Celebrity Traitors fans keen to find out who will step through the doors of the infamous castle.

The smash-hit BBC reality programme is scheduled to make its comeback to television screens soon, and as speculation about the line-up, Death in Paradise star Ben Miller has apparently dismissed suggestions that he has been approached to feature in the celebrity edition.

The actor, whose name had been connected to the upcoming second series of the popular BBC spin-off, made an appearance on Wednesday's (April 22) instalment of Good Morning Britain alongside presenters Ed Balls and Susanna Reid, as well as entertainment correspondent Richard Arnold.

The star, who portrayed DI Richard Poole in the enduring BBC crime drama, joined the ITV breakfast programme to discuss his latest children's book.

Nevertheless, it became evident that Richard was determined not to allow Ben to depart the studio without tackling speculation that he is set to feature in the new series of Celebrity Traitors, reports The Mirror.

Addressing the actor, he said: "Before I let you go.. Traitor or faithful? You're one of the many names in the mix and I know filming starts in Scotland."

Ben dismissed the speculation as he responded: "I would love to do it. I haven't been invited.. Spoiler. I would be a faithful, I don't know how anyone could be a..."

Richard appeared unconvinced by Ben's denial as he interjected and said: "That's what they all say." Ben teased: "Maybe I am just saying that, right?

"Oh ok, right. There we go, maybe we can't trust caramel coloured jacket as much as we thought we could," Richard added.

Last month, it was revealed that the BBC had landed a significant new deal covering both The Traitors and Celebrity Traitors, securing the beloved franchise on our screens for years ahead.

Viewers can look forward to multiple further series of the flagship show alongside additional celebrity editions, with the format firmly embedded in the BBC's entertainment schedule right through to 2030.

Last year, Claudia Winkleman stepped up to host the inaugural celebrity instalment, which boasted an impressive roster of well-known faces, including Clare Balding, Tom Daley, Kate Garraway, Paloma Faith, and Sir Stephen Fry.

Yet the Traitors Jonathan Ross, Cat Burns, and Alan Carr were far from accommodating, wasting absolutely no time in picking off their fellow celebrities one by one under the cover of darkness.

In the end, Chatty Man's Alan fooled his co-star and bagged a whopping £87,500. It's safe to say his win made TV history.

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV1 and ITVX
