Celebrity Traitors live updates - Rob Beckett and Hannah Fry out as star told off by bosses

Celebrity Traitors live updates - Rob Beckett and Hannah Fry out as star told off by bosses The Traitors have struck early in the episode this week - but Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Romesh Ranganathan and Ross Kemp were spared from murder. Celebrity Traitors lost two of its biggest stars tonight. Comedian Rob Beckett cackled as he was murdered face-to-face by the trio of Traitors in the woods. The Faithful made a big slip-up from the start, with the Traitors correctly deducing that the group would give the key of protection to the only woman of the group, Leigh-Anne Pinnock. Gentlemanly, yes. Smart, not so much. Later, Traitor Hannah Fry was toppled at the Round Table, receiving an almost unanimous vote from her co-stars. But she was replaced in short order by internet personality King Kenny, who couldn't believe that Maya Jama and James Acaster were Traitors. Like this story?

Key Events James A told off by show bosses While James is struggling to be a Traitor, he also struggled being isolated from the outside world. In a new interview, he explained that the celebs are carted off to a hotel around an hour away from the castle after filming. While locked away from friends and family, the contestants are only allowed to FaceTime a friend or relative for ten minutes every morning. "A member of the production team is there with you, so you can’t have an authentic conversation because you can't tell them anything that's happening," he said. He went on to add that he was told off for sharing an insight into a challenge. He continued: "At one point, my partner said, 'Have you caught the sun?' I was saying, 'Oh yeah, we were outside for one of the missions.' I was told I couldn't even tell her that." Awkward...

Rob Beckett shares favourite castle memory The comedian spoke to Ed Gamble the morning after his murder was filmed and the chat was played during last night’s Uncloaked. Asked what his favourite memory of the castle was, Rob said: “Meeting Jerry Hall, I love her, she’s got such an amazing energy. She tells me her life motto probably every eight minutes, [launches into a Texas accent] ‘what will be, will be’.” Fans react to Hannah leaving One X user wrote: "She had it tough, but wow how she sorted the Roman numerals. Phwoar. Go Hannah and thanks for giving us a bit of you. Intelligent woman!" Another said: "She was set up to fail lets all be real." A third said: "Hannah played such a strong traitor, what an exit and well done to the faithful and Maya you got yourself a traitor." ICYMI: The iconic Miranda gallop.. Traitors land themselves a place in the final? It has now been claimed by one fan that the Traitors are going to sail to the final.. "I'd honestly say that's it over now. The faithful have 4 targets of their own to banish, being James Blunt, Jerry, Leanne and Ross and then they'll go after those that voted them also. Plus Joe has essentially begged for banishment also," one fan suggested. "Kill Romesh or Miranda next and it's done. Traitors started weak but Kenny was the absolute best choice and now they'll stroll to the final." What you missed tonight.. If you had more exciting plans then watching the Traitors (not sure what those plans could be because I've been GLUED to my sofa)... then we've got a round-up for you. Here's all the talking points so you can pretend you were watching at home... - Rob Beckett was murdered face to face by the Traitors - The group took part in a terrifying Death Parade mission but won an impressive amount of cash - with 6 stars putting themselves at increased risk - Hannah Fry tried to convince everyone she wasn't a Traitor but only managed to convince Romesh and even her fellow Traitors voted to banish her - The Traitors had a choice - murder or recruit again. They chose to recruit and King Kenny is now a new Traitor, alongside existing stars James A and Maya Jama Rob and Hannah's VERY different reactions While comedian Rob Beckett found being murdered funny in The Celebrity Traitors, Professor Hannah Fry said she’d cried more during her five days of playing the game than at any other point in her life. “I really preferred being Faithful. I think it's just a much more authentic experience,” she added, saying that one of the lessons learned was that she hated “lying to people’s faces”. “I think there's actually some pride in being a rubbish Traitor," Hannah said. Joanne's fate sealed Celebrity Traitors fans think Joanne McNally will be banished from the castle next. The Irish comedienne, 43, is currently playing as a Faithful on Claudia Winkleman's hit BBC game show but one tactic she seems to have employed at the roundtable has seemingly sealed her fate. During Thursday's episode of the programme, she voted for actor Sebastian Croft to be banished, thereby claiming she believed he was a Traitor. Earlier in the episode, Joanne seemed to raise suspicion that she was a Traitor, accidentally claming that she had been the Hide & Seek game when Ross Kemp said: "I looked at everybody when we got out of those cars and I thought I was going home, and it was honestly, an awful experience." It was then that Joanne bizarrely chimed in with: "It was horrible...it was...I wasn't there I mean but I was watching." Our review is in! "Somehow James is managing to succeed as a Traitor while playing as a Faithful. Yes, it’s quite weird, but against the odds he’s making it work. And watching him try to justify every little thing he does - presumably so he can sleep at night and also so he can point this out to everyone afterwards - is fascinating," writes our TV Editor Nicola Methven. Celebrity link revealed! One of the surprising things Professor Hannah Fry discovered in The Celebrity Traitors was that she is actually related to Irish comedian Joanne McNally. Speaking after leaving the show, Hannah said they’d worked out their cousins are married to each other. “We're basically sisters,” she laughed. “I really loved her so much. She described herself as coming out of the womb as a show pony - that’s the perfect description of that woman. She is phenomenal. She knows exactly who she is, and she is totally unapologetic about it. I cannot tell you how much I admire her.” Friends for life! Hannah reveals fellow Traitors' mistakes Hannah has some great theories - if only she had stayed a Faithful. Her three rules were: 1. Traitors will never all travel in the car. 2. Traitors do a 'burn' vote for the first roundtables. 3. Traitors swap their votes to go with the 'herd'. Romesh exit 'sealed' Faithful Jade is convinced Romesh needs to garner some suspicion or he'll be at risk of leaving. He is currently 'too Faithful' according to the former player. Will Romesh be sent on his way soon - or will he survive? Bash is the 'best Faithful' The verdict is in - and former Traitor Minah thinks Bash is the best Faithful so far. She revealed that he has successfully named all the Traitors - but will he get the alliances he needs to sway the votes? Rob speaks out Rob has spoken out following his exit from the show. And whilst he wasn't sure of anyone else, he knew his best friend Romesh was a Faithful! "Romesh looks hard to read, but I know him like a brother, and I knew, as soon as I looked him in the eye, that he was a Faithful, and he knew I was a Faithful," he said. Theories time! Right - what's everybody's theories on what happens next? Who's at risk - and who will be safe? Time for Uncloaked - we're ready to dissect it all!! Hannah's advice! Banished Hannah has offered up some parting advice for the remaining Faithful by saying they should remember that three Traitors will never, ever hang out together. Which could be a useful clue! “You'll never get three Traitors in a car together, you'll never get three Traitors sitting together at breakfast,” she told them. “They want to avoid each other. So if you keep track of every time you see three or four people together then you can really quickly start to filter them down and work out the combinations.” The problem with that theory is that everything changes once someone switches sides with a recruitment. Because behaviour you saw at the start, when they were staunchly Faithful, no longer stands once they’ve become a Traitor. So every time a seduction is suspected, you’d basically need to start afresh. I say give it up, it’s making my head hurt just thinking about it. Kenny accepts! Well, we now have three Traitors again. Maya says Kenny, James and her are set - and soon they will kill again... "The faithfuls are doomed," Kenny warns... Another Traitor recruited! Well not what I was expecting but the Traitors have made their decision! They have decided to recruit King Kenny rather than murder. Will he accept? Next move 'sealed' Well it's quite obvious Joanne is going to be heading home next... The celebrities would be quite silly not voting for Joanne to leave next. But first - the Traitors can recruit if they wish? Will they or will they decide to murder? Maybe they'll follow their usual pattern and recruit Joanne to get the heat off them once again? Avenge Rob's death! Our TV expert Nicola Methven writes: "When Rob Beckett was murdered, which he found totally hilarious, the comedian said that his departure was “good news for the Faithful” because he was nowhere near to working out who the Traitors were. “But my boy Romesh will avenge my death and he will get them,” he declared, certain that his comedy sidekick would come out fighting for him. "Well, Romesh did say at breakfast that Rob should have been given the key to lock the Traitors out, because Leigh-Anne was too obvious a choice. "But later on his gameplay went less well. If Rob is watching tonight he’ll see that Romesh was one of only TWO players not to vote Traitor Hannah out (aside from Hannah herself) having switched his vote to James Blunt. Ah well, the avenging can always start tomorrow…" A Miranda gallop.. Well a celebration would be nothing without a Miranda gallop! Iconic! Hannah is gone! Hannah bows out - and is the second Traitor to be caught by the Faithful! I think her exit is a bit unfair, most of the fellow celebrities have given the reason that she'd make a great Traitor or she'd be murdered because she's so clever. Appreciate it's the nature of the game but it does seem a little unfair in my eyes... Is this it? There's so much heat on Hannah - has she sealed her own exit? We're about to find out who heads home! Joanne's fatal mistake.. This is the series of faux pas clearly as Joanne's just made a big mistake. When they discussed how tough the hide and seek 'game' was, Joanne said it was too. She obviously wasn't involved so has she now just put herself in very dangerous territory? Suspicion grows... For the first time this series, Bash has suggested James A would be a great Traitor. The verdict is still out on that. Hannah's great at convincing Romesh to save her. But she's also got two more Traitors in with her, so it's not enough to sway the vote her way. Is this it? Hannah sacrifices herself too... Right guys - probably should have thought this through! That's Maya, James A and Hannah unable to influence the vote in the castle - and Joanne, Romesh and Jerry all locked up too. Maya sacrifices herself too So that's two out of three Traitors currently out of the castle all day, not sure they planned this well... James A and Romesh caught So James A and Romesh have now 'sacrificed' themselves and won't be back until the roundtable. Does that put them at more risk? Probably! And will anyone pick up with how relaxed James seemed about sacrificing himself? The scariest mission yet... Honestly, these missions get scarier and scarier. Being chased down by the 'Death Parade'? No thank you!
