made it clear he’d be game. Stephen is a fan of the show and Claudia was desperate for him to be in it.

'No contracts have been signed yet — but he told the show’s bosses to name a time and date and he’ll be there.'

Natalie Cassidy

Given that the show is airing on the BBC, it's only right that they have an EastEnders star in the line-up and who better than the iconic Natalie Cassidy (aka Sonia Fowler) to take part? We can't imagine her getting up to no good, so she'd definitely be a Faithful.
