Mark Bonnar Reveals Challenges for Actors on Celebrity Traitors
In a recent interview on This Morning, Mark Bonnar, a contestant on the upcoming BBC One show Celebrity Traitors, shared insights into the unique challenges faced by actors in the game. Bonnar revealed that he and his fellow actors had to work harder to convince others that they were "Faithfuls," as they came under increased scrutiny compared to their non-acting counterparts.
Celebrity Traitors, featuring a star-studded lineup, filmed earlier this year and is set to air in the autumn. Contestants are vying for a £100,000 prize to donate to charity. Bonnar, known for his roles in gritty dramas like Line of Duty and Guilt, hinted that his history of portraying complex characters might have influenced perceptions of trustworthiness. He remarked, "I play characters who are hiding something… but in real life, I’m quite laid back."
The intense atmosphere of the show, particularly during the roundtable discussions, was a focal point for Bonnar, who noted that debates often revolved around the authenticity of the actors’ roles. Notable participants alongside Bonnar include Stephen Fry, Celia Imrie, and Tom Daley, each bringing their own performative skills to the mix.
Bonnar also admitted that the experience proved stressful, despite being enjoyable. “You’re cut off from communication, and it becomes the last thing on your mind before bed and the first thing upon waking,” he said. The star expressed excitement for the viewer’s response and expected dramatic interactions among the cast.
As anticipation builds for the show’s premiere, viewers can expect high-stakes tension and intrigue come autumn.
