King Kenny selects Rethink Mental Illness as chosen charity on BBC Celebrity Traitors

02/11/2026

Content Creator King Kenny competed in this year’s celebrity edition of BBC One's smash hit The Traitors. Starting out as a faithful before his recruitment as a traitor, Kenny was popular in the castle, helping him to avoid suspicion and making him a firm favourite of viewers at home. He very nearly stole the top prize from under the noses of the faithfuls, as he sailed into the finale with his friendly persona, a remarkable poker face, and traitorous strategising. 

After the final was broadcast, it was revealed that Kenny selected Rethink Mental Illness as his chosen charity, which would have received more than £80,000 in prize money if he had won.

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank Kenny for supporting the work of Rethink Mental Illness in delivering trusted services across the country and campaigning for change, so that people experiencing severe mental illness have longer, safer, better lives.
