Spoiler warning: This article reveals details from the fourth episode of The Celebrity Traitors, series two. While other people are out enjoying their lives, they have to kill it, night after night. Even on the weekend, there is no rest for the wicked.
Friday's episode saw the the Traitors at it again, murdering Last of Us actor Bella Ramsey, before the faithfuls did their dirty work for them by killing another of their own, Julie Hesmondhalgh. The previous episode - watched on Thursday by 10 million people - saw another faithful, unlucky Industry star Myha'la, follow self-sabotaging traitor Richard E Grant out of the castle. And so viewers went into Friday's show knowing that traitors Maya Jama, James Acaster and their newest recruit, Prof Hannah Fry, had been debating murdering one of three Bs: Bella (Ramsey), (James) Blunt and Bash (Sebastian Croft).
When Ramsey failed to arrive for breakfast it soon became apparent what wickedness had taken place overnight. Emotions run high at the round table as Celebrity Traitors banish two players Celebrity Traitors cast: Who are this year's 'big dogs' and dark horses Where is the Traitors castle, and can you visit it? "That's our biggest threat," explained Jama, in a flashback from the previous night's scenes in the traitors turret.
"Get them out the way, that group disperses." Acaster agreed: "People are doubting their instincts after that roundtable. If Bella's proven to be a faithful, they're going to be even more spun out." Jama continued: "Chaos, regardless. chaos, regardless. Bella, you're a genius, but you gotta go." On receiving the news, Ramsey was shocked but not surprised.
"I think this is a clever move by the traitors," they responded in the diary room. "I was going to re-set and start from the beginning because I got it so wrong with Myha'la. "So I think that they were right to murder me because I think I would have maybe figured it out." Back at breakfast, Hesmondhalgh's apparently earnest but over-the-top reaction to Ramsey's removal immediately raised suspicions.
The former Coronation Street star had been voted as the most trustworthy by her peers in episode one and given a shield, but that counted for little by episode four. The cleverest among the group, on paper at least, Fry found the heat being turned up on her as the day rolled on. "I did not choose the traitor life, the traitor life chose me," said the latest recruit to the dark side.
