After much anticipation, season 2 of The Celebrity Traitors kicked off last night<\/a>, with 21 famous faces ready to enter the castle<\/a>. The star-studded line-up featured a mix of musicians, actors, comedians and presenters, all hoping to win money for their chosen charities.<\/p>\n

Among the players is actor Michael Sheen, who is no stranger to delivering convincing performances. But how will he fare under the pressure of the Round Table? <\/p>\n

Having worked with Sheen on Good Omens’ since 2019, David Tennant is pretty confident about his co-star’s chances in the game.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Radio Times<\/a>, Tennant described Sheen as “brilliant” and praised his acting prowess. <\/p>\n

“Well, he’s a chameleon, isn’t he? He could be a different person every day, in full prosthetics, and they’ll be going, ‘Who the f**k is that? Why is Chris Tarrant here?'” the Doctor Who star said, referencing Sheen’s role in ITV’s Quiz. <\/p>\n

“I wouldn’t put [reaching the final] past him,” he added.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on whether he would follow in Sheen’s footsteps, Tennant decided he would rather enjoy the show from the comfort of his own home. <\/p>\n

“I don’t think The Celebrity Traitors is something I’d want to do \u2013 I’d find it very stressful \u2013 but I’m very glad it exists,” he said.<\/p>\n

He added: “I’d be very bad at it because I’m not great at deception, whereas Michael’s brilliant at it! He’ll be thrilled if he’s picked or seduced to be a traitor.”<\/p>\n
