The first all-star edition of Celebrity Traitors reached its tense conclusion on 6 November, with Alan Carr emerging triumphant as the only traitor not to be found out by his faithful friends.
Carr was awarded the full £87,500 prize pot, to be donated to children’s cancer charity Neuroblastoma UK. The below odds were published in the run-up to the final episode of the show.
After the overwhelming success of the first Celebrity Traitors, the BBC has confirmed that the show will return in 2026. Check back next year for odds and predictions for round two.
“Alan Carr emerged as an early favourite to win the show thanks to his quick wit and social instinct. He has a great ability to keep viewers engaged.”
At the beginning of October The Winkleman welcomed 19 famous faces to a secluded Scottish castle and they’re now battling it out for up to £100,000 in cash (for charity this time, of course).
This year’s cast was absolutely packed full of national treasures, actors, sportspeople, comedians, presenters, youtubers and tiktokers alike, but which of the remaining celebs is capable of outsmarting their fellow competitors to take the prize from under their traitorous (or faithful) noses on 9 November?
We caught up with PR expert and veteran of the entertainment industry Lynn Carratt to get her thoughts on how this series will play out and who’s in with the best chance of winning the first ever Celebrity Traitors.
With Lynn’s help, our analysts have crunched the numbers… And now we can finally reveal which household names are most likely to emerge triumphant from the shadowy corridors of Ardross Castle.

Celebrity Traitors odds analysis: Carr’s comic charm could bank him the prize money
This year’s favourites all have a few things in common: they’re socially intelligent, hugely likeable and great at reading situations.
Skills like these have given them the upper hand whether they’ve been attempting to hide their traitorous nature or identifying who amongst them might be tempted to commit murder as soon as others’ backs are turned.
Alan Carr 6/4 | Implied Probability 34%
Alan Carr has been the top contender in this race from the very beginning because firstly, he’s hilarious, and secondly (for some reason) he’s managed to go undetected for weeks!
There’s nothing unlikable about Alan Carr, which is why he’s sailed through the series so far, building trust amongst traitors and faithfuls alike… despite what he’s been up to behind the scenes.
Carr had to show his deceptive side early on, murdering his close friend Paloma Faith. It was a double bluff that paid off perfectly, and a great example of the kind of tricks Traitors need to employ to go undetected until the end.
“Celebrities are forced to lie, scheme and second-guess, which shows a completely different side to their persona that the public know and will surprise viewers, like Alan Carr killing Paloma Faith,” Lynn Carratt explained.
We can see Carr continuing to use his quick wit and engaging storytelling to diffuse tense situations. Don’t underestimate him when it comes to the skills of persuasion, either.
This is a man with social intelligence by the bucketload. And that could be just what he needs to scoop that prize money on 6 November.
Cat Burns 9/4 | Implied Probability 28%
Cat Burns has been named as a traitor, and she too has managed to go completely unnoticed for much of the series. In fact, it was all looking pretty good for Cat – until Joe started to raise suspicions last week.
In comparison to the huge personality of fellow remaining Traitor Alan, Burns is fairly quiet. And that’s worked to her advantage so far. But will she be able to continue diverting attention away from herself to scoop that prize?
Shows like Celebrity Traitors “celebrate secrecy and strategy, which is refreshing for viewers,” noted Lynn Carratt. And Burns has already shown herself to be more than capable of strategising to keep herself out of the watchful eyes of the Faithfuls.
The 25-year-old singer is also one of the youngest members of the cast, which could be why fellow contestants have underestimated her up to this point. She may well have what it takes to fly under the radar right to the end.
Joe Marler 7/2 | Implied Probability 22%
Joe Marler’s odds shortened significantly when he revealed his ‘Big Dog’ theory. Since then he’s been one of the only faithfuls capable of working out who the Traitors really are.
On 15 October, Marler explained that he thought Claudia had decided to separate the two big dogs of showbusiness: Jonathan Ross and Stephen Fry. One of whom would therefore be a faithful, and the other a traitor. His argument was instrumental in the banishing of the first Traitor, Jonathan, and he quickly started to work out who Ross’s accomplices could be.
Marler has shown he’s got the perceptive skills to go all the way in this competition. It’s why he was our first big market mover, and now the faithful most likely to make it to the final and win. The question is, can he convince David that he can be trusted?
Watch out for the comedians: their acting skills and likeability could take them all they way
We wouldn’t be at all surprised if a comedian emerges triumphant from the first Celebrity Traitors. Keep your eyes on the contestants using humour to mask their true intentions, they’ll probably end up having the last laugh.
Nick Mohammed 8/1 | Implied Probability 10%
Nick Mohammed is one of the last comedians still standing in this year’s series. Nick’s social skills have given him the upper hand so far, but he also has a few extra abilities that may well have contributed to his success so far.
Mohammed (or his alter ego Mr. Swallow) has an absolutely brilliant memory. He can identify the number of cards in a pack just by feeling it, and he’s a whirlwind with a Rubik’s Cube. He remembers every slip up, and knows exactly who’s said what and when.
Now, Nick and Joe appear to be on to the last remaining Traitors. If they can get fellow faithful David on side, they may be heading for a Faithful triumph… despite this year’s Faithfuls being perhaps the worst we’ve ever seen.
Celebrity Traitors odds commentary: Lynn Carratt shares her predictions
Lynn Carratt is a PR expert and veteran of the entertainment industry, with over 16 years of experience. We asked her how she thinks the first ever Celebrity Traitors will end – and whether this series is likely to hold the nation in the same vice-like grip as its predecessors.
“Alan Carr has emerged as an early favourite to win the show thanks to his quick wit and social instinct. He has a great ability to keep viewers engaged.” At 6/4, Carr is most likely to take this year’s prize.
Creating a new version of the show with a star-studded cast like this is likely to make it even more of a talking point than previous series. Carratt warned us to get ready for a new “national obsession,” as Traitors theorising takes over our social lives once more.
“The celebrity element supercharges The Traitors’ already brilliant format,” Carratt explained.
“On social media, specially X and TikTok, the dynamic of the show fuels endless debate, memes and theories. Fans dissect every glance and clue, turning episodes into shared cultural events.”
The ability to lie convincingly will be key to the celebrities’ success, but that will get harder as the series develops and cast members really get to know each other.
“Unlike many reality shows, this show isn’t about talent, it’s about psychology, which results in gripping, unpredictable TV, and makes for compelling viewing”
Get ready for your preconceptions about famous faces to be challenged, from who’s trustworthy to who’s sly to who’s most likely to crack. Lynn has predicted that “watching those expectations unravel [will be] irresistible,” and we couldn’t agree more.
