Celebrity Traitors series 2 cast: queer stars confirmed

Bella Ramsey, Joe Lycett, Myha'la and Sebastian Croft are all heading to the Scottish Highlands when Celebrity Traitors returns to BBC One this autumn.

The BBC dropped the Celebrity Traitors series two cast on 2 May and it is a lot to take in. Twenty-one celebrities, filming now at Ardross Castle, airing later this year. The show pulled nearly 15 million viewers in its first run last autumn, with Alan Carr's winning moment becoming one of those rare bits of television that everyone seemed to watch at the same time. Series two has a lot to live up to. Looking at this cast, it probably will.

For queer viewers, there is plenty to get excited about. Bella Ramsey, who uses they/them pronouns and has spoken openly about not feeling comfortable with labels around either gender or sexuality, heads to the Highlands fresh off The Last of Us. Joe Lycett, who identifies as bisexual and pansexual and has never been shy about either, is one of the sharpest comedians currently working in Britain. Myha'la, who publicly identifies as queer and bi, has spent the last few years being one of the best things about Industry. And Sebastian Croft, who identifies as queer and co-founded the Queer Was Always Here initiative in 2025 to raise funds for LGBTQIA+ refugees, rounds out a genuinely strong queer contingent.

The rest of the cast includes Michael Sheen, Richard E. Grant, Maya Jama, Julie Hesmondhalgh, Miranda Hart, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Romesh Ranganathan, James Acaster, Jerry Hall, and 21 more. Claudia Winkleman returns as host. The companion show Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked, hosted by Ed Gamble, is also coming back.

Celebrity Traitors series two airs on BBC One in autumn 2026. No exact date yet. Keep an eye on the BBC website for updates.
