‘Celebrity Traitors’ returns for its second series, and the first episode features new arrivals, coffin-related events, and disruption inside the castle. Multiple outlets report that the episode quickly escalates tensions as contestants navigate alliances and betrayals.

Richard E. Grant is highlighted in the coverage as a central figure driving conflict from the outset. The Scotsman notes Grant’s involvement in causing “chaos” in the castle and points to a shock confession that stands out during the episode. Metro also focuses on Grant’s impact, describing his presence as disastrous in the context of the game, while framing the overall line-up as having significant celebrity appeal.

Across the articles, the shared emphasis is on the episode’s immediate momentum and the way Grant’s actions shape early dynamics among players. Both sources treat the opening instalment as setting up the rest of the series, with the coffin elements and confession serving as key moments that alter the balance between contestants.
