Tom Hiddleston Forced to Drop Out of Celebrity Traitors Season 2 at Last Minute

Tom Hiddleston was all set to join the cast of Celebrity Traitors Season 2, but he’s had to pull out at the last minute due to a scheduling clash with a film project.

The 45-year-old actor, who’s known for his iconic role as Loki in the Avengers franchise, was reportedly “gutted” to miss the show, which he had previously praised as “maybe the best television I’ve seen”.

Hiddleston had expressed interest in being a “Faithful” contestant, saying it would be more interesting to play detective and figure out who the Traitors are.

His withdrawal comes as a blow to fans, who were excited to see him join the likes of Michael Sheen, Richard E. Grant, and Jerry Hall in the Scottish castle.

The Celebrity Traitors Season 2 lineup includes other notable celebrities like Maya Jama, Bella Ramsey, and James Blunt, and is set to premiere in autumn 2026 on BBC One, hosted by Claudia Winkleman.
