The Celebrity Traitors is continuing a now-infamous show tradition, with the misspelling of names resurfacing in spectacular fashion.<\/p>\n

For three gripping series, we’ve watched as contestants write the most bizarre variations of their peers’ names during the round table vote \u2013 sometimes in disbelief, but always in awe over what we’re seeing on those slates week after week.<\/p>\n

We know that sometimes getting it wrong can’t be helped, but it’s hard not to be distracted by some of the wilder examples.<\/p>\n

What to Read Next<\/p>\n

So, as the latest iconic blunder played out, we’re looking back at the most memorable, baffling and downright funny misspelling mishaps through the archives.<\/p>\n

“Tom Daylee” \u2013 by Niko \"niko,<\/p>\n

BBC<\/p>\n

Did Niko deliberately deviate from the correct version, which is of course Tom Daley, in order to continue the running gag?<\/p>\n

Whether it was a genuine mistake or a cheeky nod to previous ones, Niko’s decision certainly made an impact and made the round table slightly less tense!<\/p>\n

“Charlot” \u2013 by Harry, series 2\"harry,<\/p>\n

BBC<\/p>\n

An early entry from Traitor and champion Harry, and a unique alternate spelling. As a dyslexic, he of course gets a free pass, but we couldn’t help but smile at the unintended effect.<\/p>\n

“Nather” \u2013 by Keith, series 3\"keith,<\/p>\n

BBC<\/p>\n

Nathan’s name had quite the revamp and the visual effect was quite something, making this misspelling particularly unforgettable.<\/p>\n

“Lianne” \u2013 by Dan, series 3\"dan,<\/p>\n

BBC<\/p>\n

Again, it\u2019s not totally wild as an alternative \u2013 Leanne only lost one of her actual vowels and gained another \u2013 but we did have to wonder where it came from.<\/p>\n

“Armania” \u2013 by Jake, series 3\"jake,<\/p>\n

BBC<\/p>\n

Adding an extra letter to a name that looks exactly like it sounds was an interesting choice. However, these things happen \u2013 and we welcomed the entertainment. Definitely one of the more impressive entries.<\/p>\n

“Mina” \u2013 by Alexander, series 3\"alexander,<\/p>\n

BBC<\/p>\n

Traitor Minah \u2013 who by this point had no more flying ones to give \u2013 called out Alexander herself for leaving the ‘h’ out and to his credit he looked aghast. Because this was just one of many times her name had graced the boards with the incorrect spelling\u2026<\/p>\n

“Meina” \u2013 by Anna, series 3\"anna,<\/p>\n

BBC<\/p>\n

With her confused reaction as she surveyed Anna\u2019s slate, Minah looked more bothered by the misspelling than by being correctly sussed out. Maybe it\u2019s time for The Traitors to invest in some name badges?<\/p>\n

The Celebrity Traitors is on BBC1 Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9pm and on BBC iPlayer.<\/p>\n
