Thin on the right so far

Only 1 of the 14 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated right.

This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.

The second series of The Celebrity Traitors is set to premiere on Thursday, October 1, 2026. The programme will air twice weekly, on Thursdays and Fridays at 8pm, on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. A new segment called 'Traitor or Faithful? Claudia Decides' will feature, where viewers will learn how host Claudia Winkleman selects the traitors.

The cast for the upcoming series includes Amol Rajan, Bella Ramsey, James Acaster, and Maya Jama, among other celebrities. The contestants will compete for a prize of up to £100,000, to be donated to a charity of the winner's choice. The show's return was preceded by a new trailer and a confirmed release date, following an earlier incorrect suggestion by Richard Osman.
