Mr Ranganathan invited his fellow winner onto his BBC Radio 2 show this morning to discuss the outcome of the nail-biting Celebrity Traitors finale.<\/p>\n
When asked how he feels about their victory, Mr Croft said: “I’m so happy to be here with you. It\u2019s so nice to talk about it.<\/p>\n
“I woke up with a light sense that I don\u2019t have to keep the secret anymore. It\u2019s been killing me.”<\/p>\n
Mr Ranganathan agreed that the pair had been “worried”, while Mr Croft recalled feeling paranoid about being seen together in public.<\/p>\n
The Heartstopper actor said: “We met for dinner in central London.<\/p>\n

“We were having dinner and we\u2019re not exactly a likely duo \u2013 and the whole restaurant was like, ‘we like you on Traitors and hope you win\u2019.<\/p>\n
“We were like, \u2018thanks.\u2019”<\/p>\n
“Don\u2019t draw any conclusions from this dinner \u2013 this is just random,” Mr Ranganathan joked.<\/p>\n
Mr Croft also reflected on how it felt to make it to the final alongside traitor Kenny and faithfuls Mr Ranganathan, James Blunt and Leigh-Anne Pinnock.<\/p>\n
“I couldn\u2019t believe that we\u2019d got there. It was just wild,” he said.<\/p>\n
Mr Ranganathan said: “I\u2019m delighted to win.<\/p>\n
“But it\u2019s taken the gloss off it slightly that everybody\u2019s saying, \u2018you better thank (Croft) every day for the rest of your life.'”<\/p>\n
Mr Ranganathan has previously spoken about his “level of contribution to the game”, as he believes he struggled with guessing who the traitors were and knowing who to trust.<\/p>\n
During the final, he wrongly accused Blunt of being a traitor at the firepit, causing the You\u2019re Beautiful singer to vote to banish again, which led to Ranganathan and Croft voting him out.<\/p>\n
Reassuring his fellow winner, Croft said he thought Ranganathan had played the game in a “lovely” way.<\/p>\n
He added: “People are seeing how smart you are and how you\u2019re actually so on it \u2013 and you\u2019re such a good judge of character.<\/p>\n
“I really think you played a great game.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Celebrity Traitors winners Romesh Ranganathan and Sebastian Croft have said they are relieved they no longer have to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":671006,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60],"class_list":["post-671005","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=671005"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671005\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/671006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=671005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=671005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=671005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
