Presenter Claudia Winkleman received a request from an unlikely wannabe contestant for season two of her new BBC game show, The Traitors.
Former Friends star Courteney Cox appeared in a casting call for the second series of the show, following the success of the debut series, which saw them awarded a BAFTA nomination.
In the clip, Claudia calls for fans to apply while stood next to a cloaked figure who slowly revealed themselves to be the sitcom star and Scream queen.

She added: “You cannot apply if you’re a celebrity or as famous as this one,”
“Now… off you go,” Claudia told the Hollywood star.
Some fans were gutted to learn that there wouldn’t be a celebrity version of the game show, which see the contestants attempt to find out who the traitors are amongst them in the hopes of winning a cash prize of up to £120,000.

One fan wrote: “I love that they know how much we don’t want celebs involved ever, good move #TheTraitors.”
While a second added: “Never do a celebrity #TheTraitors . The real people on this show are brilliant. I love each and every one of them for being who they are. Fantastic show.”
A third put: “I love #TheTraitors but I hope they never bring in any celebrities/do a celebrity version. The public are always the most entertaining when it comes to real drama.”

Meanwhile other viewers really wanted to see celebrities take on the challenge, and listed some A-Listers that they’d like to see on the show.
“There needs to be a celebrity special of #TheTraitors. Gemma Collins, James Acaster, AJ Odudu, Gordon Ramsey etc,” one tweeted.
A second wrote: “They need to do a celebrity #TheTraitors – these lot are needlessly hysterical, so imagine the levels of drama with egos in the room.”
