Celebrity Traitors in chaos after ‘finalists are leaked by star’s friend’

A friend of one of this year’s contestants has claimed to know who has made it to the highly anticipated final, with the BBC now hoping the names don’t appear online. This is all despite this year’s line-up, which includes the likes of Maya Jama, Jerry Hall, and James Blunt, signing strict Non-Disclosure Agreements, which Ross Kemp described as ‘longer than the Bayeux Tapestry’. Several of the players have spoken about the NDAs they had to sign before heading to Ardross Castle. Comedian Joe Lycett also revealed this week that despite being required to keep his involvement in the show quiet until it’s confirmed by the BBC, he completely ignored it. He said: ‘They say, “Don’t tell anyone you’re doing it”, but if you search the word “Traitors” in my WhatsApp, I told everyone! I was telling Uber drivers.’ Several of the players have spoken about the strict NDA they had to sign (Picture: BBC/Studio Lambert/Euan Cherry) Celebrity Traitors is already proving more dramatic than ever (Picture: BBC/Studio Lambert/Euan Cherry/PA Wire) A source told The Sun of the recent leak: ‘Because of the leak, who makes the final is now a hot topic at showbiz parties. ‘It’s also spread how certain players get on, not helped by the fact another source has been suggesting who’s been placed for interviews around the final. It’s vital the leaks don’t make it to gossip forums online and on social media where fans can find the information. ‘The BBC is hoping that anyone happening upon the info or hearing it from friends will help keep the secrets of the castle and stay quiet, the problem is a small group will be aware of The Celebrity Traitors’ secrets, including those who work on the show, the celebrities who ran the course and possibly their close family and friends.’ Last year, ahead of viewers tuning in to find out whether traitors Cat Burns and Alan Carr could scoop the £100,000 prize, or faithfuls Joe Marler, Nick Mohammed and David Olosuga, the results also leaked online. Crave, a streaming service in Canada, leaked the results the evening before the final aired in the UK, meaning hundreds of people already knew who won.
