Celebrity Traitors fans divided over ‘twist of fate’ decision in episode 6

Mark Bonnar was banished after a first-ever use of 'chests of chance' to break a tied vote on Celebrity Traitors, dividing fans over the method.

  • On Wednesday , the BBC's Celebrity Traitors ended on a cliffhanger that left fans speculating and enduring a nearly 24 hour wait for the resolution.
  • After two tied votes, producers faced a stalemate as Mark Bonnar and David Olusoga tied twice, with host Claudia Winkleman warning their fate would be decided by chance if unresolved.
  • Producers introduced a game-of-chance device called the chests of chance, featuring two wooden boxes with one hiding a shield that granted safety in the Traitors franchise.
  • On October 23 the chests were opened and the result confirmed David Olusoga received the shield while Mark Bonnar was banished, and fans were divided over the outcome on social media.
  • With nine celebrities left, the game's math has shifted as show producers noted the Faithfuls now face a one in three chance after the twist resolved a brutal deadlock.
