BBC Celebrity Traitors banished star 'let slip' who wins as final date confirmed; The game is getting intense after another Traitor has been recruited.
Byline: By, Holly ClarkeCelebrity Traitors fans believe one star could have "let slip" the winner of the series. Claudia Winkleman has returned to the iconic Scottish castle for a fresh series of the hit reality game show, this time with a new batch of famous faces. Taking part this year include actor Michael Sheen and comedian Miranda Hart.
From Richard E. Grant's painful Traitor admission to Maya Jama's incredibly clever game, the Celebrity Traitors is already proving to be one of this year's TV highlights. But who will take home the title, the Faithfuls or the Traitors
The series is comprised of 10 episodes, as the stars will have the chance to win a cash prize of up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.
However, fans were heartbroken when Coronation Street icon Julie Hesmondhalgh was banished from the castle at the roundtable. Julie's passion for the game meant she came under suspicion, despite being a Faithful.
Julie has since spoken about how muchBBC Celebrity Traitors TV schedule as final date confirmed-stars are playing the game. Love Island host Maya Jama is impressing audiences as a Traitor, while remaining completely under the radar in the castle.
Speaking about Maya on BBC Radio 5 Live, Julie said: "Oh she's a machine. She's absolutely incredible. I saw her on Instagram apologising for her lack of glam in the show because she was so tired."
She laughed as she said: "It's time for us all to throw in the towel now in any attempts to be anything remotely glamorous. She's just such an incredible person, and so kind actually and warm."
The actress added: "She's playing the game like a good'un. I don't like it when Traitors win, but I might even make an exception for Maya."
After this comment, fans rushed to the comments wondering if Julie had "let slip" that Maya will win, or whether she is just making her own predictions.
On Instagram, one Traitors fan said: "So she won Is that what she is saying" A second replied: "She said she might make an exception, doesn't mean she did. A lot of the players won't know."
A third said: "Maya is THE BEST".
But according to the BBC, when the contestants are banished, they do not find out the winner of the competition until it plays out on-screen for viewers.
During the latest episode, Traitors Maya and James Acaster had to decide whether to recruit or murder. They decided to recruit Kenny, who was incredibly excited to be taking on the role of a Traitor.
The BBC recently confirmed the date of the final. The finale episode of Celebrity Traitors will air the day before Halloween, on Friday, October 30. See the full list of episodes below:
