A first look at the Celebrity Traitors 2025 has dropped online, teasing the cruel twists, tense chats and brutal back-stabbing that lays ahead in the upcoming series.
The new teaser for the hit BBC show starts with the famous contestants arriving at Ardross Castle in Scotland as a string of players shed light on their psychological game plans.
Narrating their own approach to this year's mind-bending game, Alan Carr, Celia Imran, Stephen Fry and Tom Daley all hint they are ready and willing to push themselves out of their comfort zones for the experience.
"Maybe I have got a dark side," says comedian Alan.

"I'm here to win," states The Thursday Murder Club actress Celia.
"I don't know what beasts lie within me," teases author and presenter Stephen.
While Olympic diver Tom Daley adds: "I'm going to fight to the death."
A stylish Claudia Winkleman then appears in the clip, revealing she's back to host the ultimate game of deceit in this autumn's celebrity spin-off.
Stepping out of the shadows, the popular presenter quickly establishes her position as ring-leader and makes it clear that she is there to keep people's egos in-check.
"Players, welcome to the highlands," she begins.
"Now I know out in the real world you're very important and successful, but here there is no special treatment."
Amongst a montage of dramatic scenes, Claudia reiterates the show's rules to the celebs as they nervously make their way to the iconic round table.
"Traitors, remain undetected and murder the faithful.
"Faithful, you must hunt down the traitors. Go forth and murder."
After hand-picking the chosen ones in secret, the scene then cuts to the famous players whipping themselves up into a frenzy during the first physical challenge.
"I have selected my traitors," Claudia reveals.
"Tomorrow the killing spree begins. This is The Celebrity Traitors."
Fans couldn't hide their excitement online, taking to social media to gush over the impressive cast – a mix of A-listers, quirky comedians and famous sports stars.
"Yes Yes YES been waiting for this for so long, my pick is Joe Wilkinson whether he is a faithful or a traitor I want him to win, great celeb cast," said one follower.
"I know what ill be doing every Tuesday-Thursday for the next month then," joked another.
A third said: "I’m rooting for Niko who’s with me," while a fourth suggested: "Gotta make Alan Carr a traitor!"
BBC bosses behind the murderous game have also finally revealed the launch date – and it's just before Halloween.
