Who’s tipped to win Celebrities Traitors Season2 so far?
According to William Hill as of 22nd May 2026, Comedian and co-host of the My Therapist Ghosted Me podcast Joanne McNally is an early favourite to win the show this year.
Lee Phelps, spokesperson for the betting brand said: “Season One of Celebrity Traitors proved that comedians thrive in the castle, and the early betting suggests it could be a similar story this season; we’ve installed Irish comic Joanne McNally as the early favourite at 6/1 to emerge victorious from Ardross Castle.
“James Blunt is next in the betting at 13/2, followed by Bella Ramsey and Michael Sheen, who are both priced at 7/1, while Maya Jama is 8/1. James Acaster sits at 9/1 alongside Joe Lycett and Julie Hesmondhalgh.
“At the other end of the market, Sharon Rooney and Amol Rajan are 20/1, just shy of King Kenny at 25/1 – who is considered as the early outsider to win the series. “In terms of which team will come out on top, we’re giving the edge to the Faithfuls at 8/11 to exact revenge after the Traitors (EVS), lead by Alan Carr, won the inaugural series last year.”
