However, The Apprentice star Baroness Karren Brady will not be heading to the iconic Scottish castle.
Speaking to Metro, the business mogul revealed she turned down the opportunity after being approached.
She shared: “One, I’ve never seen it. Two, I don’t have the time.
“I mean, I have a full-time job and The Apprentice is filmed just in my sweet spot in the summer when the football season is over, so I can just about fit in. But that’s it.”
More on Celebrity Traitors
Away from her duties aiding Lord Alan Sugar, Karren is vice-chairman of West Ham.
While she might have been a formidable player in the castle, it will not come to pass.
This revelation comes as two names pulled out of the Celebrity Traitors line-up – weeks before filming begins.
The Sun revealed how Daisy May Cooper and her brother Charlie gave up their highly coveted spots among the cast.
Daisy May and Charlie were cast after Andy Murray and mum Judy turned the spot down.
A source said: “Daisy May and Charlie were so excited about taking part but once the demands of the show became clear Daisy had to sadly accept it would be tough as a mum-of-three.
“The Traitors cast has to be completely off grid and can’t be on FaceTime every night, or nipping to see their children on a day off filming.
“Everyone tried to make it work but Daisy obviously has to put her family first.”
Daisy, 38, is mother to Pip, five, and Jack, three, with her ex husband Will Weston and welcomed Benji in June with boyfriend Anthony Huggins.
Stars lined up for the celebrity version of Claudia Winkleman’s smash hit series so far include the likes of Stephen Fry, Alan Carr, Clare Balding and Tom Daley.
How does The Traitors work and who hosts it?
The Traitors first launched in the UK in 2022, after the Dutch format was acquired by the BBC.
Claudia Winkleman is the show’s host, and has now hosted all three series to date.
How does it work?
It is a reality game show that involves 22 contestants, and some of them are chosen to be The Traitors.
The Traitors sees a group of contestants taking part in “the ultimate game of truth and deception”.
The group of contestants are competing for the chance to walk away with a huge cash prize.
While navigating through a series of challenges, the team are also tasked with figuring out who the Traitors are in the group (usually three contestants).
Each night, the Traitors gather to “eliminate” one of the Faithful, removing them from the competition
Meanwhile, the traitors can be “banished” if they’re successfully outed as a traitor by a faithful.
The winners of the show are either the Traitor who remains undetected or the Faithfuls if they successfully eliminate all the Traitors.
The prize sees the winner could get £120K.
Each of the series of The Traitors has had a pair of related players – a tradition which the Cooper siblings would have continued.
Previous examples include girlfriend and boyfriend Alex Gray and Tom Elderfield as well as mother and son Diane and Ross Carson.
Most recently, the show welcomed sisters Armani and Maia Gouveia in its third series.
The Traitors airs on BBC One and iPlayer.
