After months of eager anticipation the Celebrity Traitors<\/a> line-up is finally here, and there is already a favourite to win. <\/p>\n

After three hugely successful seasons of the Claudia Winkleman-helmed game of subterfuge, trust and betrayal with members of the public – the BBC<\/a> reality series is getting a star-studded makeover.<\/a> <\/p>\n

The impressive cast includes a cross-section of culture, including Sir Stephen Fry, historian David Olusoga, singer Cat Burns, comedian Alan Carr<\/a> and plenty more iconic names for a total of 19 famous faces.<\/p>\n

And as the buzz around the prestigious line-up<\/a> ramps up, the odds are in for frontrunner who will swoop to victory in the castle to claim a prize pot of \u00a3100,000 for a charity of their choice. <\/p>\n

Ted Lasso star and comedian Nick Mohammed is currently the early favourite to win the series at 7\/4 odds, according to Betfred<\/a> – whether by acing the game as a Faithful or hoodwinking everyone as a Traitor.<\/p>\n

Celebrating the announcement of his inclusion in the Celebrity Traitors cast, Nick wrote on social media: ‘I am, and always have been\u2026 GOING TO BE ON CELEBRITY TRAITORS!’ with fans sharing their excitement in the comments. <\/p>\n

He is closely followed by Bridget Jones star Celia Imrie at 2\/1 and Olympic diver Tom Daley<\/a> at a tidy 5\/2 to round out the top three. <\/p>\n

Standing strong in the top half is singer Charlotte Church at 3\/1, with Joe Wilkinson and Mistakes singer Paloma Faith neck-and-neck at 9\/2.<\/p>\n

As for which of our conniving players will be chosen as Traitor, Paloma is leading the charge at whopping odds of 11\/8. Hot on her heels are Tom at 6\/4 and Charlotte at 7\/4.<\/p>\n
