The UK entertainment landscape is set to be enriched with a series of celebrity-focused reality television shows in the coming months. These programmes promise to offer viewers a blend of drama, competition, and star-studded participation, reflecting the nation's enduring fascination with celebrity culture.
One of the most anticipated shows is "Celebrity Traitors UK," a spin-off of the popular series "The Traitors." Scheduled to premiere on BBC One in Autumn 2025, the show will be hosted by Claudia Winkleman. Filmed at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands, the series will feature celebrities such as Tom Daley, Bob Mortimer, Stephen Fry, Jonathan Ross, and Clare Balding. Participants will engage in a murder-mystery format, with the aim of building a prize fund of up to £120,000 for charity. The show is expected to air over three weeks, with nine episodes in total.
Another notable addition is "Strictly Come Dancing 2025," set to return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer in Autumn 2025. Following the success of Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell's win in 2024, speculation is rife about the new celebrity contestants. Rumoured participants include Martine McCutcheon, Stacey Solomon, and Miranda Hart. The professional dancers confirmed to return include Katya Jones, Gorka Marquez, Johannes Radebe, and Nadiya Bychkova. The judging panel remains unchanged with Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, and Anton Du Beke. Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will continue their hosting roles. While no specific start date has been announced, the season is expected to launch around mid-September, as in previous years.
Additionally, "I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!" is set to return for its twenty-fifth series in November 2025. The show will once again be filmed in Murwillumbah, New South Wales, Australia, with Ant and Dec returning as hosts. The previous series, which concluded in December 2024, saw Danny Jones crowned as the "King of the Jungle." The upcoming series is expected to feature a new lineup of celebrities, though details have yet to be confirmed.
These forthcoming shows underscore the UK's appetite for celebrity-driven reality television. With a mix of established formats and fresh concepts, they are poised to capture the public's imagination and deliver the entertainment that audiences have come to expect.
As the premiere dates approach, further announcements regarding contestants, air dates, and additional details are anticipated. Fans can look forward to a season filled with excitement, drama, and the unique charm that only celebrity reality shows can offer.
