Celebrity Traitors Star Allegedly Given Special Treatment to Avoid Rough Conditions

Celebrity Traitors is generating significant buzz as one of the BBC’s standout shows this season. It features a roster of renowned stars, avoiding the typical reality television contestants. Despite the impressive lineup, the conditions for most contestants are less glamorous than expected.

Accommodation and Special Treatment

Instead of elite accommodations, the majority of contestants are residing in a Marriott hotel, priced at £80 per night. This standard accommodation reportedly shocked some celebrities who are accustomed to luxury. The source stated, “They must have had a shock, some of them would never have stayed anywhere that s* before, it was hardly salubrious.”

Celia Imrie’s Luxurious Experience

One notable exception is award-winning actress Celia Imrie. Unlike her fellow contestants, she arrived via a luxury sleeper train. An insider commented, “She’s a legend. There was no way anyone would expect her to rough it.”

Contestant Compensation

The payment structure further differentiates Celebrity Traitors from its civilian counterpart. Each celebrity receives a flat rate of £40,000, regardless of how long they last on the show. In contrast, regular contestants are given a daily allowance of £100.

Contestant Reactions

Some celebrities are expressing discontent, particularly Paloma Faith, who was eliminated early in the game. She is frustrated having not showcased her planned outfits and is also upset with the way she was voted out by a friend, Alan Carr. “If the shoe was on the other foot,” Paloma explained, “I would not have touched Alan’s face.”

Connections Among Contestants

The personal relationships among the Celebrity Traitors contestants add layers of intrigue to the game. Jonathan Ross and Charlotte Church have known each other since her childhood appearances. Similarly, Stephen Fry and Celia Imrie have a history together in various projects, including the film St Trinian’s.

Network of Relationships

• Alan Carr has interviewed several contestants on his show.
• Both Fry and Daley have appeared on Ross’s show as guests.
• Paloma Faith, along with Charlotte, participated in The Masked Singer.

These existing relationships are expected to foster unique alliances as the series progresses. As the competition intensifies, viewers are eager to see how these dynamics evolve.

The BBC has been contacted for any comments regarding the show and its unique arrangements.
