Paloma Faith: Singer and actress to appear in celebrity edition of The Traitors, official release date

The 43-year-old singer-songwriter and actress has reportedly signed on for the hit BBC game show hosted by Claudia Winkleman. The show, which challenges contestants called "Faithfuls" to identify and eliminate undercover "Traitors" in pursuit of a cash prize, is expected to bring a star-studded cast for its upcoming season.

A source told a news outlet: "Paloma is a fascinating character with plenty of stories to tell of life in the public eye and great fun to be around. She’ll be an incredible player and will bring some glam to the castle - Claudia will have competition."

Faith, who found success as a pop artist with hits like New York in the late 2000s, has made numerous TV appearances over the years. In 2020, she served as a mentor on ITV1’s The Voice Kids UK, and in early 2024, she appeared on Channel 5’s Great Celebrity Bake Off for SU2C, around the release of her album The Glorification of Sadness.

Faith is expected to join other high-profile contestants rumoured to be part of the series, including This Country stars Daisy May and Charlie Cooper, who sources say will be "great players."

Other anticipated cast members are TV presenter Clare Balding, Olympic diver Tom Daley, actor Stephen Fry, and ITV News political editor Robert Peston.

While the BBC has yet to announce an official release date, filming is expected to begin next year.
