Celebrity Traitors Odds: Imrie And Mohammed Tipped To Do Well, Daley A Traitor?

Celebrity Traitors has been much talked about ever since The Traitors first aired to much acclaim in 2022. 

Next Wednesday (October 8), 19 stars of TV, film and music will begin their battle to win up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice, and there is a competitive outright market on betting sites before the off.

Actor and writer Stephen Fry, singer Paloma Faith, Olympian Tom Daley and actress Celia Imrie are among the first Celebrity Traitors cast members, and several have made their wishes clear about whether they want to be a Traitor or a Faithful.

All will be revealed when host Claudia Winkleman taps the lucky, or unlucky, few on the shoulders around the show's iconic roundtable - to reveal who the Traitors are. 

Of course, all 19 stars will be blindfolded, meaning only those tapped will know if it is them or not, until the Traitors all meet up later that evening. 

But then the ultimate game of deceit and betrayal will begin.

Celebrity Traitors 2025 Winner Odds:

Celia's Thursday Murder Club Research 

Actress Celia is the early 6/4 favourite on betting apps to win the inaugural Celebrity Traitors. 

The Thursday Murder Club star has admitted appearing in the hit Netflix film - based on Richard Osman's cosy crime book of the same name - has been good research for Celebrity Traitors "in a strange sort of way". 

In real life, Celia is so lovely it may put other stars off trying to banish her from the game. 

Her triple threat could be completed by Celia being chosen as one of the Traitors - and she is up for the job.

Quizzed on whether she wants to be a Traitor or a Faithful, she said: "The thing is, I don't really mind.

"If Claudia's hand goes on my shoulder, I'll be ecstatic with excitement." - Celia Imrie

"However, I do think it's quite a hard job."

Following her comments, Celia is Evens to be named a Traitor, just behind 10/11 frontrunner Tom Daley. 

Like Celia, the other stars may not suspect baby-faced Tom as being someone to openly deceive and "murder" them. 

Daley is a 2/1 chance to win the first-ever Celebrity Traitors, behind comedians Nick Mohammed (13/8) and Joe Wilkinson (15/8). 

Faithful Fry Doesn't Fancy Being A Traitor

Another who could be in contention is Stephen Fry. 

The actor has openly admitted he doesn't want to be a Traitor, and while this could well put him in the firing line to be murdered by the Traitors, his comments - which he will no doubt be telling his co-stars before Claudia makes her choices - could be a genius double bluff.

"I just don't like the idea of having to plot against people." - Stephen Fry

Fry said: "It's mean and it's annoying to have to find that side of oneself, because in order to play well, you have to be a bit mean.

"You're conspiring with others to do it, and you can't trust them either. 

"So, you're just under much more pressure. You can see from the previous series that being a Traitor is really quite stressful."

Stephen is 3/1 to win the show, and despite his comments, he is 7/2 to be chosen as a Traitor. 

Comedian Lucy Beaumont is just 5/4 to be a Traitor, because she would much rather be on the dark side. 

Asked if she would rather be a Traitor or a Faithful, Beaumont said: "I don’t mind which. 

"I think there's a bit less pressure with being a Faithful, but then it'd be hard if people suspected you were a Traitor. 

"If you are a Traitor, you can't really blame anyone for pointing the finger at you." - Lucy Beaumont

"All things considered, if I had to pick, I'd rather be a Traitor. I think it's more interesting. But I'd probably not be a very good one."

Paloma's Plan To Banish Bores 

Elsewhere, superstar singer Paloma Faith is heading into The Traitors' castle with a no-nonsense approach to the game. 

Whether she is a Traitor or a Faithful, she wants to banish "boring" contestants. 

She said: "I'm in favour of having a voice of any kind, rather than sitting on the fence. I’d get rid of the boring ones!"

Asked if that means she's decided she would rather be a Traitor than a Faithful, she added: "I’d still vote out boring people if I'm a Faithful. 

"If I don't think someone is contributing much to our entertainment, I’ll just exert my influence at the Roundtable."

However, being one of the most vocal contestants isn't always a recipe for success on The Traitors.

Paloma is propping up the outright market at 10/1, just behind former Line of Duty star Mark Bonnar (9/1), who may well have picked up plenty of detective tips from the BBC's police procedural series. 

TV presenter Clare Balding is 8/1 for victory, after admitting it would be "very easy" for someone to convince her they are a Traitor. 

Asked if she is quite good at reading people, she said: "I think I am, but I can be much too trusting.

"It would be very easy for somebody to convince me that they were not a Traitor." - Clare Balding

"I have a few things that I'll try and look out for responses to and if I spot anyone being a bit casual about trying to get a shield, that will be very telling!"

Despite that, Clare has developed a strategy to try to keep herself "under the radar" on the show, and she wants to do well in the Missions, so she has "a value" to the group. 

She could also be a value price at 8/1 to win the show, but she is 5/1 to be a Traitor after admitting she wouldn't be a "very good" one.
