Earlier in the episode, another of the younger celebrities – actress Ruth Codd, 29 – was murdered by the traitors.
Codd had won fans with her cutting one-liners, and there was sadness on social media to see her go. “Icon down,” wrote one X user.
Her murder comes after she raised her suspicions about TV presenter Jonathan Ross being a traitor during Wednesday’s episode.
Fellow traitor Cat Burns warned that “it could backfire on you” to remove his prime suspect, but Ross replied: “Look, if I was a traitor, I wouldn’t have done that.”
The words “double bluff” and “double double bluff” were bandied around throughout the episode – but in the end, Ross survived to tell the tale.
“How am I still here. I’ve got to be the luckiest traitor in the history of the game,” Ross wondered.
Other highlights from the show included Ross’s leopard cardigan, which Balding likened to a “Flintstones outfit”.
Meanwhile, comedian Alan Carr continues his transformation from giggly liability to cold-hearted killer.
“Let’s get rid of her now before she poisons everyone,” he declared about poor Codd.
Lucy Beaumont wondered whether her height may be a disadvantage. Sir Stephen is “too tall” for her to see his eyes and suss out his motives, she says – although she can tell you if his flies are undone.
And finally, Fartgate hasn’t gone away. At one point, the celebrities were playing badminton, and Carr shouted out to Imrie: “Celia, we need a bit of wind to get it over the net.”
She replied: “Oh, shut up.”
