Comic fronts 'visualised podcast' for the BBC

Ed Gamble is to host an official companion programme for the next series of The Traitors.

The Traitors: Uncloaked will air on BBC Two immediately after each episode of the hit reality show airs on BBC One – and  available as an audio podcast on BBC Sounds.

Gamble said: ‘The first series of The Traitors was my absolute obsession, and I cannot wait to delve deep into series 2 and dissect all the twists and turns it has to offer. It goes without saying that I am 100 per cent faithful.’

Louise Kattenhorn, who commissioned the show for BBC Sounds added: ‘The Traitors is a show that everyone is going to be talking about and this visualised podcast will be like joining the ultimate group chat, with cast members and celebrity guest fans revelling in all the drama and gameplay along with superfan Ed Gamble. 

‘On top of that, we have footage of the moment banished and murdered players found out who the Traitors were amongst them - I can’t wait!’

Gamble already hosts the official Tasksmaster podcast, as well as Off-Menu with James Acaster. 

The BBC Sounds version will be longer than the visual episodes on BBC Two and iPlayer.

The Traitors and the Uncloaked spin off will launch early next year.
