Michael Sheen Fears Career Could Put Him at a Disadvantage on Celebrity Traitors
The Welsh actor says his profession may make him a target as 21 celebrities compete for a £100,000 charity prize.
- On October 1, the BBC reality series Celebrity Traitors returns, featuring Welsh actor Michael Sheen among a 21-celebrity cast. Set in a Scottish castle, contestants compete to identify hidden "traitors" to win up to £100,000 for charity.
- The hit reality show returns following a successful 2025 run, which peaked with 15.4 million viewers for the finale. The spin-off series averaged 14.9 million viewers, ranking as the biggest television audience of that year.
- Regarding his participation, Sheen, 57, said his professional background might be "a disadvantage" because people are already suspicious of actors. Despite this, the Welsh star joined because he is a "big fan" of the game.
- Joining the 21-celebrity cast, fellow actor Richard E. Grant noted his history playing villains makes him a likely target. Grant added, "a little bit of mischief is always welcome."
- Reflecting on the show's popularity, Sheen said the game "somehow speaks to something a bit deeper, maybe." This quality allows the series to transcend its genre and capture the cultural imagination.
