Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher declined Celebrity Traitors because it’s not his thing and he’s not a celebrity.

“It’s not my thing. I’m not a celebrity.”

Ricky Gervais

Ricky Gervais said he’d love to join Celebrity Traitors but is too busy and the BBC can’t afford him.

“I love the show and I’m very flattered, but it won’t happen. I’m too busy and there’s no way they could afford me.”

Richard Osman

Richard Osman would only join Celebrity Traitors if he could be a Traitor to avoid lying awake while others filmed in cloaks.

“I said I would only do it if I could be a Traitor. I couldn’t bear, if I [were] a Faithful, that thing where you go back to your room at night, and you’re just lying there, [while] three people up in that tower, having a load of fun in cloaks and filming something.”

Martin Lewis

Martin Lewis felt FOMO after watching Celebrity Traitors but couldn’t commit time to join.

“I was asked if I wanted to do it, but said no as I couldn’t commit the time. I hadn’t watched it then, but watched the last series after that and loved it.”

Daisy May and Charlie Cooper

Daisy May and Charlie Cooper pulled out of Celebrity Traitors last year to focus on their young families.

“The siblings decided against taking part as they didn’t want to spend so much time away from their young families.”

Danny Dyer

Danny Dyer initially refused Celebrity Traitors but now wants to join after watching it.

“He admitted that he would be happy to take part and now he’s just waiting to be asked - so, maybe season three, then?”

The main idea

Liam Gallagher, Ricky Gervais, Richard Osman, Martin Lewis, and Daisy May and Charlie Cooper declined Celebrity Traitors due to time commitments, personal preferences, or FOMO.
