Tess Daly Clarifies Celebrity Traitors Offer from Host Claudia Winkleman

Tess Daly has recently addressed speculation surrounding her and her husband Vernon Kay being approached for the show Celebrity Traitors, hosted by her close friend Claudia Winkleman. Rumors began circulating last year about their possible involvement in the upcoming series.

During an appearance on Good Morning Britain, Vernon, 51, playfully stirred the conversation, stating, “It keeps cropping up, this. We haven’t been approached – or have we? We’re not doing it – or are we?” His humorous remarks prompted further curiosity regarding their participation.

Now, Tess, 56, has put these rumors to rest. In an interview with The Metro, she confirmed that Claudia never formally approached them for the series. “She knows I’d be able to read her mind at this point,” Tess remarked, indicating her self-awareness regarding their friendship dynamics.

The Dynamics of Deception

When asked about who would make a better traitor, Vernon humorously claimed that Tess would struggle with lying convincingly, saying, “Tess always laughs when she tells a fib.” He added that it would be an intriguing psychological challenge for anyone involved in The Traitors.

Tess expressed her belief that she wouldn’t excel in the role of a traitor, stating, “I’d be terrible at doing a poker face.” Instead, she shared her appreciation for Claudia’s humor, mentioning how they’ve laughed together for over a decade on Strictly Come Dancing, which is currently in its 23rd series.

Future Opportunities in Celebrity Traitors

While Tess and Vernon are not featured in the inaugural series of Celebrity Traitors, future opportunities may arise. Reports suggest that a second series is already in the works despite the current season still airing. A source revealed, “The Celebrity Traitors is landing at the very peak of the format’s popularity. The cast is exceptional.”

  • Current Participants: Celebrity contestants include Jonathan Ross, Kate Garraway, Celia Imrie, Alan Carr, David Olusoga, and Cat Burns.
  • Prize for the Winner: The victorious contestant will donate up to £100,000 to a charity of their choice.

As the first series continues to unfold, viewers eagerly await the next developments. Celebrity Traitors airs at 9 PM on BBC One, with fans anticipating the next banishment. Will a traitor finally be exposed? Only time will tell.
