Celebrity Traitors 'Bombshell Revelation' Sees James Acaster Become First to Ever Admit Role
Michael Sheen’s growing influence at the round table puts him closer to exposing the Traitors, but it also makes him a target before the finale.
Comedian James Acaster was banished from The Celebrity Traitors on Thursday after receiving the most votes when he admitted to being a reluctant traitor at the penultimate roundtable.
Throughout the series, Acaster adopted a 'Faithful Traitor' strategy, behaving as a Faithful to avoid suspicion; contestant Michael Sheen's intense interrogation mounted pressure that ultimately exposed him.
Outside the game, fans dubbed Acaster an 'accidental sex symbol,' a development he described as 'quite nice' while discussing his newfound attention on the Vinylly Retentive podcast.
Viewers applauded the confession as 'brave and genuine,' creating brilliant television, though some critics claimed it 'undermined' the game and potentially compromised the finale.
The series concludes on Friday with remaining Faithfuls and Traitors competing for a prize pot of up to £100,000 for their chosen charities.
