Richard E. Grant, Miranda Hart, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Joe Lycett are among the stars who will go head to head in the second series of The Celebrity Traitors.

A total of 21 presenters, comedians, actors and musicians will try their hand at being good traitors and faithfuls in the show, which will air this autumn.

Following a successful first series that saw 15.4m people watch Alan Carr emerge victorious in the finale, this next instalment will see broadcasters Amol Rajan, Maya Jama and Professor Hannah Fry will enter the castle in the Scottish highlands.

Actors Bella Ramsey, Myha'la, Michael Sheen, Jerry Hall, Sharon Rooney and Julie Hesmondhalgh will use their skills and experience to convince the other players that they are faithfuls as they try and win £100,000 for a charity of their choice.

Meanwhile comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan will have their close friendship and trust in each other put to the ultimate test by the game.

A return for popular host Claudia Winkleman has also been confirmed.
