James Acaster confesses he was made a traitor on Celebrity Traitors
The Celebrity Traitors returned to BBC One for its penultimate episode, delivering a confession at the round table as the remaining contestants dealt with mounting tensions at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands.
King Kenny Holds the Deciding Double Vote
Following a round table deadlock that left comedian Joanne McNally and actress Sharon Rooney with an equal number of votes, content creator and traitor King Kenny held the final and deciding vote, according to bbc.com. Earlier in the game, Kenny, Maya Jama, and James Acaster were selected by their fellow contestants as the most trusted players during a challenge, earning a special power that resulted in Kenny receiving a dagger granting him a double vote.
