TV fans, rejoice! After months of rampant speculation, we finally know who will be joining Claudia Winkleman in Ardross Castle for The Celebrity Traitors season 2.
The BBC announced the entire Celebrity Traitors season 2 cast on Saturday morning, and it's a really impressive line-up.
In total, 21 celebs have signed up to play the most intense game of wink murder of their lives, including: Bella Ramsey, James Acaster, Jerry Hall, Amol Rajan, James Blunt, Joanne McNally, Joe Lycett, Miranda Hart, Michael Sheen, Richard E. Grant and plenty more.
You've got to hand it to the BBC, on paper this is a really strong cast (at least one person has told me they think it might be better than the first), and it proves the strength of The Traitors brand.
Indeed, if you go online, the general sentiment - with some small grumblings that Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett are getting yet another show - is that the Beeb has smashed it.
Well, I hate to be a contrarian (no, I don't), but I don't agree. In fact, I think the BBC has made a colossal mistake when deciding who to ship to Scotland.
And, no, I don't mean that they've forgotten to include Bob Mortimer again.
You see, while The Celebrity Traitors season 2 boasts more stars than the night sky, they're predominantly comics or actors, and I don't think that's good for the game.
No, I think this cast needs a big sports star to stir things up a bit.
It may sound controversial, especially given the recent behaviour of David Haye on I'm A Celeb, but I think athletes bring something special to reality TV.
Specifically because they're competitive and they occupy a different 'social circle' to other celebs, which means they don't feel the need to be as conciliatory at the round table.
Just look at the first season of Celebrity Traitors.
The whole thing was a rather chummy affair for the first few episodes, which were carried by the delicious irony that no one could work out that the visibly nervous Alan Carr was a Traitor
Had that been the vibe of the whole series, though, I do not think Celebrity Traitors would have been as popular as it has turned out to be.
Sure, it was funny for a few episodes, but after a while, seeing everyone be so friendly while Alan sweated into his green cloak would have worn thin.
After all, reality TV is a genre that thrives on discomfort, confrontation and people making bad decisions under pressure.
Basically, we needed someone to add some drama to proceedings, and thankfully, Joe Marler was more than happy to oblige.
He came in like Miley Cyrus (i.e., a wrecking ball) to cause some genuine chaos and stir the pot once he'd found his feet and got bored with everyone being so nice.
Speaking to Metro at the time, Joe admitted that he felt he had the space to do that because he wasn't necessarily part of the other celebs' worlds.
'I just got so lost in the game, and at no point was I thinking of how it was coming across or how I should behave,' he explained.
This attitude saw Joe butt heads with Jonathan Ross and Alan at the roundtable in some of the show's most memorable moments.
Most notably, there was the incredibly awkward moment where Joe demanded Alan share his thoughts with the group.
'I haven't heard a huge amount from you at the roundtable,' he said. 'Open up your lugholes.'
It made for uncomfortable viewing, but it was also one of the few times in the show when Alan was on the back foot and unable to deflect suspicion.
I fear that with the majority of people being from the same circle, we're not going to get these confrontations.
And it's these scenes where we see the Traitors forced to think on their feet and make mistakes that make the show so fun to watch.
Furthermore, I think that while a lot of actors, comics, and singers are undoubtedly ambitious, they don't need the same competitive edge as sports stars do, especially in their prime.
Take Richard E. Grant, for example. Do you think he's going to be desperate to prove himself to the rest of the room? I doubt it. I think he's probably content with his Oscar nominations.
Sportspeople, though, never lose that edge; they need it to stay in the spotlight, and it makes them approach games in a very different way than others.
Perhaps I'm being a bit pessimistic, as there are some very competitive people in the castle.
Most notably, there's James Acaster, who proved how competitive he could be when he appeared on Taskmaster.
Yes, he also proved he was wildly incompetent, but that's half the fun.
What's more, in the past, James has also challenged his fellow comedians to wrestling matches, and who could forget his chaotic appearance on Sunday Brunch?
In other words, my problem with The Celebrity Traitors season 2 isn't that it lacks star power; it's that the current line-up might be a bit too cordial for its own good.
So while the BBC may well have assembled a likeable cast, I'm not convinced they've built one that will turn on each other when it really matters.
The Celebrity Traitors returns this autumn.
