Ranganathan, Croft Relieved Celebrity Traitors Win Is Out
- On Friday, October 30, 2026, Faithfuls Comedian Romesh Ranganathan and Actor Sebastian Croft won the BBC reality series The Celebrity Traitors after banishing Traitors Maya Jama and King Kenny. The pair will split the £83,000 prize pot between their chosen charities.
- Shortly before the final, Croft altered his strategy and decided to trust Ranganathan. He admitted, "I think until about an hour and a half before, I was so split between whether I was going to go with James until the end or with Romesh and King Kenny."
- Donations from the finalists will support Choose Love and the Refugee Council, while Jama also made a contribution to Action for Children. Her move was praised by the charity for its "generous" impact on vulnerable families.

- Appearing on Ranganathan's BBC Radio 2 show on Saturday, the pair admitted they felt paranoid about being seen in public together while keeping their victory secret for months. Croft noted he finally felt relief after the result aired.
