## Liam Gallagher
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?
## Key takeaway

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.
