YouTuber Niko Omilana has become the first celebrity to be banished from Ardross Castle following a tense round table elimination. Last week, Celebrity Traitors<\/a> viewers were left on the edge of their seats when the glamorous team took part in their first round table debate. In the nail-biting episode, the BBC<\/a> cast where evenly split between two unsuspecting Faithfuls to cast out from the castle: journalist Kate Garraway and the 27-year-old content creator.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday night (October 15), the remaining eight stars shared their vote, sealing the star\u2019s fate for good. In his exit speech, the influencer said: \u201cFirst things first, I just want to say I can’t believe I’m out so quickly. But it’s been an honour getting to know every single one of you. You’re great people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Furious with the controversial decision, fans flooded to X – formerly known as Twitter – to share their frustrations online. One user penned: “Niko, they didn’t deserve you” as another agreed: “So upset about Niko wtaf” as a third echoed: “JUSTICE FOR MY BOY NIKO TAKEN TOO SOON.”<\/p>\n

His banishment comes after the cast bid farewell to singer Paloma Faith after Traitor Alan Carr was forced to commit the first murder of the series \u2013 in plain sight. The funnyman was tasked with touching the pollen of a poisoned lily and stroking the face of his first victim.<\/p>\n

Carr\u2019s deadly move caused quite a stir online, with Paloma Faith admitting that even though she has forgiven the TV personality, she \u201cnever forgets\u201d. Meanwhile, fellow Traitor Jonathan Ross recently admitted that he \u201cdidn\u2019t actually enjoy\u201d his time on the BBC<\/a> reality show.<\/p>\n

On his podcast Reel Talk, which he hosts with his daughter Honey, he opened up about his time in the Scottish castle. He revealed that two of his celebrity friends have already been approached to star on the second series of the star-studded show.<\/p>\n

He told listeners: \u201cI know because I\u2019ve had two celebrity friends of mine call me saying, \u2018I\u2019ve been approached, what do you think about it? Is it good to do, is it bad to do?\u2019 So I\u2019m giving them the benefit of my experience… which, as you know, I didn\u2019t actually enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Honey replied: \u201cWell, you said you found it really challenging and really difficult. Obviously, now knowing…\u201d He continued: \u201cI\u2019m a Traitor. I found it really wearing on me. The lying genuinely made me feel increasingly uncomfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Celebrity Traitors continues on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9pm on BBC<\/a> One or catch up on BBC<\/a> iPlayer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"YouTuber Niko Omilana has become the first celebrity to be banished from Ardross Castle following a tense round…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":202942,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[87817,243,80186,87821,87820,49,50,76260,33816,51,47,52,48,87819,87818,87822],"class_list":{"0":"post-202941","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-ardross-castle","9":"tag-bbc","10":"tag-celebrity-traitors","11":"tag-celebrity-traitors-air-time","12":"tag-celebrity-traitors-time-tonight","13":"tag-headlines","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-niko-omilana","16":"tag-stephen-fry","17":"tag-top-news","18":"tag-top-stories","19":"tag-topnews","20":"tag-topstories","21":"tag-what-time-does-celebrity-traitors-start","22":"tag-what-time-is-celeb-traitors-on","23":"tag-what-time-is-celebrity-traitors-on"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=202941"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202941\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/202942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=202941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=202941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=202941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
