Story summary

In the penultimate episode of The Celebrity Traitors, actress Sharon Rooney was murdered and comedian Joanne McNally was banished by the traitors. The traitors involved were social media star King Kenny, TV presenter Maya Jama, and comedian James Acaster. During a roundtable discussion on Friday, both contestants had received equal votes but only McNally was officially banished, leaving Rooney to discover she was murdered afterward. This revelation created confusion among the remaining "faithful" players, who are now preparing for the finale where they will reveal the final winners of the show.
