How to watch The Celebrity Traitors from anywhere - stay Faithful and stream every episode online
It’s become *the* television event of the year, and here’s how you needn’t miss a moment
From Claudia Winkleman’s now-iconic wardrobe to the thrill of watching celebrities make a fool of themselves, The Celebrity Traitors has become simply must-see TV - and it’s back for a second series.
The second celebrity edition started airing in the UK on October 1. This year, the likes of actor Richard E. Grant, comedian Miranda Hart and Love Island host Maya Jama make up the cast of hopeful Faithfuls and treacherous Traitors.
Throughout the series, the chosen Traitors must ‘murder’ a Faithful each night, all while avoiding being banished in the nail-biting roundtable. As well as wild accusations, brazen ‘murders in plain sight’ and more, the celebrities also create meme-worthy moments taking part in challenges to raise money for the prize pot.
If, at the end of the series, a Traitor has avoided detection, they will take the whole prize pot for their chosen charity. If the Faithful get their act together and there’s no Traitors left at the end, they will split the prize pot amongst their charities.
Whether you’ve got a few episodes to catch up on or you’re desperate not to miss out on a moment, here’s all you need to keep up with the series…
