Rob Beckett Jokes Crotchless Trousers Ban in Celebrity Traitors
rob beckett turned a wardrobe joke into the sharpest early detail from Celebrity Traitors series 2. He said he wore “crotchless trousers” on the round table after filming the upcoming season in an iconic Scottish castle. The comment lands as one of the first concrete looks at how the second run is shaping up before any broadcast date has been set.
Beckett’s round-table line
“I wore crotchless trousers on the round table - Yeah, yeah, banish this,” Beckett said while talking on Parenting Hell with Josh Widdicombe. The line gives the clearest picture yet of the tone he was describing: a high-pressure game where wardrobe choices become part of the story, not just a side note.
He also said he picked “4 or 5 decent ones” at the start, saved a few looks for the end, and left the “iffy outfits” in the middle. Beckett added that “episodes 6-8 is everyone’s worse clothes so keep an eye out for that,” turning the show’s back half into a wardrobe warning as much as a cast tease.
Cast names and chaos
Joanne McNally, Maya Jama, Romesh Ranganathan, Bella Ramsey, Jerry Hall and Miranda Hart were among the names Beckett mentioned from the lineup. He said everyone was lovely, but he also said the experience was “quite hard work” and joked, “That’s showbiz everyone’s f****** lying and smiling.”
His comments point to a cast built around contrasting personalities rather than a single dominant figure. Beckett said, “I worked with Maya Jama recently, and you're just like 'we can't be the same species',” before adding, “Me, Romesh, Jerry Hall, Maya Jama, Miranda Hart all in a line - Welcome to the human race!”
Heavy bag, lighter secrecy
Beckett said his bag was overweight on the flight home and joked, “There was a lot of emotional baggage!” It is a small line, but it suggests the production finished with the kind of physical and mental load that comes with long filming days and a cast carrying secrets back out of the castle.
For viewers, the practical takeaway is simple: the second series is already in the can, and Beckett is giving away just enough to make the wait more interesting. The outfit tease suggests the show will lean into visual chaos as much as strategy, and his cast comments make clear that the personality clashes may be doing as much work as the game itself.
