The Celebrity Traitors stars finally booted out their first Traitor in last night’s episode – and Cat Burns played an unexpected role in the banishment.
After seven episodes, the Faithfuls figured out that chat show host Jonathon Ross is one of this series’ villains and almost unanimously called him out during the roundtable.
In a brutal twist, fellow Traitor Cat cast her vote against Jonathan, with the final Traitor, Alan Carr, also writing Jonathan’s name on his board.
While Jonathan was left stunned, fans had previously predicted that Cat and Alan would team up and betray the famed presenter.

The bold move has only garnered the singer even more adoration from BBC viewers, with many eager to know more about her love life.

Cat appears to be dating makeup artist Sarah New.
Reports about the duo’s romance have been circulating for some time, but it was the 25-year-old’s fans who originally rumbled the identity of her new beau.
Back in September, Cat shared a TikTok video which shows her trying to drag someone into the frame.
She captioned the video: “Live footage of me trying to promote this song while trying to keep my private life private lol.”
The 15-second clip was posted alongside her song ‘There’s Just Something About Her,’ which dives into being infatuated by a new partner or crush.

Fans quickly ‘worked out’ Sarah’s identity from the short clip and flooded the comments section.
One penned: “*Cough*SARAH NEW*cough*.” While a second said: “We all know it’s Sarah bff x.”
Someone else chimed in with: “You haven’t been trying very hard babe, you’re all over each other’s socials.”
Others began digging through the pair’s respective social media pages and found they have been on corresponding holidays, and even posted pictures posing in the same locations.
The duo have made appearances on each other’s social media but haven’t publicly discussed the nature of their relationship.
