Celebrity Traitors' Romesh Ranganathan thinks co-star will "kill" him following 'embarrassing' win

The Celebrity Traitors season 2 came to an end last night, with the Faithful narrowly clinching a win and Sebastian Croft and Romesh Ranganathan each bagging thousands of pounds for their respective charities.

Despite the win, Romesh — proving that you can take the man out of teaching but you can't take teaching out of the man — feels like he could have done better.

Describing his win as "happiness tinged with a little bit of embarrassment", Romesh said: "I feel that I've won the game despite, I would say, my key development area in this game being identifying Traitors correctly. I think that's probably the thing that I was the worst at."

"I don't hold on to my beliefs very strongly. I'm easily swayed, and I would say that I'm a mug", he added.

"I've been a mug in this game, and as I discovered that I'd won, there was both joy at winning, and a sense of embarrassment at what I'd done during the game."

In the finale, after final Traitor Kenny had been banished, Romesh couldn't shake a feeling he had about James Blunt, and elected to banish him.

He explained: "I'm really happy to have won, but you've got to think about my level of contribution to the game compared to some other people that have fallen by the wayside. James Blunt at some point in the future will kill me, and I'm saying that now.

"It's almost certain. I don't think his family are going to like me when they watch the show."

Looking back across his whole experience, Romesh said that there was one aspect of the show that he didn't think he'd enjoy but actually ended up rather enjoying.

"Missions weren't something I was looking forward to, because I lack basic hand-eye coordination", he explained.

"I was just sort of thinking, although we're not competing with each other except for shields, potentially we're all working towards the same thing. I could out myself as an incompetent here in the Missions, and when you're trying to decide who you might vote off, a Faithful that has not only not contributed to a Mission but has hindered it is somebody you might get rid of.

"So I was slightly worried about that, but I would say I was pleasantly surprised by all the Missions. They were much better than I thought. I could do without ever seeing Ross Kemp foaming at the mouth again."
