The latest season of Celebrity Traitors had the whole nation gripped to our TVs every Wednesday and Thursday night, as stars from across the world of film, telly, comedy and more came together to suss out who among them was hiding a murderous secret.
From shocking roundtable discussions to exciting missions, hilarious dance routines and Richard E Grant telling everyone he was a Traitor about five minutes after being chosen as one, the action-packed season of the BAFTA-winning reality show had it all.
In fact, with so much going on in the castle, there were plenty of twists and turns that didn’t even make it into the version of the show that millions of us tuned into.

Jerry Hall accused James Acaster outright of being on the dark side long before the rest of the cast
Jerry Hall made quite an impact during her time in the Celebrity Traitors castle – although it was usually because of her slightly unhinged theories about the game.
But the model did make one correct prediction during her time on the show. Unfortunately, it just never made the final cut.
Speaking on Life’s A Beach, James Acaster told last season’s winner that Jerry clocked him long before anyone else did.
“They cut out [a scene where] Jerry Hall went right up to me face to face, this close, accused me of being a Traitor,” James recalled, revealing that she declared: “I........
