Not quite as good as last year, but still quite a few easily recognisable names. But unfortunately, they've succumbed and we have a "content creator". hmm

I don't know why they think young people will suddenly start watching it because they've got one of these non-celebrities on it. Young people just don't watch mainstream TV any more.

Only we grumpy old grans and gramps grin

Looking forward to it though.

They thought young people started watching Celeb Traitors due to the viewing figures.

King Kenny is as far from a "non-celebrity" as you can get, he also seems to be the only sports person on it.

My teenage GDs love it and watch with their parents. I think it can be appreciated by teens upwards, if it's your thing’. I understand that some people won’t like it, but that goes for all TV programmes.

I only recognised half of the last lot, which is a fairly good hit rate for me, but I thoroughly enjoyed the series, as I always do.

Knowing what someone does in their work is not relevant to seeing how they behave in the programme. I also enjoy the 'civilian' versions where knowing who they are doesn't come into it - we get to know them as the show goes on.

Looking forward to it. I’ve had a read through the list and recognise most of the names. A few I’ve never heard of but I don’t think that matters.

There are a couple I’m not keen on but I felt the same way about Alan Carr before the last series. He grew on me very quickly.

It’s good to have a programme that’s enjoyed by all generations. My 4 grandchildren aged 11 to 19 all love it. If we’re not watching it together we usually chat about it between episodes.
