UMVA has learned that Richard E Grant came dangerously close to spilling the beans about the highly anticipated reality show Celebrity Traitors during a recent interview on The One Show.
The 69-year-old actor, who was part of the star-studded lineup for the show's second season, has been tight-lipped about his experience filming at Ardross Castle in the Highlands. However, during the interview, hosts Roman Kemp and Alex Scott managed to get him to reveal more than he intended.
Grant initially played coy, responding to questions about Celebrity Traitors with a laugh and a shrug, saying "What's that?" But as the conversation continued, he let slip that his daughter, Olivia Grant, had doubts about his ability to keep secrets on the show.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Grant revealed that his daughter and her friends had told him he wouldn't last long on the show because he's incapable of hiding his feelings. He jokingly attributed his survival so far to hypnosis and a desire to keep his knees intact.
The conversation took a more serious turn when Grant discussed the advice he received from his close friend Celia Imrie, who was a contestant on the show. Imrie reportedly warned Grant about the cruelty of people you instinctively want to trust, saying that everyone suspects each other in the game-like environment of the show.
Grant's face fell as he realized he may have said too much, and he dramatically shoved his hand in his mouth, exclaiming "I've already said too much!" The incident has left fans eagerly anticipating the show's autumn premiere.
The full cast of Celebrity Traitors season 2 includes a diverse range of stars, from actors and comedians to musicians and broadcasters. With Grant's hints about the show's dynamics, viewers are wondering what other surprises the new season has in store.
