What has he said about being on Celebrity Traitors?
Speaking about if he wants to be a Traitor, he said: “To be honest, I don't really mind but I would like to have the full experience of this game. It'd be great to be both, which would mean starting as a Faithful and then surviving long enough to maybe get seduced.
“But bearing in mind the odds of that happening, there are lots of variables there, so maybe it'd be better just to start as a Traitor. I think being a Traitor is probably more fun.”
He is one of the original trio of Traitors in the new BBC spin-off. See who else is one.
