🎭 The Celebrity Traitors starts tonight
As the nation gears up for the twists and turns of The Celebrity Traitors, we’ve been reminded that LIFI25 has had its fair share of famous faces (but no cloaks or blindfolds required).
From acclaimed historian David Olusoga to broadcaster Kate Garraway, LIFI audiences have enjoyed big conversations with some of the UK’s most loved and respected voices.
And over on our partner site Welcome to Leeds, you’ll find another link to the TV spectacle, actress Celia Imrie, who’s also starring in The Celebrity Traitors. Leeds folk might remember her as the voice of the first-ever Christmas projections on The Queens Hotel back in 2023.
So whether you’re watching Claudia shuffle the faithful and the traitors tonight, or waiting for the big ideas of LIFI25, one thing’s clear… Leeds knows how to put on a good drama.
