He received six of the eight votes at the Round Table — with both , 25, and , 49, writing his name on their chalk boards.
— a Traitor with the pair since the start of the game, said he had no hard feelings — but did wish he had been a Faithful.
Speaking to The Sun following his show exit he said he hoped Cat and Alan “will stick together and they will romp off to victory”.
for a number of episodes from his co-stars, but his luck finally ran out in the third-from-last episode.
Alan had hinted at the betrayal before the Round Table began, saying: “Jonathan’s name is on everyone’s lips.”

And Cat wasted no time once the meeting began, saying: “I just wanted to be honest in that I’m a bit suspicious of you, Jonathan.”
Alan backed her up, falsely suggesting he was in cahoots with former England rugby player Joe Marler — a Faithful.
It was Joe who believed that Jonathan would have been chosen as a Traitor because he was a showbiz heavyweight “big dog”.
The comments convinced others as Jonathan was banished — revealing his status in comical fashion.
Smirking, he announced: “I am now and I have been all through the game completely faithful . . . to the Traitors!”
Jonathan later revealed he has no hard feelings over the betrayal.
He said: “They got me! But I’m kind of relieved and I’m glad that Alan went for me as well.”
He hopes the pair go on to triumph, but suspects only Cat might survive to the end.
He said: “In my dream scenario, it would be Cat and Alan. I don’t think Alan’s going to survive, but I think Cat will make it to the end.

“I think Cat will win, and she deserves to win. Out of the three of us, she had the best tactical brain.”
But he said that he had loved plotting with Alan, adding: “Alan is one of the funniest men I’ve ever met in my life, so to have him there with me already made me feel more comfortable.”
Jonathan found the duplicity hard at times — and wished had not picked him.
He said: “I thought I’d be happy to be a Traitor, but I actually found it really hard just lying to people but that is what makes it such compelling viewing.
‘Blaming the game’
“Around the second day I began to think ‘oh, I really wish I’d said I’d like to be a Faithful’.”
Jonathan acknowledged even he was surprised he made it as far as he did, saying: “I don’t mean to be rude but they were idiots!
“I’m not judging because it’s fiendish, so I am not blaming the players, I’m blaming the game.”
Jonathan said he suspected his co-stars had finally rumbled him so looked to just relish his final hours at
He said: “I began to relax oddly at that point and thought ‘OK, I am going home today, just enjoy the day’.
I’ve got as far as I could, and I’ve got further than I thought I would, so I’m quite happy.

“I could have fought back, but you know what, I thought I’m going to have a nice day.
“I’ve got as far as I could, and I’ve got further than I thought I would, so I’m quite happy’.”
