Celebrity Traitors Odds: Daisy May Cooper In The Mix As Lineker's Price Is Cut
The excitement over the first-ever Celebrity Traitors series has been increasing over the past couple of weeks and several more names have been linked to next year's star-studded version of The Traitors.
A number of stars have been priced up on betting sites, but bosses are remaining tight-lipped about who will be Traitors or Faithful in the celebrity series.
A Traitors spokesperson said: "This is a game of lies so it would be foolhardy for Faithful to speculate before it begins."

In The Traitors, dubbed the "ultimate game of deception", contestants are split into groups of Faithful and Traitors, with the aim for the Faithfuls to work out who the Traitors are.
Each night, the Traitors are able to "murder" one of the Faithful, but beforehand the whole group meet in roundtable banishments to send one of their co-stars home, with the majority hoping they axe a Traitor rather than a Faithful.
Celebrity Traitors will start filming early next year at Scotland's Ardross Castle and there looks set to be some double trouble in the historic venue.
Daisy May And Charlie To Bring Castle Comedy
As we know from The Traitors, things can get a bit tense in the castle when everyone is trying to work out who is who.
This will no doubt be the case in the celebrity version, too, so regular comedy injections might be required.
Celebrity Traitors looks set to get a double dose of that in the shape of This Country stars Daisy May and Charlie Cooper, after the siblings are said to have signed up to the murder-mystery show as a pair.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Bosses are convinced Daisy and Charlie will be great players. They’re hilarious, witty and have award-winning acting skills."

Following the speculation, Daisy and Charlie are just 1/2 on betting apps to take part in the programme.
But one double act who look unlikely to appear in Celebrity Traitors is retired tennis star Sir Andy Murray and his mother Judy Murray.
The mother-and-son duo have drifted to 25/1 following speculation they have turned the show down.
Other short-priced stars expected to appear in Celebrity Traitors include TV presenter Stephen Fry (8/13), former Olympic diver Tom Daley (8/13) and actor/comedian Ricky Gervais, who is a 4/6 chance.
Omg. According to reports, the BBC ARE asking celebrities to take part in a ‘star studded edition’ of #TheTraitors later this year… and COURTENEY COX is *actually* looking to sign up 👀 pic.twitter.com/2ykKD40oWn

Paloma Has To Be A Faith-ful, Right?
Paloma Faith is the latest star who has been linked to the BBC show, and she is expected to bring some "glam to the castle".
The Can't Rely On You hitmaker won't be able to trust many of her co-stars on the programme.
She is 11/10 to take part, just behind the likes of TV presenters Jonathan Ross (8/11) and Clare Balding (5/6) in the market, as well as comedian Bob Mortimer.
The Evens chance recently admitted he would "love" to appear on the show. He told the Daily Mirror: "It's the only show of its kind on TV that I would agree to get involved with but, yes, definitely count me in, I'd love to do it.
"I watch the American, UK and Australian versions of The Traitors. I think they're all great, it's a brilliant format. And Claudia is the best of the presenters."
Lineker's Castle Goal After MOTD Announcement
One star who will soon have some more time on their hands is Gary Lineker.
The Match of the Day presenter confirmed this week that he will hang up his microphone at the end of the current campaign, after 25 seasons at the helm.
While he is to continue with the BBC next year, fronting the corporation's FA Cup coverage and their World Cup coverage in 2026, Lineker is likely to be inundated with TV offers in the meantime.
It wouldn't be a surprise if Celebrity Traitors bosses come calling, and following his Match of the Day news, the former England footballer's price has crashed.

He is now just 2/1 to take part in the programme from 10/1 and is shorter than the likes of Strictly host Tess Daly and her husband Vernon Kay (5/2) and American actress Anna Kendrick (3/1).
It's thought Lineker might turn to political podcasting when he departs Match of the Day and if so he could pick up some tips from ITV News' political editor Robert Peston on Celebrity Traitors.
Peston is just 4/1 to take part in the show, while Rylan Clark is a 6/1 chance and the civilian show's own host, Claudia Winkleman, is a 50/1 outsider to make the shock move from presenter to contestant.
