BBC iPlayer Adds New Reality Show as Fans Await The Celebrity Traitors
The BBC iPlayer has introduced a new reality show that is sure to delight viewers eagerly awaiting the debut of The Celebrity Traitors. According to a report from the Manchester Evening News, the broadcaster has added all 12 episodes of the second season of The Traitors New Zealand to its online platform.
The new season follows the same format as the UK version, where contestants must lie, cheat, and betray their way to winning up to $100,000 (£44,000). The show, presented by Paul Henry in New Zealand, features 22 contestants competing against each other in a series of challenges and meetings where accusations are thrown.
The Traitors New Zealand was filmed at Claremont Manor at the foot of Mount Horrible, rather than in the Scottish Highlands, where the UK version is set. The show’s format has made it a global phenomenon since its premiere in 2022, with a number of crazy challenges and tense meetings where accusations are thrown.
The BBC’s decision to add The Traitors New Zealand to its iPlayer platform comes as fans eagerly await the debut of The Celebrity Traitors, a new version of the show featuring famous faces. The Celebrity Traitors, presented by Claudia Winkleman, will see 19 celebrities from all walks of life competing in teams of Faithfuls and Traitors, with the aim of winning a cash prize of up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.
Among the celebrities confirmed to be taking part in The Celebrity Traitors are comedian Alan Carr, ITV presenter Kate Garraway, and former QI host Sir Stephen Fry. The show is set to air in the autumn and promises to be an exciting addition to the BBC’s reality TV lineup.
The Traitors franchise has become a huge success globally, with several seasons airing in different countries. The show’s unique format, which involves contestants trying to discover who among them are Traitors, has proven to be a hit with audiences. With the addition of The Traitors New Zealand to the BBC iPlayer, fans of the show can now binge-watch the latest season at their leisure.
The Manchester Evening News reports that the third season of The Traitors UK was the most popular to date, with a large audience tuning in to watch the show. The Celebrity Traitors is expected to follow in its footsteps, with many viewers eagerly anticipating the debut of the new show.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News, "The series has become a global phenomenon since its premiere in 2022, featuring a number of crazy challenges and tense meetings where accusations are thrown."
