   Celebrity Traitors has us in a CHOKEHOLD

   Jamie and Alice are already fully obsessed with Celebrity Traitors… The pair get stuck into the chaos of Richard E. Grant’s VERY bold opening move, James Acaster’s sudden change of demeanour and the celebs who are already proving themselves as serious contenders. We ask the all-important question, just how much money is there to be made from a hit TV format? Jamie reveals the surprising story behind one of the biggest ideas in television while Alice has a few thoughts of her own about which shows could make their creators seriously rich. The pair discuss why Joanna McNally is terrifying Jamie, the return of Top Gear and the mysterious financial empire of Miss Rachel. Another week another absolute state in the trenches… Welcome back!
