Jonathan Ross has confessed he nearly let slip he was a Traitor in an unaired moment on Celebrity Traitors, that was later cut from the BBC show's broadcast
Jonathan Ross has confessed he nearly let slip he was a Traitor in an unaired moment on Celebrity Traitors. The Traitors on the celebrity version of the hit BBC show have been playing a blinder.
So far, all three Traitors - Alan Carr, Cat Burns and Jonathan - remain and the Faithfuls have been ousting themselves from the castle one by one with only a handful left - and more banishment and murder on the way.
Now, Jonathan - who has been a Traitor from the start - has revealed that he has been reminded to keep things under wraps - before spilling the details of another off air moment that didn't end up on our screens.
Speaking to his daughter Honey on their podcast Reel Talk, he said: "It's nerve-wracking watching it for me. The round tables, of course, because a lot of stuff is edited out and I'm not allowed to talk about the stuff that's edited out, which I can understand why.
" When I started talking about it last week, they sent us all a kind of list saying, 'Just to remind you, these are the things in your contracts you're not allowed to talk about. So I'll skirt around it as much as possible and not break any rules.
"But there's a fairly comprehensive list, and most of it I can see is to protect the integrity of the game as a viewing experience for people, so it makes perfect sense."
However, it wasn't long before Jonathan made a confession about his time on the show - and just why Clare Balding was so suspicious of him and what he might be hiding.
"I don't think I particularly played the game well. Some people weren't playing it well and I think Clare was trying to play it cleverly. She - I think - had figured me out quite clearly and more so than actually appeared on the screen," he said.
"On the Uncloaked episode where she sees it's my name, she goes 'oh I was going to go for him last night' - because I'd actually said something to her the night before which I think made her think it was me. And that wasn't in the show because it didn't lead to the roundtable but I think she was fairly confident it was me."
He added: "So you can imagine how delighted I was when she put Charlotte's name down. She was doing it smart, because she knew she didn't have enough people to support my claim yet and if I say him and he is a Traitor, he may well murder me, so I'll do this and then maybe keep me closer and get rid of me the next time."
In a previous episode, Jonathan admitted there were bits that were left out of the show - including some "gold" moments.
"Obviously, there's so much left on the cutting room floor. There are so many moments. There are so many funny things Alan Carr did and said, which I know already should have been the first episode, should have been the second episode," he said previously.
"There's something that happens later on that I know which should be in but isn't in. And it's like, there's this Alan Carr gold waiting out there to be spun into them."
