Good Morning Britain’s Kate Garraway ‘signs up to BBC Celebrity Traitors and will start filming in Scotland next month’

Kate Garraway has reportedly signed up to Celebrity Traitors for the first star-studded spin-off of the hit BBC show.

The Good Morning Britain host, 57, is joining Stephen Fry, 67, and former England rugby star Joe Marler, 34, at the famous Ardross Castle in Scotland. 

Kate appeared in the 2019 series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! and came in fourth before EastEnders star Jacqueline Jossa went onto win. 

Four month after returning from Down Under, Kate’s husband Derek Draper, with whom she has two children, contracted Covid and later died in January 2024 after a four-year fight. 

During his struggle, she campaigned to raise awareness about the effects of long Covid and was candid about the financial difficulties she faced funding his care. 

A source has now tole The Sun that the presenter will be in Scotland next month to start filming the show, which will be presented by Claudia Winkleman.

They said: ‘Kate has signed her contract for Celebrity Traitors. The BBC were avoiding stars who’ve done reality TV before but Kate’s someone they want to support and champion.

‘She’s a great journalist and they think she’s perfect for a seat at the table. 

‘She’s had such a tough time since losing Derek and is a huge fan of the show so this is a dream come true for her.’

A spokesperson for the BBC told MailOnline: ‘The Traitors includes lies and deception, so it would be foolhardy for any Faithful to speculate before the game has begun.’

MailOnline have contacted Kate’s representatives for comment. 

It comes after England rugby legend Joe Marler reportedly signed on to join the cast of Celebrity Traitors as well. 

Former England prop, 34, who confirmed his retirement from international rugby in November, is set to take part in the BBC show.

It seems the sports star will be getting stuck into retirement and swapping the pitch for a scenic castle in the Highlands after allegedly joining the high-profile cast.

A source told The Sun: ‘Joe has officially signed his contract for Celebrity Traitors and can’t wait to get stuck in.’

They added: ‘Joe is a huge fan of The Traitors and the BBC loved him when they met him for an interview for the show.

‘He says he’s got his game plan all mapped out and thinks he can go all the way.’

MailOnline contacted representatives for Joe and the BBC for comment.

It comes as Kate, Amelia Dimoldenberg, and Maxine Peake joined the stars taking part in Celebrity Great British Bake Off, which began last week. 

Hosts Alison Hammond, 50, and Noel Fielding, 51, will welcome 20 stars into the tent for the Stand Up To Cancer special where their efforts will be judged by Paul Hollywood, 59, and new judge Caroline Waldegrave, 72. 

In each episode, four celebrities will be challenged to create their best bakes in the signature, technical, and showstopper rounds. 

Paul and Caroline, long-standing friends of the legendary Prue Leith, 85, will judge the celebrities’ baking efforts and decide who deserves the coveted Star Baker тιтle each week.

The celebrity line-up for this season includes Sarah Beeny, Adam Buxton, Amelia, Scarlette and Stuart Douglas, Kate, Ellie Goldstein, and Gloria Hunniford OBE. 

Also among the hopefuls are Jim Howick, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Roman Kemp, Jamali Maddix, Maxine, Chris and Rosie Ramsey, Rebecca Lucy Taylor, Meera Syal, Tommy Tiernan, Phil Wang, and Sophie Willan.

Bake Off hosts Alison and Noel will return to provide encouragement for the celebrity bakers as they go head-to-head in the Bake Off tent. 

This year’s Great Celebrity Bake Off will be a notable one, as it is the first season not judged by Prue.

Instead, celebrity chef Paul will be joined by her close friend Caroline, a former co-owner and managing director of Leiths School of Food & Wine. 

Prue’s decision to step away temporarily from the celebrity edition of the show was confirmed early last year.
