Celebrity Traitors kicks off tonight. We have compiled some theoretical odds based on experts opinions.
The Celebrity Traitors is back tonight. Claudia Winkleman returns to Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands with 21 famous faces, two more than last year, and each is playing for up to £100,000 for their chosen charity. The first series was the BBC's biggest show of 2025. Alan Carr won it as a Traitor after fooling a round table that included Stephen Fry, Clare Balding and David Olusoga.
This time the line-up includes Hollywood actors, a Love Island host and an unusually large group of comedians.
Michael Sheen heads our theore to win, with Bella Ramsey second favourite. Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan are among a crowded group of comics just behind.

Who's Favourite to Win Celebrity Traitors 2026?
Michael Sheen is our favourite at 5/1, which implies a chance of about 17%. The Welsh actor, famous for playing Tony Blair and David Frost, now hosts House of Games and calls himself a big fan of the show. He thinks his day job may count against him, though, because people assume he pretends for a living.
Bella Ramsey, star of Game of Thrones and The Last of Us, is second favourite at 6/1. Ramsey has said they've been playing a version of The Traitors since childhood and would love to be a Traitor, but admits to being a terrible liar.
Celebrity Traitors Odds: The Comedians
Romesh Ranganathan is third favourite at 7/1, and he's in the castle with his best friend Rob Beckett, who is 8/1. Ranganathan said he'd stab Beckett in the back "in a heartbeat". Beckett, for his part, reckons he "could be the fastest Traitor out in history".
James Acaster is also 8/1. He says the biggest lie he's ever got away with was telling his Off Menu co-host Ed Gamble, who now presents the companion show Uncloaked, that he wasn't doing it. Acaster wants to be a Faithful, and he expects the comedians to be the first ones under suspicion. Irish comic Joanne McNally, also 8/1, wants the opposite: "Who wants to be a Faithful? Boring."
Miranda Hart is 10/1 and would also rather be a Faithful, warning that "we can't let another stupid comedian as a Traitor win". Love Island host Maya Jama and Ross Kemp complete the group at 10/1. Jama says she'd love to play "a proper villain".
