Celebrity Traitors: Odds on Your Favourite Celebrities to be Cast
Following the enormous success of The Traitors on both sides of the Atlantic, producers have announced that a celebrity version of the hit reality show is in the works, sparking widespread speculation about which stars will be joining the mind games.
As anticipation builds, betting odds have emerged for a number of famous faces potentially taking part in the high-stakes drama.
What is The Traitors?
The Traitors is a psychological game show that incorporates treachery, strategy, and social deduction components. Split into “Traitors” and “Faithfuls,” the contestants must work together to finish tasks for a shared reward pot as the Traitors subtly sabotage the team.
Identifying and expelling the Traitors before they are “murdered” in the game is the Faithfuls’ goal. For lovers of reality TV, the show is a must-watch because of its intense gameplay, intense emotional moments, and surprising eliminations.
When is it expected to air?
While the official air date for Celebrity Traitors has yet to be confirmed, filming is expected to take place in 2024. Fans are eagerly awaiting an announcement, as the buzz around the celebrity edition continues to grow.

| Max Whitlock | 11/4 | 26.7% |
| Kim Woodburn | 3/1 | 25% |
| Katie Price | 5/1 | 16.7% |

Celebrity Breakdown:
- Tommy Fury (2/1, 33.3%)
Tommy has been in the headlines a lot recently and he may want to include himself in the show to prove to people he is a genuine guy.
- Penny Mordaunt (11/4, 26.7%) & Max Whitlock (11/4, 26.7%)
Both Penny Mordaunt, a prominent politician, and Max Whitlock, an Olympic gymnast, are next in line. Penny could be looking to follow in Matt Handcock’s footsteps, while Max may be looking for a way to expand his career after a long and successful pro career.
- Kim Woodburn (3/1, 25%)
Love her or hate her, Kim is reality TV gold. She may be a bit unhinged for this show but the odds are ever in her favour.
- Katie Price (5/1, 16.7%)
Reality TV queen Katie Price is another potential candidate. Her extensive experience on reality shows could be an unusual casting but bound to cause a stir.
- Louis Walsh (6/1, 16.7%) & Liz Truss (6/1, 14.3%)
Music mogul Louis Walsh and former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss both bring unique backgrounds to the game. While Walsh’s keen eye for talent might help him spot the Traitors, Truss’s debating skills could be a key advantage.
- Ed Balls (8/1, 11.1%) & Vernon Kay (8/1, 11.1%)
Both Ed Balls, the former MP, and TV presenter Vernon Kay are more long-shot picks given their prices.
- John Fury (12/1, 7.7%)
A long shot at the moment, John Fury is an outsider to be cast. His fiery personality and his ability to make the most tense situations funny, he would be one hell of a contestant on Celebrity Traitors.
- Laura Whitmore (15/1, 7.7%)
Having left the Love Island villa in 2022, she has had multiple accolades including a leading role in the UK & Irish tour or 2:22 A Ghost Story. The luck of the Irish could be on her side if she is cast although with a 7.7% implied probability, it is looking like a longshot.
With so much success coming from the civilian series, gathering 8 million viewers for the 2023 final this is prime real estate for Celebrities looking to get themselves in front of audiences they may not have otherwise reached.
Although all speculation at this point, Celebrity Traitors is shaping up to be an entertaining and unpredictable ride. Keep an eye on the odds as we edge closer to the show’s filming in 2024!
