The first week of *The Celebrity Traitors* was full of surprises, and things are heating up even more in the next episode! Here’s a guide to what you can expect, including when it airs and who we think might win.
The popular BBC reality show came back last week, this time featuring celebrities. Host Claudia Winkleman greeted 19 famous contestants at the scenic Ardross Castle in Scotland.
On the October 9th episode of the show, Alan Carr eliminated his friend Paloma Faith. Then, on October 15th, Niko Omilana was voted out after a dramatic roundtable discussion, and surprisingly, Tom Daley was unexpectedly ‘killed off’ for being too strategic.
What to Read Next
Everything else paled in comparison to the hilarious impact of Celia Imrie’s small, high-pitched horn during the cabin challenge.

Good news! A new episode of *The Celebrity Traitors* is on tonight, Thursday, October 16th, at 9pm on BBC One.
With another murder looming, Ruth, David, or Charlotte are in danger. Of course, anything is possible, and the outcome remains uncertain.
Here are our odds on who is most likely to be the ultimate winner based on what we’ve seen so far.
Okay, so Cat Burns is currently at 2/1 odds, which is pretty interesting! She’s staying really cool and collected, not drawing a ton of attention to herself, which I like. Plus, she’s got that ‘Traitor’ thing going for her, which definitely gives her an edge – it’s a natural advantage, honestly.
Joe Wilkinson is currently a 5/1 underdog and is well-regarded by the group. He’s known for being reliable and avoids making careless errors.
Clare Balding is currently a 6 to 1 contender. Her honest and trusting nature could take her far, as most people would naturally support her. However, a potential issue is whether she might be swayed to join the opposing side.
Ruth Codd is entertaining, but she tends to voice her opinions even when it might be unwise, and she doesn’t seem to have a strong support system to help her navigate challenges.
Mark Bonnar 9/1 – If he can stay out of the Traitors’ sights he might be a surprise contender.
Jonathan Ross’s standing in the game took a significant hit on December 1st. Ruth convincingly revealed that he’d been dishonest about forming an early alliance with Niko, and Clare supported her claims.
Nick Mohammed is a strong puzzle solver, which helps him succeed in challenges. However, his intelligence might also make the other contestants wary of him.
Lucy Beaumont, performing on December 1st, perfectly captures a sense of naive charm. However, she might unintentionally sabotage her own success.
Charlotte Church is openly emotional and honest, making it hard to imagine her ever betraying anyone. However, the question remains whether she can avoid falling into trouble.
David Olusoga 17/1 – Brains aren’t an advantage in the Traitors. People suspect the clever ones.
Stephen Fry 17/1 – Another clever one, who also suffers from an inability to keep a low profile.
Celia Imrie often plays characters who appear sweet and innocent, but are secretly very clever. This makes it hard to know if you can truly trust her on screen. And let’s not forget her surprisingly funny habit of playing characters who… pass gas!
Joe Marler is a clever player, but he doesn’t naturally inspire a lot of support. In rugby, it’s important for players to earn the trust of everyone, even those who don’t know them personally.
Kate Garraway is already facing potential eviction and is struggling to stay out of the spotlight.
Alan Carr is playing the role of the ‘Linda’ within the group – someone who seems harmless but could be secretly working against the others. While he’s currently pretending to be loyal, it’s unlikely he’ll be able to maintain that deception for much longer.
Paloma Faith – Murdered
Niko Omilana – Banished
Tom Daley – Murdered
Tameka Empson – Banished
