Traitors’ celebrities start to suspect Jonathan Ross after first banishment

Another Faithful looks doomed for banishment in Celebrity Traitors, in what’s set to be an eventful fourth episode of the BBC reality series.

Traitors Jonathan Ross, Alan Carr and Cat Burns suggested at the end of last night’s (15 October) episode that three celebrity contestants could be in the firing line for a “murder”.

Ruth Codd, whose attempt to convince the group to banish Jonathan during Wednesday’s round table ultimately proved unsuccessful, is one of the proposed victims, along with Charlotte Church and David Olusoga.

Wednesday’s third instalment as crammed with drama from its opening moments. Early in the episode, we found out which star had the dubious honour of being the first to be banished from the game, as YouTube prankster Niko Omilana was voted out by his fellow celebrities in the opening moments.

Soon after, Traitors Jonathan, Alan and Cat congregated in the turret to decide which star was next on their hit list. Olympian Tom Daley was the unlucky victim, and his “murder” sent shockwaves through the dining room as the remaining celebrities congregated for breakfast.

After a successful run in the latest challenge, the stars headed to the next round table, with Ruth leading the charge against Jonathan, and managing to get a handful of others on side too, including Joe Marler, whose “big dog theory” seems to have won over the Faithfuls.

Alan and Celia Imrie also came under fire, but eventually, it was Tameka Empson who picked up the most votes, with Kate Garraway making the final decision.

The Traitorscontinues on Thursday night at 9pm on BBC One.

With each celebrity chained up inside a dark cabin awaiting instructions on Wednesday’s show (15 October), Claudia said: “Welcome to the worst team-building away day experience in history” before Imrie passed wind and the group broke into laughter. “I just farted, Claudia.

Jonathan Ross found Traitors experiece ‘uncomfortable’

After episode three, it’s a little bit easier to see why Jonathan Ross might have found the Traitors experience tricky. After all, he spent most of that instalment trying to brush off suspicion by lying to his fellow contestants. Admittedly, he did a pretty solid job, but it can’t have been easy.

Speaking on his podcast, he said that he struggled with “being on the defence” all the time. Then, in a Twitter/X post, he admitted that he “did not enjoy the duplicity as the game progressed”, and that the show was “a tougher psychological challenge than I expected”.
