Celebrity Traitors viewers "fuming" as fan favourite is murdered

Warning: spoilers follow for episode four of The Celebrity Traitors.

The Celebrity Traitors fans are "gutted" after a fan favourite contestant was revealed to have been murdered. James Acaster, Maya Jama and Professor Hannah Fry's latest decision sent shockwaves around the breakfast table - and social media.

Bella Ramsey, star of Game of Thrones and The Last of Us, was eliminated over other shortlisted stars James Blunt and Sebastian 'Bash' Croft.

Posting on X, one fan wrote: "Am gutted for Bella. The Traitors know [they] would have found them out."

"I am fuming Bella was so good," said someone else; while a third posted: "just likened bella not coming back to breakfast like taylor swift not appearing at the eras tour its that serious to me."

"The nation is currently in mourning over Bella," another viewer opined.

In the turret, Maya was seen reasoning that Bella's elimination would split up their close-knit group of pals. "That's our biggest threat. Get them out of the way, that group disperses," she said.

"People are doubting their instincts... if Bella's proven to be a Faithful they're going to be even more spun out," James Acaster added.

Receiving their fate, Bella said: "I think this is a clever move by the Traitors. I was gonna reset and start from the beginning because I got it so wrong with Myha'la, so I think they were right to murder me because I would have maybe figured it out.

"I feel very attached to the Faithful now. Goodnight, this is the end."

With Richard E Grant's capture already feeling like a distant memory, can the Faithful catch another Traitor before more of them are knocked out?

Celebrity Traitors will air weekly on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
