Celebrity Traitors season 2 release schedule: What time is it on and when is the next episode out?

The Celebrity Traitors is back for a second season of backstabbing, banishments and breakfast-table paranoia, with Claudia Winkleman once again presiding over the Scottish Highlands castle on BBC One and iPlayer.

Season 2 brings a fresh line-up of 21 famous faces, from Bella Ramsey and Michael Sheen to Maya Jama, Miranda Hart and Richard E Grant, all hoping to build a prize pot for charity without being murdered by the Traitors along the way.

The 10-episode run opens with an extra-long launch episode, followed by a bonus episode, Traitor or Faithful? Claudia Decides in which viewers will find out how Winkleman chose her Traitors.
