The Celebrity Traitors 2025 cast: Confirmed line-up and odds on who's most likely to win after four episodes
The 'Faithful' are dropping like flies!
It's all happening on The Celebrity Traitors. The show returns this evening (22nd October), and another 'Faithful' will be murdered, but who will it be?
So far, the Traitors (Jonathan Ross, Cat Burns and Alan Carr) have successfully avoided banishment in the first four episodes, and so have returned to the turret to discuss who they wanted to kill next. A few names came up including Charlotte Church, Kate Garraway and David Olusoga - and viewers will find out who has been killed off on Wednesday night's episode.
As the series continues, read on for everything you need to know about this year's cast, including our verdict on who we think is most likely to win - plus who's already been murdered and banished.
So far, although Jonathan Ross has heat on him, the Faithfuls have been unsuccessful in finding a Traitor - instead, they've banished three of their own at the round tables - first went Niko Omilana, then went Tameka Empson, and then Clare Balding.
Meanwhile, the Traitors have been given three opportunities to murder, with Alan murdering Paloma Faith in plain sight with the poison lily in episode two, followed by Tom Daley, who was too close to the truth. The Traitors then murdered Ruth Codd, who was also onto Jonathan.

Alan Carr - 'Traitor'
Age: 48
Job: Chat show host
Instagram: @chattyman
Chat show host Alan Carr has been confirmed for Celebrity Traitors. The comedian is best known for his show Alan Carr: Chatty Man, which he hosted from 2009 to 2017. Alan Carr is currently the favourite to win. The comedian has odds of 7/2 and a probability of 22.2 per cent.
"The Chatty Man certainly has quick wit and sharp social instincts to do well in the castle," Celebrity odds expert David James said.
"I have a feeling that he's the kind of player who’ll have everyone laughing while secretly plotting their downfall!"
Our verdict: Alan could either be the best 'Traitor' or the worst 'Traitor' the show has seen. We'd love to see him in the final, especially if it means more meme content.
Cat Burns - 'Traitor'
Age: 24
Job: Singer-songwriter
Instagram: @catburns
The Traitors' fan Cat Burns' dreams have come true, as the singer is one of the celebs taking part this year. Cat previously took to her TikTok account to tell her 2 million followers all about her love for the show.
Our verdict: Cat is a brilliant choice for a 'Traitor' in my eyes. I reckon she can go all the way! She's lowkey, she's cool and can easily just sail through to the final without suspicion.
Jonathan Ross - 'Traitor'
Age: 64
Job: TV presenter
Instagram: @mewossy
Jonathan Ross will take part in Celebrity Traitors later this year. Ross is a well-known TV figure, with a career spanning over three decades and could make the perfect Traitor.
Our verdict: Cat, Alan and Jonathan could be the trio we never knew we needed. As a chat show host, Jonathan knows how to talk to people and sway the conversation, which could keep the attention off him. The only issue I have with this pick is that he is who a lot of people would think would be a good 'Traitor' so maybe it was too obvious. We'll have to wait and see.
Kate Garraway - 'Faithful'
Age: 58
Job: Broadcaster
Instagram: @kategarraway
Kate Garraway is in this year's line-up. The presenter is best known for her work on ITV and is no stranger to a reality TV show, having taken part in Strictly Come Dancing back in 2008.
Our verdict: It's not looking very good for Kate. Despite being a 'Faithful', she's displaying some 'Traitors' energy. If she's not banished at the first round table, I'm sure Tom will try to get her out at the next one. Her days are numbered.
Stephen Fry - 'Faithful'
Age: 67
Job: Actor, broadcaster and comedian
Stephen Fry is one of the contestants in this year's game.
Our verdict: According to recent betting odds, Fry is in the top three most likely to win, with 9/2 and a probability of 18.2 per cent. We think he has what it takes to suss out the 'Traitors' lying amongst them.
Nick Mohammed - 'Faithful'
Age: 44
Job: Comedian and actor
Instagram: @nickmohammedy
Ted Lasso star Nick Mohammed joins the line for the BBC One show. He's known for playing Nathan Shelley, who has quite the evil streak, which could come in handy for Mohammed.
Our verdict: He's super smart, which could keep Nick in the game for longer as he'll be good in the challenges. But without a shield, the first murder could be risky for Nick.
Celia Imrie - 'Faithful'
Age: 72
Job: Actress
Instagram: @celia.imrie
Actress Celia Imrie is best known for starring in Calendar Girls and the Bridget Jones films. A renowned actress, we have high hopes for Celia on The Traitors and think she'll make an impressive Faithful.
Our verdict: Celia was on it from before the game officially started, so I think she'll be working hard to suss out the 'Traitors'.
Charlotte Church - 'Faithful'
Age: 39
Job: Singer
Instagram: @therealcharlottechurch
Singer and actor Charlotte Church is among the 19 celebs confirmed for Celebrity Traitors. We know she can sing, but can she read people and work out if they're a backstabbing liar?
Our verdict: She managed to find her shield really quickly, so I think Charlotte will be great in the challenges but maybe not so successful with spotting a 'Traitor'. So far she hasn't really been very vocal about who she suspects. Could be her way of staying under the radar, though.
Joe Wilkinson - 'Faithful'
Age: 50
Job: English comedian and actor
Instagram: @gillinghamjoe
Comedian Joe Wilkinson has been confirmed for Celebrity Traitors. Wilkinson started his comedy career in 2004 and has supported the likes of Alan Carr and Russell Howard. Another comedian and actor, this could give Joe an upper hand in the game. Plus, he knows Alan, so they'll both be able to spot if the other is lying.
Our verdict: Joe could be a good 'Traitor' hunter. I could see him being recruited later down the line because he's very chilled, so will be hard to spot.
Joe Marler - 'Faithful'
Age: 34
Job: Former rugby player
Instagram: @joemarler17
Former rugby player Joe Marler has been confirmed for this year's show. He's apparently hoping to show fans a different side to him, where he's known for his 18-year rugby career.
Our verdict: He's strong, which will give him an upper hand in the challenges, so I don't see the contestants banishing or murdering him anytime soon as they try to build the prize pot. But, as they get closer to winning the money, Joe could be out.
Lucy Beaumont - 'Faithful'
Age: 41
Job: Comedian
Instagram: @the_one_from_hull
British comedian Lucy Beaumont has been confirmed for Celebrity Traitors. She previously presented Channel 4’s Jon & Lucy’s Odd Couples alongside her former partner Jon Richardson.
Our verdict: As a comedian, we know Lucy can make others laugh, but will she be able to suss out a 'Traitor'? We're not convinced.
Mark Bonnar - 'Faithful'
Age: 56
Job: Actor
Instagram: @mark_bonnar
Actor Mark Bonnar will take on the ultimate game of deception later this year. Bonnar is best known for playing DCC Mike Dryden in Line of Duty and Max in Guilt.
Our verdict: As an actor, Mark can spot when someone is acting, which might give him an advantage in the game. He already suspects Tameka, although he's wrong about her.
David Olusoga - 'Faithful
Age: 55
Job: Historian
Instagram: @olusoga
BAFTA winning filmmaker and historian David Olusoga is part of the Celebrity Traitors line-up.
Our verdict: It's not looking good for Olusoga, who currently has a 4.8 per cent chance of winning the show. But, as a historian he has to do a lot of research and I think these skills could make him a really good 'Traitor' hunter. I wouldn't write him off just yet.
Clare Balding - 'Faithful' - Banished 3rd
Age: 39
Job: TV presenter and journalist
Instagram: @clarebalding
TV presenter and journalist has been confirmed forCelebrity Traitors. Balding is best known for interviewing and presenting for BBC Sport and Channel 4.
Our verdictL As an experienced journalist, we think Claire's interrogating skills could come in handy on the BBC One show.
Ruth Codd - 'Faithful' - Murdered
Age: 28
Job: Actress
Instagram: @ruthcodd
Actress Ruth Codd is part of this year's line-up. Codd is best known for appearing in Netflix's The Midnight Club. Her acting skills could give her an advantage in the game.
Our verdict: We're a little worried for Ruth. Niko pointed out that one young person has to be a 'Traitor', which puts him, her and Cat at risk. Obviously Cat won't be murdered, but I think Ruth could be in a dangerous position.
Tameka Empson ('Faithful') - Banished 2nd
Age:
Job: Actress
Instagram: @official_tameka_empson
EastEnders actress Tameka Empson is part of the Celebrity Traitors line-up. Empson is best known for playing Kim Fox on the BBC One soap.
Our verdict: Tameka is in the bottom three with a 4.8 per cent chance of winning the show and there's already been some suspicion on her - Mark noticed a change in her and thought she seemed "jittery". Could she be banished first?
Tom Daley ('Faithful') - Murdered
Age: 30
Job: Retired diver
Instagram: @tomdaley
Retired Olympic diver Tom Daley has been confirmed for Celebrity Traitors. He's known for winning, so we expect all the competitiveness from Daley.
Our verdict: He's a good swimmer and very athletic, which will give him the upper hand in challenges, but how good will he be at spotting the 'Traitors'? He already thinks he's sussed out the 'Traitors' game plan, but is unfortunately off!
Niko Omilana ('Faithful') - Banished 1st
Age: 27
Job: YouTuber
Instagram: @niko
YouTube sensation Niko Omilana is part of the Celebrity Traitors cast. He's known for his prank videos and work with the Sidemen. He ran as an independent candidate in the 2021 London mayoral election and 2024 UK general election.
Our verdict: Poor Niko could be out at the first roundtable. Now that the cast know Paloma was murdered in plain sight, they're convinced it was him because he gave her a hug on her way out of the Castle.
Paloma Faith ('Faithful') - Murdered 1st
Age: 43
Job: Singer, songwriter and actress
Instagram: @palomafaith
Singer Paloma Faith has been confirmed for this year's show. Having starred in St. Trinians, Youth, and more, we reckon Paloma's acting skills could help her pull off the perfect Traitor.
Our verdict: She guessed that Celia and Claire were the 'Traitors' while chatting to an actual 'Traitor' so we don't have high hopes for Paloma in the game unfortunately.
