BBC One’s Celebrity Traitors continued tonight, with the three Traitors murdering their latest Faithful in a savage face-to-face elimination – however, one star wasn’t pleased
The Celebrity Traitors have struck yet again, with the treacherous trio murdering their seventh contestant in the game. Unfortunately, it was comedian Lucy Beaumont who became their latest victim in a face-to-face elimination at the start of tonight’s episode.
The 42-year-old didn’t take it well, admitting that she felt betrayed by friend Cat Burns – who she discovered was a Traitor. “I’m not happy with you at all,” she told Cat, before admitting that she played the game “really, really well”.
When Cat apologised, Lucy said: “No, that’s not good enough.” Speaking after her elimination, she told the show: “There was an element of real shock and feeling betrayed and also relief at finally knowing who they are.”
Meanwhile, Cat admitted that she “felt bad” for murdering her friend, but added: “It had to be done.”
Last week’s episodes left viewers on a massive cliffhanger, with either Nick Mohammed, Kate Garraway or Lucy being murdered by the Traitors face-to-face. After being summoned to a massive chess board at night, the three at risk were tasked with slowly turning around.
If they saw host Claudia Winkleman, then they knew that they were safe, but if they saw the Traitors, then they had been murdered.
Last week, Lucy broke her social media silence to reveal that she had taken a break so as to not give anything away. “People have been asking The Traitors and stuff when I’m out and about, and the thing is, I haven’t done any videos about it,” she said in a video.
“I thought you thought we were still there. Do you think we are still in the castle? No one knows where the castle is, do they? There’s a lot of mystery around it and I’ve been very careful to not give anything away.
“And then the other thing is people ask me about The Traitors like and I just say ‘It’s Clare Balding,’ and they say ‘No, we know who The Traitors are!’ But I think it’s Clare Balding, still. I can’t let it go.
“I knew who The Traitors were but I haven’t been talking to anyone because I didn’t know that you knew that I knew who the Traitors were.
“Do you know that I know? So do you think I’m there and I don’t know or do you think that I’m not there and I shouldn’t know.”
Celebrity Traitors continues tomorrow at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
