The cast of the Celebrity Traitors have already discovered a non-faithful in their midst – the BBC show’s photoshop department.
Maya Jama, 32, and Rob Beckett, two of the 21 stars of the upcoming series, have been left outraged after the BBC released their official headshots for the show this week.
Comedian Rob, 40, took umbrage at his portrait, which features him with a bemused smile on his face.
Sharing the snap to Instagram, Rob declared: ‘I think there’s a traitor in the photoshop department…. what the f**k has happened to my face.’
The post prompted his co-star Maya, who is perhaps more used to her glam Love Island photos, to reply with a string of laughing face emojis as she told him ‘they did us all dirty tbh’.
Rob’s wife, the writer Lou Beckett, saw the funny side, telling him: ‘Our wedding photos are about to get a glow up. I’m using AI to replace you in every photo in the house with this one.’

Rob’s close pal and fellow comedian Lloyd Griffith meanwhile decided: ‘you look like you’ve found God’.
The new series of Celebrity Traitors will begin on October 1, the BBC revealed last week.
Joining Rob and Maya and host Claudia Winkleman in the Scottish Highlands for the second series are Amol Rajan, Bella Ramsey, James Acaster, James Blunt, Jerry Hall, Joanne McNally, Joe Lycett, Julie Hesmondhalgh, King Kenny and Leigh-Anne Pinnock.
Michael Sheen, Miranda Hart, Myha’la, Professor Hannah Fry, Richard E Grant, Romesh Ranganathan, Ross Kemp, Sebastian Croft and Sharon Rooney complete the line up.
A new explosive trailer released last week showed the stars meeting each other for the first time at the iconic castle as host Claudia declared: ‘The game is on!’
A trailer hinted at the difficult tasks the group had to endure with an exploding pirate ship as the stars have to try and build up the £100,000 cash prize for a chosen charity.
The new trailer showed the players arriving to the castle in their swanky cars before heading to a church as they all take their seats for the first task.
Maya then quipped to her fellow players: ‘If this is the last time we are all friends, then good luck!’
The teaser then cut to the first tense Round Table as Claudia told them: ‘I have chosen my Traitors. The game is on!’

She added: ‘There are now killers among you. People are out there to deceive. Fame won’t save them.’
The series will begin with an extra-long opening episode and the launch night will also see a new bonus special airing.
Traitor or Faithful? Claudia Decides will be available on October 1 from 9.15pm on BBC iPlayer. Viewers will find out how Claudia chooses her Traitors in the one-off special.
The regular series episodes will air two nights a week on Thursday and Friday evenings at 8pm.
