It has left the BBC with a major hole in the murder mystery as This Country actors Daisy and Charlie were the line-up’s related duo – which is considered integral to the game.
With filming set for April, trying to find two celebrities with a family link and time in their diary could be tricky.
A source said: “Daisy May and Charlie were so excited about taking part but once the demands of the show became clear Daisy had to sadly accept it would be tough as a mum-of-three.
“The Traitors cast has to be completely off grid and can’t be on FaceTime every night, or nipping to see their children on a day off filming.
“Everyone tried to make it work but Daisy obviously has to put her family first.”
Daisy, 38, is mother to Pip, five, and Jack, three, with her ex husband Will Weston and welcomed Benji in June with boyfriend Anthony Huggins.
Stars lined up for the celebrity version of Claudia Winkleman’s smash hit series so far include the likes of Stephen Fry, Alan Carr, Clare Balding and Tom Daley.
All three series of The Traitors have included a related duo – girlfriend and boyfriend Alex Gray and Tom Elderfield, mother and son Diane and Ross Carson and most recently sisters Armani and Maia Gouveia.

How does The Traitors work and who hosts it?
The Traitors first launched in the UK in 2022, after the Dutch format was acquired by the BBC.
Claudia Winkleman is the show’s host, and has now hosted all three series to date.
How does it work?
It is a reality game show that involves 22 contestants, and some of them are chosen to be The Traitors.
The Traitors sees a group of contestants taking part in “the ultimate game of truth and deception”.
The group of contestants are competing for the chance to walk away with a huge cash prize.
While navigating through a series of challenges, the team are also tasked with figuring out who the Traitors are in the group (usually three contestants).
Each night, the Traitors gather to “eliminate” one of the Faithful, removing them from the competition
Meanwhile, the traitors can be “banished” if they’re successfully outed as a traitor by a faithful.
The winners of the show are either the Traitor who remains undetected or the Faithfuls if they successfully eliminate all the Traitors.
The prize sees the winner could get £120K.
The source added: “The BBC will hope to sign another duo as it adds so brilliantly to the psychology of the game but time is ticking and finding two celebrities with time in their diaries – or the willingness to cancel other plans – could be tough.”
Over 110 million people have now watched the third series of The Traitors, full 30-day figures revealed.
