Star-studded cast announced to appear in The Traitors: The Movie
In aid of Comic Relief!
As if having a number of International versions to binge and a third series of The Traitors UK wasn't enough to look forward to, BBC bosses have now announced a star-studded line-up for a very special episode, in aid of Comic Relief!
In what is being dubbed an 'exciting sketch for Red Nose Day', actress Suranne Jones will transform into Claudia Winkleman for The Traitors: The Movie.
The BBC say of the sketch: 'Audiences should grab some popcorn and pour themselves a chalice of fizzy rosé, because THE most hotly anticipated film of the year is to die for! Expect Jazatha Christie being ignored, Ross’ infamous wink, Diane’s untimely murder and the Traitors turning on each other at the roundtable.'
Vigil actress Suranne will be joined by some of the biggest names around, playing the roles of some of the nation's favourite contestants from series two.
Suranne Jones says: ‘‘I’ve grown up with Comic Relief and every year I think I must do something, so it’s an absolute thrill to be cast. I watched The Traitors and I love Claudia, so everything is done with love as I step into her shoes. The most important thing is we are raising money for really important causes. So we are having fun, but the main thing will always be the causes.’’
See the full cast below:
Suranne Jones: Claudia Winkleman
Sally Phillips: Diane
Jonathan Bailey: Harry
Asim Chaudhry: Jaz
Kiell Smith-Bynoe: Jaz
David Walliams: Paul
Iain Stirling: Ross
Catherine Tate: Evie and Charlie
The Traitors series two finalist Mollie Pearce will also appears, making a very special cameo as herself.
Bridgerton actor Jonathan Bailey said of his involvement: ‘‘Being invited to be in a Comic Relief night of TV sketch is the proudest moment of my career so far. On top of that, The Traitors is my all-time favourite TV series - I would be star-struck if I met any one of them. I’m sure I am the first in a long line of actors who will play Harry in biopics. Actually, I want to take this moment to publicly apologise to Harry for what I’ve done.’’
The Traitors series two finalist, Mollie Pearce, added: ‘‘Red Nose Day is a great cause and something I’ve grown up watching. When I read the script, I thought it was so funny and great entertainment, it’s nice to make people laugh and smile after such an intense series. I don’t think I have really had time to process being asked to be involved in the sketch. When I got the call, I was running around the house with my mum screaming. I feel very privileged and very lucky.’’
