The finale will reveal which celebrity among the remaining seven contestants—Michael Sheen, Romesh Ranganathan, Maya Jama, King Kenny, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, James Blunt, and Sebastian Croft—is actually a Traitor trying to deceive the Faithfuls.

Story summary

James Acaster, a comedian on Celebrity Traitors, was unexpectedly banished during Thursday's episode of the BBC reality show after admitting he was a Traitor. The revelation came as fellow contestants voted to decide who would be eliminated, with Acaster being the top vote-getter. During discussions about a previous incident involving Ross Kemp’s “plain sight murder,” Acaster admitted that he became a Traitor involuntarily despite wanting to support his team, the Faithfuls. This bombshell led to his banishment and sparked criticism against the show's producers for handling a contestant with autism insensitively.
