Glasgow actress Sharon Rooney is set to appear in the second series of Celebrity Traitors on the BBC.

The star, who is best known for her role in My Mad Fat Diary, is among 21 celebrities heading to a Scottish Highland castle for the chance to win up to £100,000 for charity.

She will be joined by a host of famous faces including Industry actress Myha'la Herrold, model Jerry Hall, Saltburn actor Richard E Grant and comedians James Acaster, Joe Lycett and Romesh Ranganathan.

Rob Beckett, Joanne McNally, Coronation Street star Julie Hesmondhalgh, broadcaster Amol Rajan, mathematician Professor Hannah Fry, content creator King Kenny and actor Sebastian Croft are also among the line-up.

They will go up against traitors including singer-songwriter James Blunt, former Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock, actress Miranda Hart and Love Island presenter Maya Jama.

The show is hosted by Claudia Winkleman and sees the majority of contestants, known as faithfuls, attempt to identify and vote out the traitors hiding among them.

The first series of Celebrity Traitors aired last autumn and became the biggest TV audience of 2025, averaging 14.9 million viewers across its run.

Its finale peaked at 15.4 million viewers and saw comedian Alan Carr crowned the winner as a Traitor.
