Alison Hammond for Alison Hammond's Big Weekend / BBC
Alison Hammond is reportedly on the wishlist for the next series of The Celebrity Traitors.
Last year’s inaugural edition of the spinoff was an unbridled success for the BBC, with more than 15 million viewers thought to have tuned in for the final.
A second series is due to be filmed later this Spring and according to The Sun, producers are hopeful of signing up This Morning and The Great British Bake Off host Hammond.
“Alison is on the BBC’s hit list for Celebrity Traitors and she’s keen,” a source told the newspaper.
“The Beeb think she could be comedy gold, just like Alan Carr. Alison is naturally very funny and they think she could end up being hugely successful.
“The pot of talent wanting to take part is overflowing so they have a lot to weigh up. The first series of The Celebrity Traitors was dynamite so the second series needs to have the same weight.
“Contracts won’t be signed until closer to the start of production but the BBC are already keen to get Alison on board.”
Other names linked with series two include comedian Daisy May Cooper, Gavin & Stacey‘s Ruth Jones and actor Danny Dyer.
