Vogue Williams has shared her excitement over her pal and podcast co-host Joanne McNally appearing on The Celebrity Traitors – but says she isn’t a very good ‘liar’.
The Dubliner is among the 21 stars heading into the infamous Scottish castle in the Highlands for a chance to win a cash prize of up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.
Joanne will join actor Michael Sheen, EastEnders’ Ross Kemp, and The Last of Us star Bella Ramsey as well as Jerry Hall and Richard E. Grant on the BBC One show, which is hosted by Claudia Winkleman.
Vogue revealed to fans that she spoke to Joanne just before she entered the Scottish Castle, saying she will be ‘glued’ to the show when it airs in August.
She said on social media: ‘I spoke to Joanne today, and when I say I’m excited, like Joanne’s going to be friends with Jerry Hall.
‘I can’t wait for the series. I’m so glad she’s on it. Now I do feel like everybody has watched The Traitors, and if you haven’t watched The Traitors, you’re seriously missing out. I watch it when I don’t know the people on it.
‘So now that my Joanne is on it, I am gonna be glued to it. I’m so excited. I kind of hope she’s a Traitor, but I don’t think she’s very good liar…I’m just very excited about it.’
The BBC revealed its star-studded line-up at the weekend, which includes Industry actress Myha’la Herrold, who will join James Acaster, Joe Lycett, Romesh Ranganathan, and Rob Beckett.
They will face singer-songwriter James Blunt, former Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock, actress Miranda Hart, and Love Island presenter Maya Jama in a bid to catch the treacherous Traitors.
Others joining the line-up include former Coronation Street star Julie Hesmondhalgh, broadcaster Amol Rajan, and actress Sharon Rooney.
Broadcaster and mathematician Professor Hannah Fry completes the line-up alongside content creator King Kenny and actor Sebastian Croft.
The first series of The Celebrity Traitors aired on the BBC last autumn, with its nail-biting finale hitting a peak of 15.4 million viewers in the UK, according to the broadcaster.
