Welsh actor Michael Sheen, EastEnders’ Ross Kemp and comedian Miranda Hart are among the famous faces taking part in The Celebrity Traitors when the hit gameshow returns for its second series on Thursday.

Viewers will see the latest batch of celebrities, which also features presenter Maya Jama and The Last Of Us star Bella Ramsey, head to Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands in the hopes of winning a cash prize of up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.

The contestants will try to weed out the murderous traitors among them in the eagerly anticipated second series of the BBC juggernaut, which launched last year and quickly became a major ratings success for the broadcaster.

Actors Michael Sheen and Richard E Grant, supermodel Jerry Hall, comedians Rob Beckett, Romesh Ranganathan and James Acaster are among the line-up, alongside Little Mix singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock and The Last Of Us star Bella Ramsey.

My Mad Fat Diary star Sharon Rooney and BBC journalist Amol Rajan, along with singer James Blunt and US actress Myha’la are also among the contestants.

American supermodel and actress Jerry Hall, 70, is the oldest contestant taking part but thinks she will be OK as she is “quite an active person”, while Joanne McNally declared that she and her fellow comedians taking part will be “more than willing to throw each other under the bus”.

However, Winkleman said she would never want to be among their number.

She said: “I’m too thick. I mustn’t play it in public. I must not, thank you so much.

“I’m just being honest. I could have come up with a schmoozier (answer) but no.

“It’s a privilege to play that game and to be at the round table, but I think I would just be too awful at it.”

The first celebrity spin-off was won by traitor Alan Carr, was a ratings hit and won a slew of awards.

The Celebrity Traitors begins on Thursday October 1 at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
