I think he&#8217;s a real asset to them and I hope suspicions about him disappear very quickly. That I can&#8217;t see happening though.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Having that roundtable decided by the Chest of Chance was very dramatic and it was very emotional.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I got so caught up in it all, but I hope it was a good TV moment. Even though I was sad to go, I thought, well, they&#8217;ve never done that before!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The 56 year old star later discovered the identities of Traitors Jonathan Ross, Alan Carr and Cat Burns on spin-off programme Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked and was unable to conceal his astonishment and anger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He declared: &#8220;&#8216;Jonathan f***ing Ross! Well played he is really good at it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Man, Cat, she is good. I thought she was 100% faithful. This is exhausting!&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Oh, it&#8217;s Alan. Well played though. You know what, on our way out from the table, I was beside him and I glance at him and he was like [head down] and I never mentioned that again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sir Stephen Fry also departed the game in Thursday&#8217;s episode, whilst viewers will need to wait until next week to discover whether the Traitors have chosen to eliminate Lucy Beaumont, Kate Garraway or Nick Mohammed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source uk.style.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BBC&#8217;s Celebrity Traitors has caused quite the stir, with many firsts taking place on the show.
