Grant Admits Secret Role on Show
Celebrity Traitors started on Thursday night, when actor Richard Grant told other players he was a traitor. The Daily Mail said they were at Ardross Castle, where Claudia Winkleman met 21 people. Grant is 69 and Maya Jama is 32, and they were two of three traitors. A traitor must hide that secret from the other players. The BBC (a news group) said Rob Beckett called this a new plan. The Daily Mail said Joe Lycett heard the same answer. Grant called it his biggest mistake.
Jerry Hall has known Grant for 30 years and lives near him. She did not believe he was a traitor. She said he acted that way because he was not chosen. The BBC said series one winner Alan Carr sent Paloma home by touching her face. Ross Kemp led a ship task that raised £15,000. Bella Ramsey put a hat on him, and Leigh-Anne touched his arm. Kemp thought both acts were a murder.
Grant and Maya had to choose one new traitor and murder the other. Amol Rajan, 43, and James Acaster, 41, each asked to join. Acaster said people would look at Grant first if he left. Both men lay in a coffin, but the show did not say who stayed. The Daily Mail said Friday would bring the answer.
