If you’re abroad and hoping to watch The Celebrity Traitors on BBC iPlayer, you’ve probably already discovered that the BBC doesn’t make it easy.
Try to stream from outside the UK and you’ll see:
“BBC iPlayer only works in the UK.”
It’s frustrating — especially when the BBC’s hit reality show returns with a celebrity cast, the stunning Ardross Castle setting, and Claudia Winkleman once again guiding the mind games, alliances and betrayals that made The Traitors such a sensation.
Fortunately, there’s a simple, reliable and completely legal way to watch from anywhere in the world: a VPN router with a UK residential IP.
The Celebrity Traitors is the BBC’s star-studded spin-off of the award-winning reality hit.
This time, 19 well-known faces are taking part, all competing for charity — but only a few can make it to the end without being “banished” or “murdered” by the Traitors hiding among them.
The 2025 celebrity line-up features:
Alan Carr, Jonathan Ross, Stephen Fry, Tom Daley, Charlotte Church, Clare Balding, Paloma Faith, Celia Imrie, Kate Garraway, Nick Mohammed, Joe Wilkinson, Joe Marler, Mark Bonnar, Lucy Beaumont, David Olusoga, Tameka Empson, Ruth Codd, Niko Omilana, and Cat Burns.
The series premiered on 8 October 2025 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, with new episodes every Wednesday and Thursday.
If you’re outside the UK, you’ll need a bit of help to tune in.
BBC iPlayer checks your IP address to confirm that you’re in the UK.
If you’re abroad, it instantly blocks access — even if you’re a UK resident with a TV licence.
VPN apps might look like a quick solution, but most use commercial IP addresses that BBC iPlayer can easily detect and block.
Even when they work briefly, the streams are unreliable and don’t support Smart TVs or streaming devices properly.
Our pre-configured VPN routers connect through genuine UK residential broadband IP addresses — the same type used by real homes in Britain.
To BBC iPlayer, ITVX and other UK streaming services, your connection looks completely authentic.
No apps, no setup, no repeated log-ins — just plug it in and stream as if you were sitting in your living room in the UK.
Once connected, every device in your home network uses the UK IP. That means you can watch The Celebrity Traitors on:
Everything works exactly as it does at home.
Our routers come with 1, 3, 6 or 12-month subscription terms.
Each term runs as a continuous block, but you can let it lapse when you’re not travelling and renew it later — no penalties, no reactivation fees.
Perfect for holiday homes, seasonal travel or expat life abroad.
The Celebrity Traitors is one of the BBC’s biggest events of 2025 — and it’s too good to miss.
With a VPN router using a UK residential IP, you can stream every twist, betrayal and reveal on BBC iPlayer, wherever you are in the world.
