Claudia Winkleman has ruled out ever taking part in the celebrity edition of The Traitors, because of this one reason.
The presenter returns to host the BBC show on Thursday as a new cast of famous faces arrives at the Scottish castle in a bid to outwit and outlast each other.
Among the stars taking part are Michael Sheen, Richard E Grant, Jerry Hall, Maya Jama, Rob Beckett, Romesh Ranganathan, James Acaster, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, James Blunt, and Bella Ramsey.
Why Claudia Winkleman would never go on the Celebrity Traitors
Ms Winkleman has made it clear she has no interest in joining them as a contestant because she is "too thick".
She said: "I’m too thick. I mustn’t play it in public. I must not, thank you so much.
"I’m just being honest. I could have come up with a schmoozier (answer) but no.
"It’s a privilege to play that game and to be at the round table, but I think I would just be too awful at it."
The show challenges celebrities, mostly known as Faithfuls, to identify the hidden Traitors among them, who secretly eliminate players each night.
The first celebrity edition was won by Traitor Alan Carr and proved a ratings hit, earning multiple awards.
Sarah Fay, executive producer, said she was "chuffed" by its success and hopes the second series will be just as popular.
She said: "We never take for granted that the audience is always going to come to it.

"So (the first series) felt a little bit like Monopoly money, it just didn’t seem real, but obviously we’re so, so chuffed.
"But going into the series, we wanted to make sure it felt it wasn’t comparable and we could bring a new freshness to it.
