James Acaster admits betrayal and is banished on Celebrity Traitors
Comedian James Acaster revealed he was a Traitor during the penultimate round of Celebrity Traitors and was subsequently voted out, while Michael Sheen led the Faithful's interrogation of the remaining suspects.
Comedian James Acaster, a contestant on this year’s Celebrity Traitors, disclosed in the diary room that he had been recruited as a Traitor and chose to be honest about his status. During the penultimate round-table discussion, host Michael Sheen questioned the remaining players, focusing on Maya Jama and Acaster as possible Traitors. After Acaster confirmed his role, the Faithful voted to banish him from the game.
The episode also saw Sheen intensify the interrogation, noting that only Maya Jama and Acaster had been present with the victim, Ross Kemp, in the library. Maya Jama defended herself by suggesting Sheen might be deflecting suspicion. Following Acaster’s admission, the room voted for his removal, ending the episode’s tension.
Acaster has previously expressed that the show is “just a game” and suggested producers consider that perspective. The series has attracted a large audience, with the opening episode reportedly drawing over 15 million viewers.
