Amanda Holden has shared that she thinks a close pal will be "terrible" on The Celebrity Traitors.
The 54-year-old presenter, who grew up in Bishop's Waltham, shared that Alan Carr, with whom she co-hosts the BBC travel show Amanda and Alan's Renovation with, is "rubbish" at keeping secrets.
After three successful series on the BBC, The Traitors is launching a celebrity version of the show, which includes the likes of Alan, Stephen Fry, Clare Balding, Tom Daley and Paloma Faith among the line-up.
Amanda hopes that Alan will end up being designated as a 'traitor' as it would make for "hilarious" viewing.
Speaking to The Mirror, she said: "I think he'd be a terrible traitor and I think if they had any sense, that's exactly what they'd make him be. It would be hilarious because he is rubbish at trying to keep secrets.
"He told me last year he was doing Traitors. It was like the biggest secret, I was like, 'Shush, Alan!'"
It comes as Amanda launches a new game show called The Inner Circle, which she says has "elements" of shows like Traitors and The Weakest Link.
The format sees contestants battle it out in games and challenges to inject cash into a prize pot.
Similarly to The Traitors, the amount taken away is decided by who the group can trust and who might betray them at the end.
Its first episode aired on Saturday, October 4, with it being broadcast before Strictly Come Dancing on the schedule.
Amanda said: "The Saturday night takes the show up another level, just before Strictly. I'm their warm-up, which is just a brilliant place to be!"
When will The Celebrity Traitors be on and how does it work?
If you haven't watched The Traitors before, contestants stay at a castle in the Scottish Highlands, where a few are secretly designated as 'Traitors' whose job is to 'murder' their fellow players, without getting caught
The rest are 'Faithfuls' who try to detect who the 'Traitors' are and banish them from the game before they become their next victim.
Players work together to build up money for the cash prize at the end, which is won through games and other challenges.

To win the cash prize, the 'Faithfuls' must have eliminated all of the 'Traitors' by the end of the series, which means any remaining players would share the money.
However, if a 'Traitor' has managed to avoid detection, they will take it all.
Usually, the players are aiming to win money for themselves, but the Celebrity version will see the contestants hoping to win a cash prize up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.
The Celebrity Traitors will air at 9pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
