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…

How to watch The Celebrity Traitors from anywhere in the world
If you’re going to be away from home or your usual set up during this year’s series, you don’t have to worry about having the surprises spoiled on social media. There’s a way you can keep up with the action as it airs, even if you’re outside the UK.
You can still keep up with every twist, turn and traitorous murder with the use of a Virtual Private Network – a VPN.
A VPN allows you to change your IP address to that of the area of what you want to watch, meaning you can tune in to the show, even if you’re not there.
Our sister site, TechRadar, has tested all of the major VPN services and they rate Nord to be the absolute best.
They say, “It’s compatible with all of your devices, supports most streaming services, and ranks among the fastest. You can even install it on devices like an Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, and PlayStation. So for a one-stop-shop, you can’t go wrong with Nord.”
