The Celebrity Traitors contestants have finally done it and bagged the first Traitor of the game as Jonathan Ross was dramatically banished on Wednesday’s episode.
In one of the highlights of the series so far, Jonathan pretended to be a Faithful right until the very end, only revealing himself as a Traitor with the closing words of his exit speech.
Ross received six of the eight votes at the roundtable, including two from his fellow traitors, with the charge against him led by rugby player Joe Marler. Comedian Lucy Beaumont was “murdered” at the start of the episode in the first face-to-face killing.
Relieved, the rest of the contestants celebrated after finally bagging a Traitor but the mood soon turned serious again when Claudia Winkleman revealed that the two remaining traitors, comedian Alan Carr and singer Cat Burns, would have to conduct their next “murder” in plain sight.
However, it won’t be easy for Cat and Alan as they will have to murder a Faithful during a dinner party by raising a toast and saying: “Parting is such sweet sorrow”, followed by the victim’s name.
Will the Faithfuls suss out another Traitor, or will it be a victory for Cat and Alan in next week’s final?
The Celebrity Traitors continues on Thursday at 9pm on BBC One.

Joe starts rallying against Alan and Cat
The episode ends with Joe Marler stating he’s going to try and get close to Alan and Cat and is determined to rip the rug from under their feet.
Nick is onboard with his Alan and Cat theory but might have to work on convincing David.
Meanwhile, in the turret Alan and Cat agree to split the winnings between them if they make it that far. “Traitors for life,” says Alan

No murder tonight!
Claudia summons the cast outside and informs them that there is no murder tonight meaning that next week’s final is between Cat, Alan, Joe, David and Nick.
In a test of faith, Claudia gets them to all stand in a circle and say “I am a Faithful”.
Alan, predictably, does a terrible job

Joe Marler has sussed it
Joe Marler might be the best Faithful ever!
Immediately after the roundtable he figures out that Alan and Cat are Traitors and he’s convinced Nick that it’s them too.
This guy needs to win this show!

“I’ve had a lot of years of feeling very sad and you’ve allowed me to play the most amazing game.”
A lovely, heartfelt exit speech from Kate.

The votes are in
It’s between David and Kate!

David proposes a theory after the votes for him evaporated on Wednesday and blames Kate for this.
Sparks fly between Kate and David and not the good kind. They are definitely gunning for each other here.
Alan digs into this and appears to suggest that both Kate and David are Traitors!

Nick takes aim at Cat!
After defending Kate, Nick sets his sights on Cat and accuses her of being a Traitor.
Cat tries to defend herself but it isn’t convincing if we’re being honest. This is the first time she’s really been grilled at a roundtable.
