If you walk around a castle late at night demanding to be recruited as a traitor, it may just come back to haunt you. It’s the episode that kick starts the whole series to the next level and Hannah & Benedict unpack the tensest round table to date, which sees not only a new traitor deceiving their former faithful friends, but also the beginnings of a murder in plain sight. King Kenny is bringing the tactful masterclass Maya has been hoping for since the start, Ross is continuing to be intense (with gentleness) and Joanne McNally may be the worst faithful of all time. It’s all going on and we’re not yawning, you’re yawning! This episode contains spoilers for Celebrity Traitors episode six. Send your thoughts and predictions to [email protected].
