Original Summary

BBC/Studio Lambert/Cody Burridge/BBC Creative/PA Wire Spoiler warning: This article reveals details from the first two episodes of The Celebrity Traitors "I know Rob very, very well. I mean, I've sat next to him as he's had a colonic." That was Romesh Ranganathan , reminding us - in case we were in any doubt - of his close friendship with Rob Beckett in the opening episode of The Celebrity Traitors. His words sum up the key difference between this series and the regular civilian version. In Celebrity Traitors, the players aren't just on-screen competitors - many actually know each other outside the show. Lots have worked together, and some are even friends. And those previous connections can have a huge impact on the show's dynamics. It's also partly why it is quite so delightful to watch - as friendships unravel, and former co-stars turn on each other. We've been unpicking the six degrees of separation. Here are some of the connections we've found - if you spot any more, we'd love to know. Get in touch with your thoughts in the comments section below. The Rob and Romesh bromance The dynamic between Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan is one of the most enjoyable to watch play out this year. As well as being great friends in real life, they have also worked together repeatedly, including in their travel show, Rob & Romesh Vs. They've also frequently made joint appearances on panel shows such as Mock the Week. But their friendship could count for nothing in the castle, Ranganathan said ahead of the show. Joe Maher/Getty Images "Rob is one of my best friends, and we've worked together for a decade now, but I still won't be able to trust it," he said. "I mean, he's just as easily going to be on my side as he is going to twist the knife in my back given the opportunity." Cast list for 2026: Who are this year's 'big dogs' and dark horses?

They’ve also worked together on the TV show Travel Man. Lycett is also friends with Joanne McNally - he's described her as "one of my favourite people in the world". But those loyalties could be about to be tested, especially now that Acaster has been recruited as a traitor (anyone remember how things panned out for "good friends" Alan Carr and Paloma Faith...?). Lots of them are on the comedy circuit There are SO many comedians in this year's series. And they are all likely to know each other. In addition to the alliances above, Joe Lycett was on the TV show Last One Laughing with Rob Beckett . Joanne McNally and Romesh Ranganathan appeared on game show Unacceptable together, and James Acaster went on Ranganathan's hip hop podcast. Speaking ahead of the show, McNally insisted she and her fellow comedians "haven't been in cahoots at all". "We know that we're more than willing to throw each other under the bus," she said. As for Acaster, he's admitted the other comedians are his “biggest threat” when it comes to being detected as a traitor. “Romesh, Joe, Rob know me really well. They all know that I don’t change my mind overnight,” he said, as he pondered whether to turn and help fellow traitor Richard E Grant clear his name. Maya has rubbed shoulders with several of the stars It won’t surprise you that the two broadcasters of the group - Maya Jama and Amol Rajan - have met their fair share of the other stars before. Rajan had previously hosted both Michael Sheen and Joe Lycett on the Radio 2 Breakfast show, and also interviewed Romesh Ranganathan on BBC Asian Network. He's also been joined on the One Show on separate occasions by Ross Kemp , Miranda Hart and James Blunt - and earlier this year, he discussed AI on stage with Hannah Fry . But in the end, Rajan became the first player to be murdered, before we really got to see the impact of those past connections. Daniele Venturelli/WireImage / Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Maya Jama were pictured together on the front row during Milan Fashion Week in 2024 Meanwhile, Maya Jama is best known for hosting Love Island, but she's also popped up in loads of other places - including at this year's Brit Awards, where she presented an award with James Blunt . She's also been on Ranganathan's hip hop podcast, attended Milan Fashion Week with Leigh-Anne Pinnock , and she, Joe Lycett and James Acaster all appeared on The Big Fat Quiz of the Year. But Jama played down her connections on Celebrity Traitors, saying ahead of the show: “I've met a few people in the cast, but nobody really knows me, so we're all starting from scratch.” Bella and Sebastian are Westeros alumni Usually the younger celebs in the castle tend to know fewer people, but Bella Ramsey is pretty well connected. Notably, Ramsey and another younger cast member, Sebastian Croft , both starred in season six of Game of Thrones. Ramsey also worked with James Blunt on the film Sunny Dancer, was interviewed by James Acaster on his Off Menu podcast - and had a funny chat about their "vegan-ish" diet with Romesh Ranganathan on The Jonathan Ross Show. Ahead of the show, Croft said he didn't know many people aside from Ramsey before joining. "One of the other things I'm excited about is this will be the first time I'm playing with people who, on the whole, don't know me and don't know how I work,” he said. Richard and Jerry go way back “I just don't believe Richard's a traitor. I've known him 30 years and he's my neighbour.” That was American model Jerry Hall , speaking after actor Richard E Grant came under (admittedly self-inflicted) pressure in the opening episode of the series. As well as being neighbours, the pair are linked in lots of other ways. Rune Hellestad/Corbis via Getty Im
