Top Celebrities Clamoring to Join The Traitors: TV’s Hottest Show
As the current series of The Traitors continues to mesmerize audiences worldwide, a fresh wave of celebrity names is buzzing to join the next season of the hit reality show’s celebrity edition. The first UK celebrity series concluded with a surprising victory by Alan Carr, who outsmarted fellow celebrities like Stephen Fry, Jonathan Ross, Paloma Faith, and Celia Imrie. Now, even more stars are eager to sign up for the next thrilling season.
Raye Rules Out Participation
British singer Raye has made it clear that she won’t be joining the cast. In a recent interview with Kiss Radio, Raye expressed that the show would “destroy her” because she couldn’t handle “living a lie.”
Tom Hiddleston’s Enthusiasm
Marvel star Tom Hiddleston is one of the latest Hollywood hotshots to express interest in participating. While promoting the new series of The Night Manager on BBC Radio 2, Hiddleston praised the show’s format as “ingenious” and “completely compulsive,” even calling it “maybe the best television I’ve ever seen.”
Hiddleston shared his preference for being a faithful rather than a traitor: “I’d like to be a faithful because then you can play detective, right? And you know that your conscience is clean and your heart is pure, and you’re just watching and trying to figure people out.”
Courteney Cox’s Rumored Involvement
Friends star Courteney Cox was rumored to be part of the all-star cast for the first season. The 61-year-old US star, who is close friends with host Claudia Winkleman, even appeared in a Traitors-themed sketch with the British host. In the video, Courteney playfully asked Claudia if she could join the show, but Claudia shut down the idea, stating that celebrities couldn’t apply.
Keira Knightley’s Interest
Former contestant and British comedian Joe Wilkinson believes that his Christmas advert co-star, Hollywood actress Keira Knightley, would love to be on the show. The pair starred together in a recent Waitrose Christmas advert. Joe shared with the PA news agency that Keira was asking him about The Traitors during filming, indicating her interest in the show.
Keira has previously expressed her love for the show, telling Scott Mills on Radio 2 that she “loves” it “so much.”
Sylvester Stallone’s Potential Participation
Joe Wilkinson also suggested that Sylvester Stallone could be a potential contestant. “Either Keira Knightley or a Sly Stallone, or someone like that, that’s my prediction,” Joe said. He encouraged any Hollywood superstar reading his comments to join the show, emphasizing how much fun it is.
Anna Kendrick’s Visit to the Traitors Castle
Anna Kendrick is another strong contender for the next series. The actress has already visited the famous castle in Scotland where the show is filmed. Anna revealed her fandom for the show during a chat, where she begged the host of the US series, Alan Cumming, not to make her a traitor when they played a version of the game. Her detective skills proved successful as she caught a traitor, showcasing her potential for the real series.
