French & Saunders to star in Traitors sketch for Comic Relief
Claudia Winkleman, Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders and Mary Berry have filmed a Comic Relief sketch themed around The Traitors.
The sketch will be screened on BBC One on Friday 17th March as part of Red Nose Day.
The skit sees Claudia Winkleman (played by Dawn French) assemble the celebrity 'Faithful' and 'Traitors' for a discussion full of twists and turns.
Whilst the publicity photos reveals Saunders, Berry and Winkleman herself will also appear, the BBC teases: "Viewers will need to tune in to find out which other famous faces will be under the cloaks and who will be revealed as the ultimate Traitor."
The real Claudia Winkleman comments: "I can't wait for people to see this sketch. I'm so grateful to Comic Relief for putting the whole thing together. I feel like I'm in an alternate universe, and I like it."
Jennifer Saunders jokes: "Worst day of my life, I don't know why I agree to these things. The only reason why I agreed to this one was to meet Mary Berry."
Dawn French says: "This was the second worst day of my life. The absolute worst one was meeting Jennifer Saunders. The only reason I agreed to this one was to show Claudia Winkleman the horror that awaits her in the mirror in 30 years' time..."
Comic Relief founder Richard Curtis notes: "I'm unbelievably excited about this sketch. The Traitors is the most brilliant reality show of all time, and I hope that we can mercilessly tear it apart. There's a very impressive group of actors who gathered together to destroy the reputation of Claudia Winkleman and the BBC in aid of Comic Relief."
