The Traitors sequel sees huge names announced for Comic Relief sketch

Several massive stars have their cloaks ready for a Comic Relief sketch called The Traitors: The Movie – The Sequel, in which they will play some of the nation’s favourites from this year’s series of the hit show

This year, the celeb stars will be playing those who took part in the real show.
