The Thursday Murder Club author said he was asked to join the BBC show but refused, explaining he would only take part if he was guaranteed to be a Traitor, reports the Manchester Evening News.
I was, everyone who’s been on Celebrity Traitors won’t tell you anything. Normally people will say if they’ve been on Celebrity Catchphrase, they go, ‘I’d watch that I think I did quite well’, Celebrity Traitors, nobody is saying a single word. I’ve been working with Celia Imrie, and she won’t say anything about what happened, none of them will say. I love Celebrity Traitors, but I said I would only do it if I could be a Traitor. Only because I couldn’t bear if I was a Faithful – that thing where you go back to your room at night and you’re just lying there. And you know that there’s three people up in that tower filming, having a load of fun wearing cloaks and filming something. I’d be lying there just going, ‘Well, I mean, I could be murdered any second’, I wouldn’t have that control, and obviously they can’t say, ‘Yes, you can be a Traitor’, so yeah, I’m just going to watch.
Speaking on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, he was asked if he had been invited and replied
Richard was later told he could never take part because viewers would instantly guess he was a Traitor, which made him joke: “Am I double bluffing?” The celebrity edition will feature 19 famous names, including Thursday Murder Club star Celia Imrie, ex-Olympic diver Tom Daley, and actor Sir Stephen Fry.
