Alan Carr was the winner of final yr’s Movie star Traitors (Picture: BBC)
The 2025 sequence of Movie star Traitors has a powerful 100 per cent ranking on the evaluate web site Rotten Tomatoes, and it drew in round 15 million viewers per episode – eclipsing each Strictly Come Dancing on BBC One and ITV’s I’m A Movie star…Get Me Out Of Right here!
Name me biased, however Alan Carr was one of many causes for the present’s triumph – and everybody was rooting for the 49-year-old comedy legend to win as a Traitor. Alan went from a swetty mess the second he turned a Traitor to the king of deceit as he managed to idiot your complete forged and win the sequence.
The finale was genuinely tv gold, and I beloved each second, in addition to taking a look at X to see the reside commentary from different viewers glued to their screens. It was such a disgrace for the sequence to be over, as each second of each episode was sensible!
So once I discovered a second sequence of Movie star Traitors was being recommissioned, I immediately thought it was an enormous threat for the BBC, as it will be unattainable to high Alan’s season.
The BBC has pulled out all of the stops to make sure some massive names are coming into the well-known Scottish fortress as Traitors or Faithfuls, however everybody will examine the sequence to the 2025 season.
If nobody warms to the forged as they did to folks in final yr’s sequence, resembling Ceila Imrie, Kate Garraway, Nick Mohammed and Stephen Fry, they are going to be fast to criticise the present or abort it altogether.
It have to be nerve-racking for the 2026 forged, as absolutely they are going to need to play the sport to the very best of their capacity whereas additionally defending their public personas. If BBC viewers don’t like them, being a part of Movie star Traitors may very well be damaging to their reputations.
Movie star Traitors returns to BBC One and BBC iPlayer later this yr.
