The Traitors series 4 is in full swing, but with the amount of celebrity lookalikes currently holed up in Ardross Castle, viewers have been quick to note Matthew has a resemblance to Daniel Radcliffe as he wanders the historic corridors.
Viewers have also spotted the likes of Hugh Bonneville and even a character from the animated movie Chicken Run walking the hallowed hallways.
So join us, as we take a tongue-in-cheek look at this year’s Traitors cast and their celebrity doppelgangers…
The Traitors lookalikes – James looks ‘so much’ like David Tennant
22 new contestants entered Ardross Castle on New Year’s Day, hoping to win up to £120,000. However, some viewers reckon they’ve seen some of the contestants before. But surely, they can’t have, can they?
One contestant who caught the eye early on was James. James, a 38-year-old gardener from Weymouth, confused some viewers for none other than Doctor Who legend David Tennant.
With his floppy hair and sideburns, James is almost a double for Tennant during his days on the hit sci-fi show.
“That James looks like David Tennant,” one fan tweeted.
“Anyone else thinks he looks a bit like David Tennant?” another asked. “James looks so like David Tennant,” a third wrote.
Sam looks like Jonathan Bailey and Ed Gamble’s ‘love child’
Meanwhile, fans spotted a resemblance between Sam and Uncloaked host Ed Gamble.
“This is literally Ed Gamble??” one fan tweeted, sharing a picture of Sam smirking in a promotional photo.
“‘I’m a fantastic liar,’ well clearly, because your name isn’t even Sam! It’s Ed Gamble,” another joked. “Can’t wait for Sam and Ed Gamble to be in the same room together,” they added.
Another viewer revealed they thought that Sam resembled a mixture of Ed and Wicked and Bridgerton actor Jonathan Bailey.
“Can’t believe they managed to get Jonathan Bailey on #TheTraitors,” the viewer joked.
“Am I the only person that thinks Sam on #TheTraitors looks like the lovechild of Ed Gamble Jonathan Bailey?” another asked.
Amanda looks like Line of Duty star
Meanwhile, some fans believe retired police detective Amanda looks like a certain actor from a hit BBC show.
Some have even speculated that Amanda is actually a relative of Line of Duty star Adrian Dunbar.
“I‘m sure Amanda the retired police detective in this year’s #TheTraitorsUK is in fact the sister of Ted (Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the wee donkey!) Hastings from #LineOfDuty,” one viewer quipped.
“There’s only one thing that matters and that’s catching bent Traitors,” another said, paraphrasing a famous quote from the hit show.
“Keeping Hastings busy in the Traitors castle until Line of Duty starts filming again,” a third wrote.

“Are we sure Amanda hasn’t been in Line of Duty or Happy Valley?!” another asked.
“She literally feels like a corrupt police officer from Line of Duty #TheTraitors where is AC-12,” a fifth added.
Another also suggested that they’ve never seen Amanda and Geri Halliwell’s husband Christian Horner together…
Roxy aka Ginger from Chicken Run
Another tweet doing the rounds likens The Traitors’ Roxy to Ginger from the film Chicken Run!
She’s the film’s main protagonist, running the show in her green bobble hat – something that would doubtless compliment Roxy’s main character energy.
“Roxy is serving Ginger vibes!” said one, hashtagging Chicken Run and The Traitors. “Is Roxy in #traitors one of the chickens in Chicken Run?” a second asked.
Traitors contestant Matthew compared to several familiar faces
According to viewers, Matthew bears more than a passing resemblance to a few well-known faces.
One user on X was convinced he looks like Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, asking: “Does anyone else think Matthew looks like Daniel Radcliffe?”
“Matthew on The Traitors looks like Harry Potter,” another said.
Another viewer had a different comparison altogether, writing: “Matthew looks like a bigger Max Balegde,” referencing the popular influencer.

Known for his love of jumpers, Matthew has clearly seen the funny side. He even shared a comparison photo on Instagram after someone pointed out that his knitted jumper and shirt combo looked remarkably similar to Father Dougal from the sitcom Father Ted.
Rachel also likened to cartoon charcters
Matthew isn’t the only one being compared to famous faces. Traitor Rachel has also found herself at the centre of lookalike chatter – and this time it’s animated characters doing the rounds.
“I can’t unsee this. Rachel looks like Lucy Wilde,” one person commented, comparing her to the Despicable Me character.

Another viewer had a different cartoon in mind, suggesting Rachel looks like Nanny Plum from Ben & Holly’s Little Kingdom.
Traitors star Hugo and Hugh Bonneville
Although his time on The Traitors is now just a long-distant memory, we’ll never forget Traitor Hugo’s likeness to Downton Abbey legend Hugh Bonneville!
“You can’t tell me THIS isn’t Hugo,” one viewer agreed, sharing a picture of the actor. “Hugo/Hugh Bonneville let himself down with the breakfast obituary, and by revealing his occupation,” another declared.
