COMEDIAN Joe Wilkinson had a showdown with Celebrity Traitors bosses after refusing to let them check his bags for drugs.
The After Life star, 50, threw a strop over crew checks before filming in May for the BBC1 show.
Celebrities stayed in the £80-a-night Courtyard by Marriott hotel, an hour from the Ardross Castle in the Highlands.
On podcast Chatabix, Joe said: “This man said, ‘I’m going to go through your bag’, I was like, ‘I don’t think you are pal’.
“All the producers came.
“I was like, ‘You’re going to have to trust me’, but they were like, ‘Well you have signed up to this you p****’ and I was like, ‘OK carry on’.
“They were polite and it was fine in the end.”
Co-star Mark Bonnar, 56, said: “It got weird as soon as we arrived.
“There’s six people in your room as soon as you’ve checked in and they’re going through every item of your luggage.
“Just to check you haven’t got any secret recording equipment or illegal drugs.
“We’re celebrities – we wouldn’t do drugs!”
The series launched to huge success last week with over 6.5 million viewers tuning in to watch Sir Stephen Fry, Celia Imrie, Clare Balding and Kate Garraway take part in the popular game show.
