Buckinghamshire singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock is set to be on screens tonight as The Celebrity Traitors returns.
The former Little Mix star, who was born in High Wycombe, is among 21 famous faces taking part in the second series of the hit BBC competition.
Viewers will see Pinnock alongside a star-studded line-up including EastEnders actor Ross Kemp, comedian Miranda Hart, presenter Maya Jama, actor Michael Sheen and The Last Of Us star Bella Ramsey as they head to Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands.
Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, the series sees 21 celebrity contestants attempting to identify a group of secret traitors hiding among them while competing to win up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.
Ahead of the new series, Pinnock said she planned to remain "cool as a cucumber" during the game.
The singer said she had been inspired by fellow musician Cat Burns, who appeared in the first celebrity edition of the programme.
She will be joined by the likes of Saltburn actor Richard E Grant, My Mad Fat Diary star Sharon Rooney and BBC journalist Amol Rajan, along with singer James Blunt and US actress Myha’la.

American supermodel and actress Jerry Hall, 70, is the oldest contestant taking part but thinks she will be OK as she is “quite an active person”, while Joanne McNally declared that she and her fellow comedians taking part will be “more than willing to throw each other under the bus”.
Other comics in the line-up include James Acaster, Joe Lycett, Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett.
Julie Hesmondhalgh is also involved in the new series, and the former Coronation Street star will be joined by broadcaster and mathematician Professor Hannah Fry, as well as musician and actor Sebastian Croft.
YouTube star King Kenny is another addition and has vowed to avenge his friend and fellow content creator Niko Omilana, who was the first celebrity to be banished in the previous series.
The first series of The Celebrity Traitors aired last autumn, with its nail-biting finale hitting a peak of 15.4 million viewers, according to the BBC.
It featured a star-studded cast including actors Celia Imrie and Nick Mohammed, author and actor Sir Stephen Fry, broadcaster Jonathan Ross and comedian Alan Carr, who went on to win as a traitor.
The spin-off series brought in an average audience of 14.9 million people during its run – the biggest TV audience of 2025.
The Celebrity Traitors begins on Thursday October 1 at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
