There's not long to wait until the second season of The Celebrity Traitors hits our screens on 1st October — and now BBC bosses have given us our first look at the iconic portraits of the new cast.

Preparing to don the walls of the breakfast room (and hoping to avoid the bottom of Claudia Winkleman's boots) the portraits show the suspicious new cast in all their glory, as they prepare to go head to head to sniff out the Traitors amongst them.

Take a look at the season two portraits...

Amol Rajan


Bella Ramsey

"I would love to be a Traitor, I really would, but I'm also okay with being a Faithful. I think being a Traitor can make things a bit more stressful, but in a way that's exciting to me. I think that I will last longer in the game as a Traitor, you've only got one way to lose the game rather than two."

Professor Hannah Fry


James Acaster

" I'd like to be a Faithful. This is the only time I'll be able to play it, and I like being in a position of figuring something out rather than having the information the Traitors have."

Jerry Hall


Rob Beckett


Ross Kemp


Michael Sheen


Julie Hesmondhalgh


King Kenny


Miranda Hart

"I initially thought, well, I'd like to be a Traitor, because you feel like you're just having more of the experience, but now I've gone the other way and I want to be a Faithful. I think it would be more fun to try and guess. I like the idea of figuring it out, weeding them out and getting a Faithful win. And we can't let another stupid comedian as a Traitor win. None of that, please!"

Joanne McNally


James Blunt


Myha’la

Referencing her role as Harper in Industry, Myha'la said: "I'm more of a kill them with kindness kind of girl rather than a blatantly bullish bulldog. I'll be interested to see how this one goes because I feel like I will be battling Harper's persona and the perception of her. All that said, I want to be a Traitor. Obviously!"

Richard E. Grant


Sharon Rooney


Sebastian Croft


Leigh-Anne Pinnock


Joe Lycett

"I want to start as a Faithful and then be converted. I think I'd find it very stressful being a Traitor, but I think you only get one chance to have a go at it, don't you?"

Maya Jama


Romesh Ranganathan

"I think that one of the things that you tend to do when you're lying is really over explain. When you're trying to defend yourself, you really over explain too. So, my strategy in that regard is going to be to try and under explain. I find lying tricky."
