Miriam Margolyes Opens Up About Celebrity Traitors Offer

Miriam Margolyes at the Oxford Literary Festival in MarchAs we approach the halfway point of The Celebrity Traitors, fans have naturally already begun contemplating whether a second season could be on the cards, and which stars would be perfect for it next time around.Given her national treasure status, the gloriously unfiltered Bafta-winning actor Miriam Margolyes would no doubt be at the top of many people’s wish lists, but she’s already made it clear that’s not something she’d ever put herself through.In fact, she was invited to be on the current season, but gave it a wide berth.Per Metro, she told audiences at the Cheltenham Festival: “I was offered this job just recently – and I can’t think of anything I’d rather less do.”Miriam claimed: “’I’m not into that. I’ve never watched it, I don’t intend to watch it.”The Harry Potter star did concede that there are some “jolly good people” on the line-up “and if they want to do it for money, well, that’s fair enough”.However, she maintained: “You won’t get me on it.”Miriam isn’t the only big name who turned down the offer to appear on Celebrity Traitors, though.Daytime TV icon Martin Lewis, The Apprentice star Karren Brady and Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher have all claimed they were approached about appearing on Celebrity Traitors, but turned it down for a variety of reasons (and with varying levels of regret, apparently).Other stars were heavily rumoured for the series, but wound up not appearing on the line-up, including comedians Bob Mortimer and Jennifer Saunders.Celebrity Traitors star Jonathan Ross claimed recently that he has famous friends who’ve been contacted by Celebrity Traitors bosses about whether they’d want to be on season two – and he’s given them some very honest advice about his time on the show.The Celebrity Traitors continues on Wednesday and Thursday night at 9pm on BBC One.READ MORE:Jonathan Ross Clarifies Celebrity Traitors Comments After Claiming He 'Didn't Enjoy' The ShowCelia Imrie Keeps The Hilarious Moments Coming On Celebrity Traitors After That Viral FartI Thought This Would Be Celebrity Traitors' Biggest Flaw – But It's Actually Changed The Game
