Who will win Celebrity Traitors? Fans give their verdict ahead of Friday’s finale

Fans of The Celebrity Traitors have been sharing their thoughts on who is going to win ahead of Friday’s finale.

The show reaches its penultimate episode tonight (October 29), with the remaining contestants facing another round of accusations and potentially devastating eliminations.

The last episode ended on a cliffhanger after actress Sharon Rooney and comedian Joanne McNally received an equal number of votes at the roundtable. It left content creator King Kenny with the deciding vote.

Viewers are set to discover which of the two Faithfuls will be banished tonight, but with the final just hours away, speculation is mounting over whether the remaining Traitors can maintain their grip on the game.

Traitors Maya Jama, James Acaster and Kenny have so far managed to evade detection, despite the Faithfuls being tasked with identifying the secret saboteurs among them.

And some viewers believe the trio are now in an almost unbeatable position, with the Faithfuls seemingly placing their trust in exactly the wrong people.

Fans think the Traitors are heading for victory

Taking to X, viewers have shared their predictions for who will emerge victorious, with many arguing that the Faithfuls have repeatedly overlooked the most obvious suspects.

One viewer wrote: “The traitors are 100% going to win again this year! And they damn well deserve it cos the faithfuls aren’t even questioning them anymore.”

Another posted: “Okay the faithful do not deserve to win this year. Voting for the three traitors as the ones they trust the most! They'll never suspect them then!”

The comments reflect a growing belief that Jama, Acaster and Kenny could make it all the way to the final without their fellow contestants realising they have been deceived.

During last week's challenge, the trio were named among the contestants most trusted by their fellow players, handing them a significant advantage as the competition entered its closing stages.

The Traitors were then tasked with choosing who should receive a dagger, which grants its holder a double vote at the roundtable. They ultimately selected Kenny, giving him the power to influence a crucial banishment decision.

That advantage could prove decisive as the remaining players attempt to work out who has been lying to them all along.

If suspicions finally turn towards the right contestants, the final two episodes could still deliver a dramatic reversal of fortunes.

Another viewer appeared more concerned with the fate of one particular contestant, writing: “Screaming at my phone every time Bash gets brought up at the round table or in the tower twice a week while watching Celebrity Traitors because I love him so much and want him to win.”

With emotions running high among the audience, the pressure is now on the remaining Faithfuls to put their suspicions to good use before it is too late.

Ross Kemp reveals who he wants to win

Former contestant Ross Kemp has also revealed which side he is backing ahead of the final.

The EastEnders actor, who was murdered by the Traitors during his time on the show, became a fan favourite for his loyalty to the Faithful and his determination to uncover the truth.

Speaking to GB News reporter Isobel Feculak, Kemp was asked whether he was supporting the Traitors or the Faithful to win the competition.

“We've got the final coming up. Who are you backing? Traitors or Faithful?” she asked.

Kemp replied emphatically: “Always the Faithful! Always the Faithful.”

Who could be eliminated before the finale?

Thursday's episode will pick up from the dramatic roundtable cliffhanger, with either Rooney or McNally facing banishment after Kenny's deciding vote.
