Celebrity traitors have had a major success as the loyalists caught their first traitor in Wednesday night’s episode.
TV presenter Jonathan Ross has been deported after a heated round table discussion.
His fellow contestants looked horrified as he teased them as he stood up to leave Celebrity Traitors.
But when he finally revealed that he was a traitor they rejoiced.
The 64-year-old said: “I don’t know what everyone is doing wrong? I can’t believe you did it again. I can’t believe I’m standing here for no good reason.”
“So I don’t want to be rude, but you’re an idiot.
“But I’m not judging because it’s fiendish. So I’m not blaming the players. I’m blaming the game.
“I am now, and have been completely loyal to the Traitors throughout the game.”
Claudia Winkleman congratulated the players but revealed that tonight’s episode was the last where the missing players would announce whether they were loyalists or traitors before leaving the show.
Ross received six of the eight votes in the round table meeting, including two votes from his fellow traitors, led by former rugby player Joe Marler, who made allegations against him.
Later, it was revealed that the two remaining traitors, comedian Alan Carr and singer Cat Burns, were to apparently commit their next “murder”.
A traitor must toast the player they wish to assassinate and say: “What sweet sorrow it is to part”, followed by writing the name of the victim.
Comedian Lucy Beaumont was “murdered” in the first head-to-head murder at the start of Wednesday’s episode of the BBC One reality game show.
Looking at the traitors, Beaumont, 42, said: “Oh my God. My God. Oh, I hope you feel bad about yourself.

Beaumont said after the murder: “I’ve let my emotions completely take over things and I don’t want to believe that because I’ve made a friendship with someone who isn’t capable of doing that.
“There was some element of real shock and feeling quite betrayed, but also a relief.”
Carr, 49, said: “To see the murder face-to-face was very rough and very raw.
“I feel like the Grim Reaper.”
The players were delighted at the start of the show when they collected the entire £10,000 to win in the challenge.
The contestants paired up, with one half of each pair crossing a rickety bridge over a river and the other cheering them on.
He earned £500 for each post passed over the bridge.
Around 19 players have been reduced to seven so far through assassinations and deportations.
Since the UK version began in 2022, millions of fans have watched The Traitors on the BBC and it has received BAFTA TV awards for Best Reality and Manufactured Factual Program and Best Entertainment Performance for host Winkleman.
Celebrity Traitors continues on Thursday nights at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
