The Crown's Erin Doherty wants to do The Celebrity Traitors
Erin Doherty will only do the second series of The Celebrity Traitors if she is made a Faithful.
Erin Doherty wants to take part in the next series of The Celebrity Traitors.
However, The Crown actress will only agree to do the BBC's ultimate game of backstabbing, betrayal and deceit - which sees Faithfuls identify and banish the Traitors through voting, while the Traitors try to stay undetected and 'murder' the Faithfuls each night - if she is a goodie.
Erin, 33, told The Observer Magazine: "From watching that show, I think I'd love it.
"I'm saying it now, but I would hate to be a Traitor. I just loved how much they all loved each other."
Each night, millions of people tuned in to see if Traitors, comedian Alan Carr, 49, broadcaster Jonathan Ross, 65, and singer Cat Burns, 25, could successfully remain undetected and, ultimately, steal the jackpot from the Faithfuls - earned by the cast in a series of challenges - in the final.
Faithfuls - including retired rugby player Joe Marler, 35, Good Morning Britain anchor Kate Garraway, 58, and 45-year-old Ted Lasso actor Nick Mohammed - and sensationally, Alan and Cat banished Jonathan from the show.
However, in the November 6 final, Cat was caught as a Traitor, and Joe was mistakenly voted out.
But as Alan remained undetected, he snatched the £87,500 prize pot - which he donated to Neuroblastoma UK, a children's cancer charity - from Faithfuls Nick and 55-year-old writer David Olusoga.
The final broke records - averaging 11.1 million with a peak of 12 million - making it the biggest overnight audience across the market since the BBC's own record-breaking Gavin and Stacey viewing on Christmas Day last year, and biggest overnight share (81 per cent) since the Euros last year.
It also had 1.9 million live requests on iPlayer, which makes this the highest live-viewing number for any Entertainment episode on iPlayer of all time.
And with The Celebrity Traitors - of which episode one became the biggest single episode on TV so far this year, raking in 14.8 million views (28 days) - a second series has been commissioned for 2026.
So far, Capital Breakfast radio show host Sian Welby, 39, comedian Russell Howard, 45, as well as former EastEnders star Danny Dyer, 48, are interested in starring in the second season.
Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC, said: "Studio Lambert have done an outstanding job as The Celebrity Traitors has well and truly captivated the nation, becoming a bona fide highlight of the year, bringing record numbers of people together to enjoy every twist and turn.
"In 2026, the doors of the castle will be opened again to welcome celebrity players to the game to see who can charm, who can scheme and ultimately who can survive in series two, which promises to be just as unmissable as the first."
Kalpna also confirmed that podcast The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked - in which 39-year-old comedian Ed Gamble speaks to each of the stars for their first interview since leaving the castle - is returning, airing on BBC Sounds, BBC Two and iPlayer.
