Celebrity Traitors star Cat Burns was ‘unmasked’ as a Traitor by Jonathan Ross at the latest Round Table, according to viewers.
Yesterday’s (October 29) episode of the cloak and dagger series saw talkshow host Jonathan dramatically banished from the show.
Faithfuls Celia Imrie, Nick Mohammed, Joe Marler and Kate Garraway voted him out, as did his fellow Traitors Cat and Alan Carr.
But viewers think a split-second widening of the eyes from Jonathan might just have given the game away, though. He was reacting to Cat voting for him, unable to hide his shock.
Fans believe Cat could now be in serious jeopardy if any of the Faithfuls picked up on this slipping of the mask.
Celebrity Traitors: Fan reaction to Cat Burns banishing Jonathan Ross
As Jonathan’s betrayal aired on BBC One, fans watching Celebrity Traitors poured onto social media site X.
“Oh my word that face when Cat voted for Jonathan,” read one of the posts. Another person wrote: “The way Jonathan looked shocked at Cat… you’re gonna give people away.”
A third added: “I hope the others noted Jonathan’s reaction to Cat’s vote.” While someone else said: “Did they CLOCK Jonathan’s eyes when Cat voted for him?! I’m lovingggg the drama.”
Now that the Faithfuls have finally caught a Traitor, fans are wanting more blood it seems.
More reactions were: “Please, please I hope they remember JR’s reaction to Cat and then Alan voting for him, completely shocked unlike the rest of them… it was damning” and “If any of the faithful were looking at Jonathan when Cat voted for him they’d know she was a traitor too, any more of a facial reaction and he might as well have screamed like Alan on the bridge.”
Meanwhile, one viewer tipped Cat to go on to win the game: “Look at Jonathan’s face. No one has clocked that? Cat’s so going to win this. I don’t know whether to be fuming or impressed with her,” they said.
Why did Cat turn on Jonathan?
When it was her time to chip in at the roundtable, Cat revived Joe’s Big Dog Theory that seemed to catch fire earlier in the series. As they were the two biggest personalities in the group, Joe theorised that either Stephen Fry or Jonathan would be the natural choice to lead the Traitors.
Stephen revealed himself to be a Faithful upon banishment and so Cat saw the latest Round Table as an opportunity to give the Faithfuls a victory they desperately needed.
“I just wanted to be honest in that I’m a bit suspicious of you Jonathan,” began Cat, before alluding to Ruth Codd’s murder. “I was leaning towards Stephen but then obviously we found out Stephen was a Faithful, so I am now leaning towards you.”
Jonathan replied: “It’s a valid theory. If I go, you haven’t got much of a team left, that’s the thing. But if that’s what your feeling is, I’m telling you you’re not gonna be pleased with the end results!”
Low and behold, Jonathan confirmed his Traitor status when his fate was sealed.
He went on to appear on spin-off show Uncloaked, claiming Cat displayed “the best tactical brain” amongst the three Traitors and “deserves to win”.
