After she was shown the door, Rossy exclaimed: “How am I still here?
“I must be the luckiest Traitor in the history of the game.
“Without even needing to put in the effort, the Faithfuls did our dirty work for us!”
As the fifth Faithful to leave the show, Clare’s banishment at the round table drew a bewildered and angry response from the celebrities, who vowed to take off the gloves in a bid to finally catch the murderers.
Jonathan said: “Everyone’s coming out tomorrow with their claws out, and everyone’s going to be scratching away at each other to see if beneath the otherwise Faithful exterior lurks a black-hearted Traitor.”
Meanwhile, The Celebrity Traitors has become Britain’s most-watched TV series, with an astonishing 7.1 million viewers tuning in this week.
The spin-off show premiered last Wednesday on BBC One with a solid 6.1 million viewers, but the excitement surrounding the star-studded contest has propelled its ratings up by an additional million.
Last week’s episode of Strictly, which is also hosted by the same presenter, garnered 6.9 million viewers on Saturday night, while some episodes of the dance contest have dropped to as low as 5.6 million this season.
Considering seven days of catch-up viewing via BBC iPlayer, the first episode of The Celebrity Traitors has been viewed by over 11.7 million people in the first week alone—and this figure is likely to have surpassed 12 million now.
Among those viewers, at least 2.2 million individuals aged 16-34 have watched it.
More people tuned in to the show within that week than watched any other Traitors series over a span of 28 days.
This achievement allows the show to break its own record for the most viewed episode of the program, making The Celebrity Traitors the biggest unscripted episode in British television since 2022.
