The Celebrity Traitors is down to its final four episodes. Series 2, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, airs on Thursday and Friday nights and drew an overnight audience of 8.9 million for its first episode. Six episodes in, two Traitors have been caught, six Faithful have gone, and 13 celebrities are still playing for their charities.
Episode 6 ended on the cruellest cliffhanger of the series. The Traitors had to murder in plain sight, luring Ross Kemp and Jerry Hall into a room sprayed with a sleep-inducing powder: whoever yawned first would be dead by morning. Episode 7, on Thursday 22 October at 8pm, reveals which of them paid the price. Before the endgame begins, here is every star still in the castle, ranked by estimated wealth — and our prediction for who wins.

Two of the original Traitors are already gone, which matters for the prediction below. Richard E. Grant and Hannah Fry were both banished, leaving a rebuilt turret of Maya Jama, James Acaster and King Kenny running the game.

Jerry Hall: Richest in the Castle, First in the Firing Line
Jerry Hall is not just the richest person left in the game; at an estimated £53 million (around $70 million, per Celebrity Net Worth) she is the richest star of the entire series. The supermodel’s fortune comes from a career that began in the 1970s, plus art sales and settlements following her separations from Mick Jagger and Rupert Murdoch. None of it protects her now: she is one of the two names waiting on Thursday’s reveal, and if the yawn caught her, the castle’s richest resident is gone before the final week.
The Faithful Millionaires Behind Her
James Blunt, estimated at around £14.5 million in series rich lists, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, whose Little Mix fortune is estimated at £10–18 million, lead the chasing pack. Pinnock also gave the series its most joyful viral moment, teaching Miranda Hart the “Touch” dance — the BBC even sent her a framed novelty vinyl, “Big Mix: Gory Days”, to mark it. Michael Sheen, estimated at around £10 million, completes the top four; among British television fortunes, few sit higher, as our look at Holly Willoughby’s net worth shows. All three are Faithful: the money in this castle mostly sits with the hunted, not the hunters.
The Traitors: Rich in Power, Not in Cash
The turret tells a different story. James Acaster (around £4.5 million — his company accounts have shown funds of a similar size), Maya Jama (around £2 million in the series rich list, with some estimates running higher) and King Kenny (around £1 million) are three of the least wealthy players left. What they hold instead is information: they know exactly who is who.
Our Prediction: Who Will Win Celebrity Traitors 2026?
This is a prediction, not a certainty — but the numbers favour the Traitors, narrowly. Two Traitors have been caught, yet the rebuilt trio has steadied, and murdering in plain sight in Episode 6 was their boldest move yet. Maya Jama holds the position every Traitor wants: liked, listened to, rarely accused. If any single Traitor reaches the final, she is the most likely.
The Faithful case rests on Michael Sheen and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, the two most watchful players left — and on the cliffhanger: if Ross Kemp survived the yawn, his detective’s instinct becomes a real threat. Our call: a Traitor win, with Maya Jama the single most likely winner, unless Sheen names the turret first. Nobody is playing for personal money, in any case; the prize goes to charity, and set against fortunes like those of the highest paid actors in the world, the pot matters here for pride, not pay.
When Are the Remaining Episodes On?
Episode 7 airs Thursday 22 October at 8pm on BBC One, Episode 8 follows on Friday 23 October, Episode 9 on Thursday 29 October, and the finale lands on Friday 30 October, all at 8pm, with The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked after each episode.

The endgame has everything: the richest star in the series waiting on a murder reveal, a rebuilt team of Traitors holding the castle’s secrets, and ten Faithful running out of time. The wealth ranking says the Faithful should win — they have the numbers and the biggest names. The game so far says otherwise.
