The celebrity cast for the third season of the Traitors has been announced, and there is actual royalty in the mix.

The US version of the hit UK gameshow will be returning for another series, with Alan Cumming hosting proceedings once again.

As with the last two seasons, the line-up is full of reality TV legends – and some other wild names.

Britney Spears’ ex-husband, Sam Asghari, is among the huge names that will be travelling to the UK to take part – less than a year after splitting from the pop princess.

The Toxic singer has yet to comment on her former partner’s new career path, but we’re guessing she’ll be glued to her screen like the rest of us…

The former dancer will be rubbing shoulders Vanderpump Rules villain Tom Sandoval and Real Housewives of New York’s Dorinda Medley, who will be making the Scottish castle as ‘nice’ as possible.

Zac Efron’s brother Dylan will also be hunting out traitors with a string of Survivor and Big Brother legends.

However, the most surprising name on the list has to be Lord Ivar Mountbatten, the second cousin of King Charles III.

The plush Scottish castle won’t be as impressive to the Lord, who is part of the extended Royal family and is used to popping into Buckingham Palace whenever the mood takes.

He has made history as the first member of the monarchy’s extended family to be in an openly gay relationship, having married husband James Coyle in 2018.

The aristocrat will be swapping breakfasts with Prince Charles and co with roundtable showdowns with reality TV stars – including Selling Sunset’s Chrishell Stause, Bob the Drag Queen from RuPaul’s Drag Race and Ciara Miller from Summer House.

Dorinda will be joined by fellow Real Housewives Dolores Catania from New Jersey, Robyn Dixon from Potomac and Chanel Ayan Dubai.

Survivor stars Carolyn Wiger, Rob Mariano, Tony Vlachos and Jeremy Collins are also going along for the ride, with Big Brothers’ Britney Haynes and Danielle Reyes.

The Bachelor stars Gabby Windey and Wells Adams are rounding out the cast, beside WWE favorite, Nikki Garcia and the Biggest Loser host, Bob Harper.

‘The new season of the Traitors cast is uncloaked at last,’ Alan said, announcing the gang. ‘This is sure to be the most treacherous season yet.’

It has not been confirmed when we’ll get our hands on the third season, but we will be ready and waiting.

The competition sees a group of celebrities make themselves at home in a castle in Scotland as they attempt to figure out who among them is a Traitor in the hopes of winning up to $250,000.

Although the first program involved a mix of celebrities and civilians, the second and third have just been filled with stars.

Days after season two began on Peacock, it broke records on the platform – becoming the most-watched reality series so far.

Faithfuls CT Tamburello and Trishelle Cannatella went on to win the program in a tense finale, which saw them go up against sole Traitor Kate Chastain – who made a bombshell return to the castle after taking part in the first series.

They took home the $208,100 jackpot but this didn’t go down well with their co-stars, who weren’t thrilled by how things went down.

‘People were angry, a lot more than I thought they would be,” Trishelle told Vanity Fair of their reaction.

‘There was a clear difference between the competition reality show people and the other shows, because we’ve had to learn to live with disappointment and regret,’ CT agreed.

‘So I think we have thicker skin…and it wasn’t personal.’

Suggesting possible twists for the upcoming episodes, he continued: ‘Maybe put it in some more secret rooms. It would be funny to see people scouring through the whole castle, looking for the shield. It could be under a floorboard. It could be in a book, trap door. There’s a combination lock or something, you’re looking for a key.’

Trishelle added: ‘I would like to see something where a couple traitors were picked by Alan and then maybe one or two traitors, it was random.’

Will Peacock listen to their suggestions? We’ll have to wait and see…
