We were told the Celebrity Traitors semi-final would feature “a sensational turn of events” and Thursday (29 October) night’s episode certainly delivered.

While it seemed Richard E Grant’s slip-up would surely go down as the most obvious reveal in Traitors history, James Acaster eclipsed his co-star by confessing his murderous ways at the roundtable.

The comedian, who never wanted to be a Traitor, finally found his name being mentioned. And rather than crafting an elaborate defence, Acaster decided to simply come clean and tell his fellow players to vote him out.
