Sad for the contestants, because they all really liked having her around. And sad for us, because hasn\u2019t it been brilliant having Miranda Hart back on the telly? More of that please.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject= The Celebrity Traitors: episode nine \u2013 LIVE&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/tv-and-radio\/live\/2026\/oct\/29\/the-celebrity-traitors-episode-nine-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6ae3a1e18f08924208ba99fa#block-6ae3a1e18f08924208ba99fa\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Let\u2019s run down everyone\u2019s status as it currently stands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Maya Jama \u2013 TRAITOR. The least suspected traitor in the history of the game, arguably. What a genius<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">James Acaster \u2013 TRAITOR. Also wildly trusted by the group at large, perhaps because he still desperately wants to be a faithful.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">King Kenny \u2013 TRAITOR. Growing in stature all the time. The delight on his face when he lies to someone is a sight to behold.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Joanne McNally \u2013 FAITHFUL. Possibly about to be banished. I think she\u2019s going to escape by the skin of her teeth, but for how long?<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Sharon Rooney \u2013 FAITHFUL. Pretty sure she\u2019s about to be murdered, for the crime of having an unvarnished human reaction in a field full of showponies. When will she learn?<\/p>\n<p>Celebrity Traitors. Sharon Rooney &amp; Maya Jama Photograph: BBC\/PA<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Romesh Ranganathan \u2013 FAITHFUL. And everyone knows that he\u2019s a faithful. This means he has never been in greater threat of being murdered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Michael Sheen \u2013 FAITHFUL. But similarly precarious. He\u2019s too smart to have survived this long, people say. And look what happened to Hannah Fry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Sebastian Croft \u2013 FAITHFUL. Just a lovely boy doing his best.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Leigh-Anne Pinnock \u2013 FAITHFUL. Suddenly quite good at this, although that might just be because there are now fewer people for her to have to shout over.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">James Blunt \u2013 FAITHFUL. At this point he is a bloodhound, albeit a bloodhound that seems to have forgotten what blood smells like.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject= The Celebrity Traitors: episode nine \u2013 LIVE&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/tv-and-radio\/live\/2026\/oct\/29\/the-celebrity-traitors-episode-nine-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6ae3a0df8f08924208ba99e0#block-6ae3a0df8f08924208ba99e0\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Hello OG traits, and welcome to The Guardian\u2019s liveblog of The Celebrity Traitors, episode nine. This is it. This is the final week. In just over 24 hours, we will know who won, who lost, who barked up which wrong tree, and who screwed someone else over so badly that it caused a permanent schism in their formerly cordial relationship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">But first, let\u2019s remember where we left things. There was a roundtable on Friday. Either Joanne or Sharon is for the high jump, and it is such a close-run thing that the voting had to go two rounds. Now, obviously it doesn\u2019t really matter if Sharon or Joanne goes, because they\u2019re both faithfuls and that\u2019s the only material issue at this stage of the game, but let\u2019s not allow that to get in the way of a fun cliffhanger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">So strap in, get theorising in the comments and I\u2019ll see you back here at eight o\u2019clock sharp.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject= The Celebrity Traitors: episode nine \u2013 LIVE&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/tv-and-radio\/live\/2026\/oct\/29\/the-celebrity-traitors-episode-nine-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6ae345318f088fb43565699c#block-6ae345318f088fb43565699c\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"And now a word for the fallen.
