Celebrity Traitors Uncloaked

Ed Gamble is back for another series of the award-winning podcast and this time he's at the castle with the banished and murdered Celebrity players to reveal the Traitors’ identities in person!

Listen to The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked on BBC Sounds or watch on BBC iPlayer from 8 October.

Paloma Faith was the first one banished: 'I’d have liked to have been a Traitor, and I'd have enjoyed that. I'd have been quite a playful Traitor, which would have been quite entertaining. I also feel like it was a big fashion mistake not to see me in the cloak'. Asked who she'd like to get to the end she said; 'I’d like to see someone kind and strategic win like Nick Mohammed, he’s proof you can be kind, considerate and clever to play the game well – you don’t have to be evil.'

Joe Wilkinson was the fifth Faithful murdered by the Traitors. He talks about it below.

Was The Celebrity Traitors everything you expected?

Yeh, it was great. Only downside was I didn't see the turret.

You would have liked to have been a Traitor then?

Yes, I really wanted to see the turret.

Would you like to have done the full experience perhaps? Start faithful, then be recruited..?

Yes, I might be repeating myself but I wanted to see inside the turret.

Were you happy to be a Faithful?

I wasn't initially because of not seeing the turret, but after an hour or so, I thought, sod all that lying stuff.

What did you think of the Missions? Did you have a favourite?

My favourite Mission was when Alan got pulled up into a net.

Did you have a personal highlight?

Celia’s fart. I initially assumed it was Joe Marler cos of the volume.

Have you learned anything about yourself?

Absolutely nothing.

What three words would sum up your experience?

Lots of fun.

Who would you like to see win?

Joe Marler.

Lucy Beaumont was the sixth Faithful murdered by the Traitors

 

Was The Celebrity Traitors everything you expected it to be?

And more. It was such an amazing, immersive experience. You genuinely feel a bond with everybody. It was brilliant and everything you'd want it to be.

Were you happy to be a faithful?

At first, I was disappointed, and then I realised ‘oh my God, I don't think I could hack it being a Traitor,’ so I was really glad to be a Faithful.

Did you enjoy the Missions?

They were like PE lessons! They were a bonding experience. The one with the well and the banshees’ wails was hilarious - I've never laughed so much. And, the Trojan horse was genuinely really heavy, but it was so epic.

What has been a personal highlight of this whole experience?

Spending time with so many really fascinating people. A lot of them are on TV and stuff, but it was sort of like getting to know people for who they really are and people you may never cross paths otherwise. Celia was wild – I think she is the coolest person.

How did it feel to be murdered face to face? Were you shocked?

Yes, but it was thrilling as well because it felt like a bit of a gift to finally find out who the Traitors are. It's been driving me insane. Shame I can't then go back into the game and solve it! I was so surprised about Cat [Burns], I just couldn’t believe it.

Were you surprised about the other two Traitors?

Well, I think they did the right thing by murdering me because I had an idea about Jonathan and I’d have been trying to get the other Faithfuls to look at him still if I were still in the game. It might be that they now actually go off the scent of Jonathan [Ross], which I suppose is the point, because they may think, ‘no, he wouldn't just keep murdering people who voted for him’, but yes, he is!

Do you think because Stephen's been banished now, the ‘big dog theory’ may see more eyes on Jonathan?

Well, Joe Marler really suspects Jonathan, and I just wonder if he might start becoming suspicious of Cat if Cat doesn't go for Jonathan. It will be interesting because there's still enough people that Cat doesn't have to vote for Jonathan, but I just wonder, will they take out Joe Marler next? If Cat’s a good Traitor, she'll have to take out Jonathan.

Which of the Traitors do you think is most likely to turn on the others?

I think Jonathan would be quite happy to turn on either of them, really. But I don't think they need to at the moment.

Was it harder than you thought it would be?

Oh God, yeah. When you watch at home, you're like, why aren't they getting it? And then when you hear it's that, of course, because it's impossible, but they pick good traitors. I think I would be buckling a bit.

If you could sum up your experience in three words, what would they be?

Incredible. Exhausting. Annoying.

Who would you like to win?

Well, here's the thing, because I feel like I should back the Faithfuls, but Cat is just doing such a good job. I do sort of want her to win.
