Celebrity Traitors fans are convinced that Celia Imrie is hiding a huge secret after a string of Claudia Winkleman ‘clues’.
The first season of Celebrity Traitors is nearly halfway through, with six out of the 19 famous faces who started the competition being either murdered or banished.
The three Traitors – Jonathan Ross, Cat Burns, and Alan Carr – have managed to keep their identity a secret, putting the Faithful’s £100k jackpot under threat.
However, fans now believe that one Faithful could be getting close to finding out who has been hiding as a Traitor.
Taking to Reddit, a fan theory has teased that Celia could be secretly working as a detective character.
They said: ‘Celia is secretly a detective character. When she makes a correct guess at the roundtable, Claudia surreptitiously responds to her with a wink.

‘No wink means her guess isn’t a Traitor.
‘The existence of a detective in the game will be revealed to us sometime this coming week, then at some point later on to the Traitors.’
Explaining their thought process, they continued: ‘The very first 30 secs of episode one, in which Claudia was hanging portraits of the players. She says, “as for this one…” then Celia’s portrait winks at her.
‘Claudia replies, “knockout”. None of that makes any sense – but it all happens in such a blur you forget it immediately.’
The user theorised that Celia’s declarations during the game about ‘snooping’ are a hint at what’s to come.
They also said that the now-famous moment she broke wind could be a distraction to cover up any clues on social media.
Responding to the theory, fans penned: ‘This is genius. Hopping on this bandwagon before it’s confirmed, haha!’
‘This actually would be such a good little twist.’

Fans then shared their thoughts on the theory
‘I love this theory, I did pick up on the photo and “knockout” comment then completely forgot about it. But what would the detective character actually mean? Aren’t all Faithfuls basically playing detectives?’,
‘I think you’re wrong but you pitch this SO well that I’m now thoroughly onboard. Well done.’
‘I love this idea. I agree with the other comment though – usually everything is explained to the audience in advance. I don’t think the producers are hiding anything from us, but god this would be amazing to watch. Celia is so much fun!’
‘I really hope you are right and there is an unexpected twist.’
Celia Imrie left viewers and her fellow Celebrity Traitors in stitches as she made an X-rated remark and broke into a loud wail during Thursday’s episode.
The actress, 73, was called ‘the highlight of the series’ during the task which saw the contestants try and increase their prize fund.
The celebrities split up into two teams with one team running into the forest where they had to listen to the sound of wailing banshees.
They then had to gather around a well and mimic the wail into the well, with the other team waiting at another well to listen to the sound and then sing it out loud to match it to a locket.
As the challenge began, Celia and her team ran past the well and gathered around it.
Lucy Beaumont said: ‘Well, you know what you do in a well, don’t you?’
Celia responded: ‘Put the p***y in.’
The team then burst into laughter with Joe Marler saying: ‘Exactly what we’re all thinking Celia. Can we have a small explanation?’
She replied: ‘It’s one of those nursery rhymes. It’s what we’re all thinking, might as well say it.
‘We were NOT all thinking it,’ Alan Carr said.
