Following the success of last year's debut Celebrity Traitors, The Chase star Anne Hegerty has exclusively revealed her desire to sign up for the competition.
The Chase's Governess, 67, is no stranger to reality TV, having taken part previously in ITV's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!
She proved a popular contestant and finished in seventh place in the 2018 series.
Speaking exclusively to GB News at this week's TV Choice Awards, The Governess delved into her enthusiasm for The Traitors and why she wouldn't say no to a stint on the celebrity edition.
Anne Hegerty spoke to GB News at the TV Choice Awards | GETTYShe revealed she would be eager to participate in the celebrity series, stating: "I would absolutely love to be a Celebrity Traitor, I'd definitely say yes!"
Following the success of the main series, a celebrity version debuted on BBC One last year and was such a success that a second run was greenlit soon after.
Last year's show saw comedian-turned-villainous Traitor Alan Carr being crowned winner after he managed to deceive his co-stars into thinking he was a Faithful.
Ms Hegerty is likely filling up an already-busy schedule though, with another spin-off show for The Chase having been confirmed.

The new series will have a travel theme, with The Chase Around the World well-suited to fans of Race Across the World and, of course, the quiz show.
The spin-off will debut later this year and include the same faces, with Bradley Walsh still presenting.
The iteration will include six pairs of contenders attempting to track down all six Chasers in undisclosed locations around the world.

| GETTYSpeaking further to GB News, Ms Hegerty paid a sweet tribute to Mr Walsh as she commended him for being a major part of the show's success.
Delving into the secrets of the show's appeal, she explained: "It's a great format.
"You know, everyone can understand it. You can come in from work, switch it on, you can immediately see how far into the show you are, sort of roughly what's already happened.
"And then the other thing, I mean, our absolute secret weapon is absolutely Bradley; it would not be the same without him.

Mr Walsh is another The Chase star who seems to be in high demand lately, with the presenter featuring in the rumour mill as a potential replacement for Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman as the next Strictly Come Dancing host.
Speculation escalated in November after he was spotted at the BBC programme's Elstree Studios set.
The visit, during which Mr Walsh met various production team members, has been interpreted by industry observers as a significant development in the search for new hosts to lead the show from this year's series.
