In a new clip to promote people applying for the second season, Claudia Winkleman can be seen urging members of the public to apply, with a certain masked figure behind her. Taking off her hood, Courteney Cox pleads with Winkleman saying: "Claudia, can I please do it?"

But Winkleman states: "I've said this to you before, it's a no. You cannot apply if you're a celebrity or as famous as this one. Now... off you go."

The entertainment show quickly proved a popular hit on the BBC when it aired late last year and has since amassed a loyal legion of fans who are more than a little excited over the prospect of another instalment.

While we don't have any word yet on when The Traitors season 2 will premiere, the broadcaster is currently accepting applications from those brave enough. Like Winkleman states, there's no room for celebs in this show, though.

The Traitors is available to stream on BBC iPlayer. Check out more of our Entertainment coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.
