The term "celebrity traitors" primarily relates to the 2025 BBC One reality TV show "The Celebrity Traitors." In this show, celebrities are divided into two groups: Traitors and Faithfuls, in a psychological game of deception and betrayal. The Traitors secretly try to eliminate the Faithfuls while the Faithfuls try to identify and banish the Traitors to win a prize for charity. The confirmed Traitors in the 2025 show are:

• Alan Carr (Comedian and television presenter)
• Cat Burns (Singer-songwriter)
• Jonathan Ross (Television presenter)

The rest of the celebrity contestants play as Faithfuls or are participants who have been "murdered" or eliminated in the game.

Thus, "celebrity traitors" refers to these celebrities taking on the Traitor role in this televised game of strategy and deceit, rather than actual betrayal in real life. The show brings together various famous people competing in this game.
