Singer James Blunt is confirmed as a participant in the second season of 'The Celebrity Traitors,' filmed at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands. The series, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, features celebrities engaging in a game of deception for a chance to win up to £100,000 for charity.

Blunt and Wellesley, who married in September 2014, have two sons and maintain a private family life, though singer Ed Sheeran is the godfather to one of their children. Blunt discussed how fatherhood has reshaped his priorities, emphasizing the importance of being present for his children despite demanding career schedules. He also co-owns a gastropub in Chelsea with his wife.
