During Thursday’s gripping episode, traitors Alan Carr, Jonathan Ross, and Cat Burns huddled to decide which star—Charlotte Church, Kate Garraway, or David Olusaga—would face their next “murder.” As they deliberated, Alan couldn’t resist a playful jab at Kate, quipping, “If Kate doesn’t come down for breakfast, people will just think she’s gone into a broom cupboard by mistake.” The cheeky remark had viewers in stitches, but Kate wasn’t about to let it slide.
Taking to Instagram, Kate turned the shade into pure comedy gold. She shared a hilarious clip that featured Alan’s quip followed by a perfectly timed skit of herself emerging from a broom cupboard, muttering, “Sorry, that’s a broom cupboard, I’m just looking for the breakfast room.” Captioning the post with her signature charm, she wrote, “Me? Confused? Bumbling into the wrong room? What can @chattyman mean!” The post had fans roaring with laughter and Alan himself chiming in with crying-laughing emojis and kissy faces, proving the banter was all in good fun.
The Celebrity Traitors fandom flooded the comments, showering Kate with love. One fan gushed, “Just the best line from Alan! You just have to laugh as he’s probably spot on. I’m a broom cupboard girl too!” Another wrote, “Bet you were flabbergasted when you realized.” A third declared, “Protect Kate at all costs. Her reactions alone make the whole show so funny when you know she’s not a traitor. In her own world of adventure.” And a fourth cheekily asked, “Good one Kate, pretty sure Alan does love you, but the question will be, do you still love him?”
This isn’t the first time Kate has been at the center of the show’s drama. In the second episode, the celebrities gathered for a chilling graveyard “funeral” for a murdered star. The traitors had to eliminate a faithful in plain sight, with Alan delivering the fatal touch to Paloma Faith, whose coffin was dramatically slammed shut by host Claudia Winkleman. As the cast reeled in shock, Kate’s exclamation of “That is flabbergasting!” drew a suspicious side-eye from Olympian Tom Daley, who clearly wasn’t buying her theatrics.
Kate didn’t miss a beat, taking to Instagram to share a snap of Tom’s priceless expression. “Agh!! What a cliffhanger – am genuinely flabbergasted!!!! How could you all suspect me? And think that my reactions are too dramatic?” she wrote, poking fun at herself with, “I mean just look at how many exclamation marks in this – that’s not dramatic is it? Mum’s the word on my side though – see you on @gmb tomorrow from 6am @bbc #celebritytraitors.”
Fans couldn’t get enough of the moment. One commented, “This look from Tom made me giggle!! Poor you Kate, we love you.” Another added, “Tom’s face was hilarious, your ‘flabbergast’ reaction defo put the nail in the coffin for you as far as he was concerned, no pun intended.”
Kate Garraway’s charm, quick comebacks, and ability to laugh at herself are making her the heart and soul of The Celebrity Traitors. As the tension builds and the traitors plot their next move, one thing’s clear: Kate’s infectious energy is what everyone’s talking about.
