The Celebrity Traitors’ five finalists have been revealed in last night's gripping episode - and there are still two treacherous Traitors among the group. Tonight’s episode saw the six remaining contestants banish GMB star Kate Garraway, who ultimately revealed that she was in fact a Faithful.
Giving her exit speech, Kate told them: “I’ve had a lot of years of being serious and very sad and you have all allowed me to play the most amazing game.
“But also you have allowed me to play and be silly and have fun. Every single one of you, I am going to take away an idea and a new kind of life. I have and always have been totally myself. A Faithful.”
Earlier in the episode, actor Celia Imrie was murdered in plain sight by Alan - resulting in outrage from fans.

Winner 'unveiled' as star reveals cunning game plan
Fans believe they've unveiled the winner of the series after one star revealed their cunning game plan on Thursday.
During a secret conversation with David in the corridor, Joe whispered: "This will sound really suspicious and I know you being the intelligent man that you are... I'm convinced that it's Alan and Cat.
"I'm playing a very dangerous game of remaining very close to them because I'm certain that I'm a Faithful and I'm certain that Nick's a Faithful. You're a Faithful. Just watch them."
Joe later said: "My plan involves getting really close to Alan and Cat, so they keep me in the game. And then I can try and pull the rug from under their feet last minute. Sorry Traitors, I'm coming for you."
BBC audiences rushed to social media to voice their prediction that Joe will triumph in the series after working out the Traitors' real identities. But will Joe's strategy succeed? Only time will tell.

Kate Garraway speaks out after being axed
Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway has broken her silence after being axed from The Celebrity Traitors.
She said: “Personally, I just felt genuinely lucky to be involved. Because, you know, it’s the first one. There’s been so much chat about it, and I never thought that I’d be included, so I was just like a wide-eyed kid in a candy shop for at least three days.
“It was more fun than I expected. It was more involving than I expected. It kind of gets in your head, and before you know it, you’re going through everything and over analysing. Everything was bigger and better than I expected," reports The Sun.
Celia Imrie and Kate Garraway praise clever Celebrity Traitors for bringing 'fun' to families
Celia Imrie opened up about how important she thought The Celebrity Traitors, and the Traitors franchise, is. Celia said she felt the show was exceedingly "clever" in how it managed to inject fun into people's lives.
Kate added that she was surprised and delighted with how "intergenerational" the show is and how it can bring families together.
Cat Burns is an 'off the scale' Traitor
On Uncloaked, Kate Garraway has revealed who she thinks the best Traitor was - and it's Cat Burns! According to Kate, Cat was "off the scale" and played a brilliant game because her reactions always seemed geniune, whilst Jonathan and Alan were less authentic in their reactions.
Celia and former winner Jake added that they also thought Cat was brilliant, because unlike Alan, she wasn't over-analysisng everything.
Would Celia Imrie make a good Traitor?
Celia is convinced she would make a good Traitor. When asked by Ed Gamble if she would want to be one if she did the show again, she said "Yes, I'd be a good Traitor," and revealed she was actually disappointed not to be chosen.
Kate Garraway was convinced she'd be murdered first
After being banished, Kate revealed that she was convinced she would be murdered the first night. But what the show taught her was that she doesn't know how she comes across.
"I thought everyone would think I'm an obvious Faithful," she said. "But actually they all thought I was Traitor!"
When asked who she thought the Traitors were, she jokingly responded: "What about my time on the show makes you think I have an answer?" Eventually she guessed Joe Marler and Alan Carr.
She was shocked to see Cat's name, but wasn't as angry as Celia was to leave and actually thanked the Traitors for keeping her in so long!
Celia angrily slams Cat Burns and Alan Carr after being murdered on Celebrity Traitors
Celia was not happy to be murdered on The Celebrity Traitors and even less happy when she learned pals Cat and Alan were the ones who bumped her off.
"I hate them both!" she exclaimed. She was especially angry with Cat, who she had coached through the last mission, in which Cat had to balance on an incomplete bridge. Celia said she wouldn't do it again:"I wouldn't help her again. I'd let her fall!"
Celia Imrie reveals what her son thought about Celebrity Traitors gig
Celia Imrie has revealed that her son Angus Imrie guessed she was doing The Traitors. And his reaction was incredibly surprising.
"He said, 'Oh God, oh Mum, no!' meaning 'Oh that's so embarassing'," Celia shared on Uncloaked. Her son is also famous in his own right, having been in shows like Fleabag and films like Emma. Maybe he'll be on the next series?
Traitors for life!
Alan and Cat have vowed to back each other by pinky promising "Traitors for life!"
But, Cat also said "If it comes down to the two of us, we'll split it." Key word: "If". What is Cat planning? Is that just her acknowledging the others might vote them out, or does she have something up her sleeve?
Alan’s ‘red flag’ gives him away
Claudia asked the remaining celebs to tell each other , “I am a Faithful” Alan started to laugh and couldn't do it with a straight face.
This is all the confirmation brainy Joe Marler needed. He said: “That is just another confirmation of what I'm thinking already about Alan. He can't even look us in the eyes and say ‘I'm a faithful’. If that's not a red flag, I don't know what is.”
No murder tonight!
Much to Alan’s dismay, there will be no murder tonight. Claudia revealed that all five of the remaining celebs will be heading into the final.
“I am gutted there is no murder tonight, it is like my hot chocolate or hot toddy,” Alan said.
Joe rumbles Cat and Alan
Finally! One of the Faithfuls has guessed who the Traitors are. Joe is proving to be one of the biggest brains in the series as he was one of the people pushing Jonathan Ross and has now guessed both the other Traitors, Cat and Alan.
“I think Cat and Alan are Traitors, I think it might be both of them.”
Celebrity Traitors’ final five revealed after tense roundtable
Just five stars remain in the BBC show, with the Celebrity Traitors finalists confirmed in tonight’s penultimate episode.
With Kate Garraway being banished by the group, just five contestants are left: Alan Carr and Cat Burns - who are Traitors - and remaining faithfuls Joe Marler, Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga.
Kate has been banished!
After catching a Traitor last episode, the Faithfuls have fumbled again. They’ve sent home one of their own, Kate Garraway, leaving two Traitors in the finale!
When her name got mentioned, Kate encouraged those with doubts to speak up. Cat responded that the self-proclaimed “ham” lacks ideas. Meanwhile Joe dubbed her a “ditzy damsel”.
Kate was ultimately voted out with only three people writing her name. She said: “I’ve had a lot of years of being serious and very sad and you have all allowed me to play the most amazing game.
But also you have allowed me to play and be silly and have fun. Every single one of you, I am going to take away an idea and a new kind of life.
“I have and always have been totally myself. A Faithful.”
Claudia's surprising admission about tonight's Traitors episode
We all know Claudia loves hosting the Traitors and gets very invested in making sure the Faithfuls do well, but in tonight's episode, she has made a surprising admission, revealing just how much she loves the show.
When the prize pot rose to over £67k, she exclaimed: "That was better than my wedding day!"
Fans took to social media to share how much they loved how invested she got. One said: "Claudia deserves a life time achievement award for how invested she gets in Traitors"
Alan calls the Faithfuls 'proper cringe' as they fumble for clues
Shocked by the murder of Celia Imrie, the Faithfuls are hunting for clues. But their theories are "proper cringe" to Alan Carr.
He murdered Celia and knows exactly how it happened, but in a conversation with Kate Garraway, he pretended he didn't. To the cameras he gave his honest opinion on Kate's guesses.
"Kate even thinks it's because I didn't have sun dried tomatoes on me plate. I mean, that's how desperate the faithfuls are. I mean, it's proper cringe.”
Celia is murdered by Alan!
Celia Imrie is the latest victim of the Traitors in a murder in plain sight which shocked viewers - and left the actor “devastated”.
The 73-year-old actor was killed off by Alan when he said the line “Parting is such sweet sorrow” from a William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet during a dinner party in the castle.
Fans favourite Celia was unaware she had been ‘murdered’ until she got a note the next day.
After being given a branded note on a chair saying she had been murdered in plain sight, Celia said: “Oh, Lord, this is not a very good sign.
“Am I dead? Dear Celia, by order of the traitors, you have been murdered. Yesterday The traitors murdered you in plain sight. Oh, honestly! Just because I was brave enough to get the one traitor out. What a mean one.
“I love being here. It's been gorgeous, and I'm devastated. I so wanted to stay till the end, but it's a game.”
Alan's done it!
He's only gone and done it! Alan Carr said the magic words to murder in plain sight... but who has he killed? And will anyone realise that's how he did it?
Kate Garraway admits Celebrity Traitors changed her life after ‘sad few years’
Tissues at the ready - Kate Garraway has spoken about how her co-stars have changed her outlook on life after a ‘sad few years’.
Speaking to the remaining contestants at the dinner party, she said: “I feel like I've learned lots from all of you in different ways.
"I mean, sorry, it probably sounds a bit naff, but I feel a bit inspired. I've laughed so much. I think I've had quite a few years recently that have been quite sad.
“I've had to be quite controlled and inward looking. And you've all made me feel a bit like I'm looking out. I really do.”
Kate has been through some very tough times including the death of husband Derek Draper in January 2024 at the age of 56 after a lengthy battle with the long-term effects of Covid. There have also been subsequent financial issues from his costly healthcare.
Is Alan getting cold feet?
Dastardly Alan Carr has been playing a great game but is he getting cold feet?
The chatty man said: "There’s seven of us left. The more time I spend with them, the more I bond with them and now I’m going to have to murder one of them.”
Will he manage to pull off the murder in plain sight?
The Celebrity Traitors semi-final begins!
And we're off! The semi-final of the Celebrity Traitors has started and Alan and Cat are preparing to murder in plain sight...
Who will be bumped off? We'll find out soon!
Alan Carr hailed as 'greatest TV villain' as fans predict bold move
Is Alan Carr the 'greatest TV villain' ever? And did anyone think they'd be asking that question when The Celebrity Traitors started?
Fans have hailed Alan Carr as an incredible villain as they predict he will dob Cat in as a traitor in the next episode. The two have so far stuck together, but betraying Jonathan Ross last night has given Alan the backstabbing bug?
One fan said: "Alan Carr is becoming the greatest TV villain since Big Brother 1 Nasty Nick." Another added: "I think Alan is going to sell out Cat tonight. You heard it here first!!!"
Celebrity Traitors stars set to reunite on hit BBC show
Two stars of the Celebrity Traitors are set to reunite on Strictly Come Dancing this weekend.
Claudia Winkleman will be co-presenting the show, while fabulous Traitor Cat Burns is the musical guest. It's Halloween Week, which makes it a fitting time for the stars of the spooky, murderous series to be brought back together.
But, sadly, Cat has revealed that she will not be wearing her Traitors cloak.
Cat Burns breaks silence on stabbing Jonathan in the back
Celebrity Traitors star Cat Burns has spoken out about turning on her fellow Traitor Jonathan Ross at the roundtable last night.
Cat was one of the first to bring up Jonathan's name in last night's episode and voted for him. Her betrayal helped send him home. But according to Cat, it "had to be done". She told Clara Amfo and Vernon Kay that she had no choice but to vote for Jonathan.
"It had to be done," she said. "It was the Big Dog theory, so if I thought, 'If I don't do it, it's going to look dodgy."
When is the Celebrity Traitors finale?
Tonight is the penultimate episode of The Celebrity Traitors, can you believe it?
The show is barrelling towards it's end, which will air at 9PM on 6 November. Audiences can't wait to see who will make it to the final and if the stellar Traitors Cat Burns and Alan Carr will take home the gold or if the Faithfuls win win.
Fans still can't get over Jonathan Ross' 'iconic' exit speech
As far as exit speeches on the Traitors go, Jonathan Ross' has got to be one of the best. The TV personality was voted out in last night's episode of the Celebrity Traitors, making him the first Traitor to go.
As he left, he told the Faithfuls that they were "all idiots". He said: “I’ve got no idea what everyone’s doing wrong. I can’t believe you’ve done it again. I can’t believe that I’m standing here for no good reason I don’t want to be rude but - you’re idiots! I’m not judging, because it’s fiendish - I’m not blaming the players, I’m blaming the game.
“I am now, and have been all through the game, completely Faithful,” he insisted, as heads went into hands around the table, before he added: “To the Traitors!”
Fans still can't get over the speech and one took to social media to say: "Just witnessed some serious backstabbing and dirty work in Celebrity Traitors! The iconic exit speech will be remembered for ages."
BBC stars think they've rumbled why Cat Burns is so good on the Celebrity Traitors
BBC stars Clara Amfo and Vernon Kay think they know why Cat Burns is a great Traitor...
Appearing on The One Show, Cat was asked how she would fare at a Halloween scare fest and she said it depends on the day, because if she's anxious, she'd be scared, but if she's not, then "that's an actor" and shrugged.
Vernon then said: "I think that speaks volumes considering what we're watching on the Traitors at the moment".
Cat's compartmentalising has also been listed as her greatest asset by fellow Traitor Jonathan Ross, who was the first Traitor to leave the show in last night's episode.
Celebrity Traitors stars set for double plot twist in penultimate episode
The Celebrity Traitors has been packed with twists and turns so far, and though the show is nearing its end, those plot twists are far from over. A dramatic double twist has already been revealed for the penultimate episode.
Not only will there be a murder in plain sight, but at the roundtable, whichever celeb is banished will not be allowed to tell the group if they are a Faithful or a Traitor, leaving the Faithfuls completely in the dark!
It's very evil, well-played BBC.
