‘Let the games begin!’

“Jonathan, Cat and Alan as Traitors is SO MUCH FUN!!” one user wrote on X.

“Cat Burns as a Traitor, she’s gonna thrive,” another person shared.

“Alan Carr is either going to be the worst Traitor of all time or possibly the best we’ve ever seen. There is no in between. Either way, let the games begin!” a third remarked.

“I think Cat will be an incredible Traitor #CelebrityTraitors,” a fourth said.

“Alan Carr as the Traitor is going to be gold,” a fifth expressed.

Another echoed: “Alan and Jonathan as traitors is going to be absolute chaos. Obsessed.”

‘Way too obvious!’

Meanwhile, some were not impressed.

“Alan Carr? Really. He has zero poker face, I cannot see him lasting. Cat and Jonathan could do well,” one insisted.

“Alan and Jonathan were such obvious choices,” another wrote, adding the eye-roll face emoji.

“Alan Carr and Jonathan Ross as traitors would make great TV but wayyy too obvious!” a third shared.

“Why would Alan Carr be a Traitor? Gonna be awful,” a fourth said.
