A new trailer for the upcoming second season of The Celebrity Traitors has been unveiled.
In the cryptic new clip, the star-studded cast is shown together for the first time, gathered in the chapel on the iconic castle’s grounds.
Host Claudia Winkleman then declares: “A moment of silence for the celebrities gathered today.”
After close-ups of their nervous expressions, she calls for “thoughts and prayers” before strutting out.
“Who doesn’t love a dramatic exit?” she then concludes.
A release date for the second season of The Celebrity Traitors has not yet been revealed, but the first iteration began airing in early October, and ended four weeks later, in November.

Celebrating the news, the CEO of production company Studio Lambert, Stephen Lambert enthused: “The Traitors has become a genuine television phenomenon across the world, but especially in the UK, and we’re thrilled to continue the journey with the BBC.
“It’s hugely exciting that audiences will have many more years of strategy, suspense and shocking twists still to come.”
