Premier League legend set to appear on The Traitors as celebrity lineup leaks
The lineup for the second series of The Celebrity Traitors has leaked online, and one of the biggest names in the Premier League features.
Following the massive success of popular reality series The Traitors, the BBC launched a new version of the show last year featuring a group of 19 celebrities.
Former England rugby player Joe Marler and Olympic legend Tom Daley were among the sports stars included in the lineup alongside actors, musicians and comedians.
The series averaged nearly 15 million viewers per episode and quickly became the most-watched show of 2025 in the UK.

Therefore, it came as no surprise when The Celebrity Traitors was renewed for a second season set to air in late 2026, featuring a new set of celebrities.
And the first set of names set to feature on the show have already have leaked online, as Premier League legend Peter Crouch is reportedly ready to arrive in the famous Traitors castle in Scotland.
The report comes from popular TV News X account Super TV, claiming that Crouch, who made 468 appearances in the Premier League, has signed up ahead of the show filming in May.
Crouch's appearance on the show would no doubt be a huge casting for the show, but it certainly seems possible after the 45-year-old expressed an interest in the show last year.
Discussing his love of the show, Crouch said: “I love Celebrity Traitors but I don’t know if I could go on it.
“I’d be a traitor. Being a traitor is the one.”
The report comes just weeks after Traitors host Claudia Winkleman revealed that the full line-up for the second series of The Celebrity Traitors had been secured and shew couldn't be more excited to get underway.
During an appearance on The One Show, she was asked if there were more 'big dogs' set for the castle, following the success of the first season.
"There certainly are. The people who make it are extraordinary and they had to repeat the people twice to me because I was like, ‘Huh, are you joking? Come again.' So, we’re incredibly lucky," Winkleman admitted.
Alongside Crouch, popular comedian James Acaster is reported to have signed to appear, wit the likes of Danny Dyer and Alison Hammond also reportedly in the lineup.
