Others added: ‘Cat the heck ??! What do you mean you don’t know the two Dames!!’; ‘Cat needs to be banished for not knowing who Helen Mirren is’;
‘I’m only three years older than Cat and her not knowing Helen Mirren makes me feel positively ancient’; ‘Not knowing Helen Mirren is criminal Cat’; ‘Not Cat asking who’s Helen Mirren.’
Elsewhere the episode was thrown into chaos as the roundtable was hit by the first tie-break in the show’s history.
In a jaw-dropping episode, the stars’ attempts to banish who they thought was a traitor ended in a stalemate, with the next name to be axed left hanging in the air.
As the episode came to a close, it was revealed that David Olusoga and Mark Bonnar were tied on four votes each, and host Claudia Winkleman sternly warned that no stars would leave the roundtable until someone was banished.
This meant that all of the stars, Mark and David excluded, would be asked to vote again, and if there was still a draw, then their fate would be left to chance.
Both Mark and David issued desperate pleas to the rest of the roundtable, and then each of the stars were asked to cast another vote for either of them to be banished.
But even after yet another vote, both Mark and David were tied with five votes.

Claudia then revealed that their fate would be left to chance, with Alan Carr noting this was the first time it had happened in the show’s history.
However, viewers will be left waiting until Thursday to see who is banished, with some fans fuming to see yet another episode end on a cliffhanger.
Earlier in the episode, another Faithful also succumbed to the Celebrity Traitors, in a bid to avoid their identities being uncovered.
Last week’s episodes of the smash hit BBC show ended on a huge cliffhanger as the Traitors Jonathan Ross, Alan Carr and Cat Burns were seen discussing their next target.
Thursday’s installment ended with Jonathan, 63, Alan, 49, and Cat, 25, sealing the fate of one famous face in the form of a sealed letter, setting the sights on singer Charlotte Church, historian David Olusoga and Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway.
And the victim was finally revealed in the opening minutes of Wednesday’s new episode when Charlotte failed to turn up for breakfast.
Before the big reveal though, early breakfast arrival Stephen Fry mused that the singer could have been a Traitor, pointing out the last week’s banishment Clare Balding suspected her
Alan showed off his acting chops as he jumped in and told the others ‘watch her reaction when she sees who has gone.’ As Kate and David entered the room Stephen cried: ‘How wrong we were!’
The Traitors decided on Charlotte as the murder ‘doesn’t throw any suspicion on us,’ with Alan gleefully declaring the impact would ripple through the group as Cat agreed, saying ‘it makes no sense!’
