Celebrity Traitors Series 2 Odds: Coleen Rooney In Contention For Castle Spell
The Celebrity Traitors series two looks set to attract some top-tier stars, if betting sites are anything to go by.
Several big names have been linked of late, including Hollywood actors Hugh Grant, Tom Hiddleston and Erin Doherty.
Former England football manager Gareth Southgate and Oasis star Liam Gallagher are also names in the frame.
Liam recently confirmed the BBC has been in touch about signing him up for the backstabbing series, and another huge star has also commented about potentially taking part in the programme.
Are Roo A Traitor Or A Faithful?
Coleen Rooney is just 3/1 on betting apps to appear in this year's Celebrity Traitors series, after revealing she is a huge fan of TV's biggest game of deceit and deception.
But Coleen doesn't think she would make a great Traitor.
The Real Wagatha Story star told The Times: "I love watching Celebrity Traitors, but I don't know whether I could be that fake.
"If I was a Traitor and I was lying to them, in my head I'd be thinking 'Oh, I'd hate people to think that's what I was like in real life, just like scamming people'."
Celebrity Traitors Series 2 Odds: Who Will Be Cast?

Angela Scanlon | 8/13 | 61.9% |
Jason Manford | 4/6 | 60% |
Liam Gallagher | 8/11 | 57.9% |
Danny Dyer | 4/5 | 55.6% |
Cheryl Tweedy | 5/6 | 54.5% |
Hugh Grant | 10/11 | 52.4% |
Daisy May Cooper | Evens | 50% |
Steve Pemberton | 11/10 | 47.6% |
Ruth Jones | 5/4 | 44.4% |
Alison Hammond | 6/4 | 40% |
Erin Doherty | 13/8 | 38.1% |
Kerry Katona | 7/4 | 36.4% |
Gareth Southgate | 15/8 | 34.8% |
Bob Mortimer | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Joanne McNally | 9/4 | 30.8% |
Coleen Rooney | 3/1 | 25% |
David Mitchell | 3/1 | 25% |
Shane Ritchie | 7/2 | 22.2% |
Courteney Cox | 4/1 | 20% |
Carol Kirkwood | 5/1 | 16.7% |
Tom Hiddleston | 5/1 | 16.7% |
Amanda Holden | 8/1 | 11.1% |
Helen Mirren | 10/1 | 9.1% |
While it doesn't sound like Coleen has signed on the dotted line for series two, it wouldn't be a huge surprise if she took part.
She was an I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! fan for a long time before finally appearing in the ITV series in 2024.
Beforehand, nobody thought she would sign up for the Australian jungle-based show, and Scotland's Ardross Castle isn't quite as far for Coleen to travel.
If she does take the Traitors plunge, then Coleen could be facing off against one of her husband Wayne Rooney's former England team-mates.
Former Three Lions gaffer Gareth Southgate is just 15/8 to take part in The Celebrity Traitors series two.
"The Rooneys don't stay out of the news for long, and Coleen has been back among the headlines this week for...Celebrity Traitors. She would be a great signing for the show, and would make the ultimate Traitor. Liam Gallagher and Danny Dyer have also been linked, and if the BBC need to break the budget to land them, they have my blessing."
Angela To Cause A Stir?
But there's a new favourite to take part in The Celebrity Traitors - Angela Scanlon is just 8/13.
The BBC is a big fan of the TV presenter, after she took part in Strictly 2023, and Celebrity Apprentice last Christmas.
She has since taken over hosting duties on The Apprentice's new-look spin-off show, The Apprentice: Unfinished Business.
A source told The Sun: "Angela’s turn on Strictly, and on Celebrity Apprentice earlier this year, went down a storm.
"The BBC are big fans of hers and are keen to secure her as one of their key talents. Celebrity Traitors would be the perfect fit for Angela. She’s clever, mischievous and isn’t afraid of causing a stir.
"Negotiations with talent are still ongoing and it'll go down to the wire. Contracts are often signed in the days leading up to the show starting."
Other short-priced stars include fellow BBC favourite Jason Manford (4/6) and Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher (8/11).
Former EastEnders actor Danny Dyer (4/5) has also been linked to The Celebrity Traitors, and he would be a fantastic signing.
Amanda's Schedule Issue
Amanda Holden is another household name who has spoken about Celebrity Traitors, after her best mate Alan Carr won the first-ever star-studded series last year.
However, the Britain's Got Talent judge has distanced herself from a seat at the roundtable.
She recently told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I can't do it because it means I'd miss three Saturday nights on Britain's Got Talent.
"I was very flattered, but I am not going to be around the table, unless they change the schedule. I also don't fancy staying at a hotel in Inverness airport!"
BGT is under way for another year, so it doesn't look like Amanda will be jetting up to Scotland for Celebrity Traitors.
However, stranger things have happened in show business, and she is an 8/1 shot.
Tom Hiddleston has also spoken about the programme, and he is just 5/1 to sign up.
Speaking on BBC Radio 2, he said: "The celebrity one would be amazing. I think the whole show, the format is just the most ingenious thing, isn't it? It's completely compulsive. Maybe the best television I've ever seen.
"I'd like to be a Faithful because then you can play detective, right? And you know that your conscience is clean and your heart is pure, and you're just watching and trying to figure people out.
"If you're a Traitor, it's more of an acting exercise, right? It's a game, you have to keep deceiving and cloaking and dissembling and basically lying to people. It would be interesting, though. I don't know, I think being a Faithful would be more of a curiosity scratcher somehow."
Tom is set to take part in ITV's Soccer Aid again this May, and it wouldn't be a shock to see him score a role in Celebrity Traitors, too.
