*Warning – This article contains major spoilers for episode eight of Celebrity Traitors.*
Celebrity Traitors fans believe they’ve exposed the winner of the series as one star unveiled their “dangerous” game plan on Thursday (October 30).
Earlier this month, Claudia Winkleman returned to the Scottish Highlands, as 19 celebrities hoped to lie, betray and backstab their way to winning £100,000 for a charity of their choice.
Alan Carr, Cat Burns and Jonathan Ross were chosen as the Traitors, and the trio quickly made it their mission to kill off as many Faithfuls as possible.
Jonathan became the first Traitor to be banished on Wednesday (October 30) after he received the most votes at the roundtable.
At the start of tonight’s episode, Celia Imrie became the latest Faithful to be murdered after Alan killed her in plain sight during a celebratory dinner.
The Traitor toasted his intended victim with the magic words: “Parting is such sweet sorrow.”
Later in the episode, Kate Garraway was banished at the penultimate roundtable after receiving the most votes from her fellow players.
This means that the finalists are Faithfuls David Olusoga, Nick Mohammed and Joe Marler, as well as Traitors Alan and Cat.
Shortly after the banishment, Joe secretly told David and Nick that he believes that Alan and Cat are Traitors.
“There’s no hiding place round those small roundtables now, and tonight, Nick convinced me that Cat is a Traitor that has gone way under the radar the entire game,” he explained.
“I think that Cat and Alan are Traitors. I think it might be both of them.”
During a secret conversation with David in the corridor, Joe whispered: “This will sound really suspicious and I know you being the intelligent man that you are… I’m convinced that it’s Alan and Cat.
“I’m playing a very dangerous game of remaining very close to them because I’m certain that I’m a Faithful and I’m certain that Nick’s a Faithful. You’re a Faithful. Just watch them.”
Joe later said: “My plan involves getting really close to Alan and Cat, so they keep me in the game. And then I can try and pull the rug from under their feet last minute. Sorry Traitors, I’m coming for you.”
ImageAfter watching the tense episode, BBC viewers quickly took to social media to share their theory that Joe will win the series after clocking the Traitors’ true identities.
“Joe’s gonna win,” one person wrote on X (formerly Twitter), with another adding: “Faithful win. Joe has them sussed.”
A third said: “Okay pack it up Joe is my winner now,” with a fourth viewer similarly sharing: “Joe Marler is the new Sherlock Holmes.”
Will Joe’s plan work? We’ll have to wait and see.
