Wild new podcast alert! It’s just been revealed that the devious stars from reality smash hit The Traitors UK are getting their own series – and it’s a bit out there.

They’re joined by Stacey Dooley’s look at celebrity court cases, which differs from Gorton and Clark’s show in one disappointing respect: it doesn’t feature her explaining how she would have executed the crimes.
