Model Jerry Hall has been banished from The Celebrity Traitors.

The 70-year-old received the most votes during Thursday night’s episode and was forced to leave the Scottish castle.

Although the supermodel avoided being killed in plain sight, with EastEnders actor Ross Kemp falling victim to the traitors “yawn” murder, she fell under suspicion after fellow players claimed she was stirring the pot and behaving a little chaotically.

As she revealed her identity, she said: “I’ve loved being with you all. I’ve had the most fun. I haven’t laughed so much in years.

“Truly its been a great pleasure.

“I’m sorry I made some mistakes but I have always been a faithful. I told you.

“I love y’all.”

The reveal was met with groans followed by a round of applause by the celebrity contestants before host Claudia Winkleman said: “Players, you just banished a legend”.

Thursday’s episode also revealed that Kemp was killed by the traitors, Maya Jama, James Acaster and new recruit King Kenny, in plain sight.

The trio had “bore someone to death” by spraying perfume from a peacock bottle and encourage a faithful to yawn to inhale the perfume.

As they tried to make Hall and Kemp yawn, the soap star broke first with Acaster sealing the deal by saying: “Sorry, am I boring you?”

The evening also saw the contestants complete a mission which involved building a shield where anyone who completed it would be protected from that night’s murder.

Meanwhile the traitors were in charge of building the prize pot by sabotaging the blindfolded faithfuls.

During the challenge, Acaster refused to participate and left it to Kenny and Jama who panicked at the very end of the challenge.

The episode ended on a cliffhanger as the treacherous trio selected their next victim between Romesh Ranganathan, Bash Croft and Miranda Hart.
