Do you think he’d make it to the end? <\/p>

A rumoured celebrity version of The Traitors<\/a> (UK) is still yet to be confirmed by the BBC, but another noteworthy name has thrown their hat into the ring should one come about \u2013 and that\u2019s Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> star Giovanni Pernice.<\/p>\n

The ballroom dancer has revealed that he \u2018loves\u2019 the nail-biting game show, in which 22 strangers converge on a castle in Scotland for the ultimate game of strategy and deception.<\/p>\n

Players work together to build up an enormous prize pot, but amongst them are a small number of Traitors who will steal the winnings from the group of Faithfuls if they make it to the end of the game.<\/p>\n

The nation has been enthralled by the second season of the UK edition, which concluded on Friday with a jaw-dropping finale in which two Traitors and hree Faithfuls were left. Find out what happened in our spoiler-filled summary here<\/a>.<\/p>

Appearing on The One Show earlier this week, Pernice was asked if he\u2019d take part in a hypothetical celebrity Traitors<\/a>, replying: \u201cSign me up right now\u2026 Yes!\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, the dancer would have at least one familiar face in the castle as the show is fronted by Strictly Come Dancing co-presenter Claudia Winkleman, albeit in a somewhat more menacing persona than usual.<\/p>\n

Speaking on companion show The Traitors Uncloaked on Friday, Winkleman said she didn\u2019t expect the show to be successful and pondered the merits of ending after season 1, fearing it couldn\u2019t be topped.<\/p>\n
