I personally don't like this fixation with celebrity versions of programmes.
They bring a programme out featuring members of the public, people like it, and the knee-jerk reaction always seems to be 'get some people that used to be in soaps, barely-memorable pop bands, and former politicians to star in a version'.
I like seeing real people on these programmes as I feel more invested in the gameplay. A big win would massively affect that person's life and the lives of those around them. It's great television.
There's only so many times you can watch Louis Walsh and Gemma Collins winning a few grand for a charity before it gets boring.
I was really hoping that The Traitors would be immune from this 'celebrification' but alas not.
