"I’m shook": Fans react to Traitor outing in bombshell Celebrity Traitors moment

The Celebrity Traitors final is almost upon us, but the semi-final wasn't short of some bombshell moments as a Traitor outed themselves at the Round Table.

Last week's episode ended on quite the cliffhanger as the players were made to vote someone out for the second time, with Joanne McNally and Sharon Rooney receiving the same number of votes.

Only King Kenny's vote would seal their fates, and he had a special dagger that would double his vote. And tonight's episode (29 October) kicked off with Joanne's elimination.

However, it wasn't long before Sharon was bumped off, too. But tensions significantly rose at the Round Table, with the celebs pointing several fingers at potential Traitors.

After a bunch of back-and-forth, comedian James Acaster surprised everyone by admitting outright that he was a Traitor, though he declared himself a reluctant one.

And James' outing didn't just shock his fellow contestants, but also viewers at home, as one person said on X: "I'm actually flabbergasted what the hell."

"OMG JAMES ACTUALLY ADMITTED TO BEING A TRAITOR WHAT THE HELL," another commented, while a third wrote: "I’m shook. I don’t know how to feel about that. Fair play to James A, he did say he didn’t wanna be one, bless him!"

Referencing Richard E. Grant's admission earlier in the show, a fourth said: "First Richard E Grant and now James. Terrible play from these traitors. Alan Carr would be ashamed."

This revelation then led to the other celebs obviously voting James out, but in his final send-off chat, he said that he was "so proud of you guys for catching me the way that you did".

"And I wanted it to be that I was - I was found logically and in a way that was, yeah, you followed clues and and got me. I'm glad that I got to play this game on my own terms," the comedian continued.

But while James' elimination brought some relief, the other celebs still had their reservations, particularly Michael Sheen.

And with another murder scheduled to take place, Michael seems like the obvious choice for Maya and Kenny to take out, but whatever happens, we're certainly in for a interesting finale.

The Celebrity Traitors airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
