Radio presenter Richie Anderson may have been the second celebrity to leave Strictly Come Dancing during last year\u2019s competition, but hopefully he\u2019d last a bit longer on a celebrity edition of The Traitors<\/a>, with the broadcaster revealing that he wants to do the game show with his Strictly co-stars.<\/p>\n

Speaking to RadioTimes.com<\/a> with professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova at the Radio Times Covers Party, <\/strong>Anderson suggested that BBC One should make a Strictly version of The Traitors.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you think you could be a Traitor, Nadiya?\u201d he asked the dancer, who replied that she wouldn\u2019t be able to take on the role.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s too faithful. You\u2019d be a good faithful,\u201d he said, with Bychkova adding: \u201cYes, but I\u2019d be gone quickly because I read people like that (snaps her fingers). That\u2019s it. Not good either.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anderson continued: \u201cThey should do a Strictly Traitors \u2013 wouldn\u2019t that be a good idea!\u201d<\/p>\n

While the BBC is yet to renew The Traitors for a second season or commission the show for a celebrity spin-off, it could follow in the footsteps of its American cousin, which saw both civilians and celebrities take part in The Traitors US<\/a>.<\/p>

The competition, which aired in December last year, saw host Claudia Winkleman<\/a> welcome 22 contestants into a Scottish castle<\/a>, where those chosen to be Faithfuls would try to uncover the Traitors hiding among them before the latter group managed to eliminate them from the competition.<\/p>\n

Season 1 of The Traitors was won by the Faithfuls \u2013 Portsmouth property agent Aaron Evans, London comedian Hannah Byczkowski and Edinburgh call centre agent Meryl Williams \u2013 while the only remaining Traitor left, 28-year-old senior fundraiser Wilfred Webster, made it to the final before being eliminated by his fellow finalists at the last stage.<\/p>
