Kate Garraway has made an emotional confession and said that she has done “a lot of crying” since her husband died. Derek Draper died last January, aged 56, and Kate said she hoped to use her time on Celebrity Traitors as an opportunity to have fun. The hit psychological reality series will be hosted once again by Claudia Winkleman, with celebrities battling it out to uncover secret saboteurs in a high-stakes game of lies and loyalty. Kate is one of the many famous faces taking part, and she recently revealed why she decided to sign up to the gripping BBC series.
According to MailOnline, she said: “I’ve been through so many challenges over the last five years, I’ve faced a lot of actual life and death moments, and I’ve done a lot of crying over all that’s happened to our family. It’s all been so serious.”

She added: “So, this feels like a chance to have fun and make a little mischief playing in what I genuinely believe is the best game on TV.”
The lineup also includes Traitors superfan Stephen Fry, Olympian Tom Daley, television host Jonathan Ross, and BBC star Alan Carr. Comedian Joe Wilkinson will also be in the Scottish castle alongside singer Paloma Faith and former England rugby player Joe Marler. Line of Duty star Mark Bonnar is also making an appearance, as well as presenter Clare Balding and singer Cat Burns.

This time, there’s more than just honour on the line: a £100,000 prize fund is up for grabs. The winning Traitors—or Faithfuls, depending on how the game unfolds—will split the cash, which will be donated to charities of their choice, adding a meaningful twist to the cloak-and-dagger competition.
The first episode of the series will air on Wednesday (08.10.25) but the BBC is so confident of its success that it has already reportedly commissioned a second series.
A source told The Sun: “The Celebrity Traitors is landing at the very peak of the format’s popularity, it’s the biggest show on the box, globally, and the cast is exceptional.
“Everyone knows something would have gone incredibly wrong if this didn’t become the TV event of the year. The official message is that a formal recommission depends how well series one does, but in reality it’s all but a done deal.”
