Spoiler warning: This article reveals details from the seventh episode of The Celebrity Traitors<\/p>\n

It was the moment that had us at the edge of our seats.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Ross throwing his two fellow traitors under a bus in a brazen attempt to save himself in the latest episode of The Celebrity Traitors.<\/p>\n

But his efforts backfired – and spectacularly so.<\/p>\n

The other two traitors, Cat Burns and Alan Carr, seemed to pick up on what Ross was up to.<\/p>\n

And at a heated round table, they both brutally turned on him, voting him out. Burns even spelled Jonathan’s name wrong – that’s got to make the betrayal even worse.<\/p>\n

At long last, the Big Dog was no more. The treacherous trio has been broken up. With the most votes, it was Ross’s time to leave the show.<\/p>\n

And leave he did, with what’s being billed online as the most iconic exit speech in Traitors history.<\/p>\n

\"Jonathan<\/p>\n

Jonathan Ross’s exit speech had his fellow players – and fans – watching from behind their hands<\/p>\n

“I’ve got no idea what everyone’s doing wrong. I cannot believe you’ve done it again,” the chat show host said.<\/p>\n

“I cannot believe that I’m standing here for no good reason, so I don’t want to be rude, but you’re idiots,” he went on.<\/p>\n

“I am now, and I have been all through the game completely Faithful…” he said, sparking looks of despair among the other players, before concluding his speech: “…to the traitors.”<\/p>\n

“That was the most ridiculous bow out,” said a visibly shaken Joe Marler.<\/p>\n

And with that, the players erupted into celebration. Finally – the faithful have finally caught a traitor. And not just any traitor.<\/p>\n

The green suit jacket wearing, sunglasses loving, Jonathan Ross is out.<\/p>\n

For entertainment reporter Indigo Stafford, it was another sign of just how “ruthless” the Traitors can be.<\/p>\n

“The traitors’ alliance fell apart! What a dramatic episode,” she said.<\/p>\n

But speaking to the cameras afterwards, Ross was magnanimous in accepting his defeat.<\/p>\n

“I’m kind of relieved and I’m glad Alan went for me as well,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I’m hoping they will stick together and romp off to victory.”<\/p>\n

On the Celebrity Traitors Uncloaked podcast, Ross added that the ideal strategy for a traitor was “don’t be too loud, don’t be too quiet. That’s why Alan and Cat are playing such a brilliant game.”<\/p>\n

Celia Imrie channels her inner PE teacher<\/p>\n

Earlier in the show, another faithful was murdered. This time, it was Lucy Beaumont’s turn, having finished the last episode on the losing chess team.<\/p>\n

The comedian was taken out in style, in a face-to-face killing, back at the giant chess board.<\/p>\n

She looked genuinely shocked when she realised the identities of the three traitors.<\/p>\n

“I’m not happy with you at all,” she tells them. “You played this really, really well.”<\/p>\n

And like everyone else, her first thought when she realised it was Alan Carr under the hood was, “Alan Killed Paloma!!!”<\/p>\n

“Murdering face to face was so harsh, and so raw,” said Carr. “I feel like the Grim Reaper.”<\/p>\n

Kate Garraway, who was also on the losing team, managed to avoid being murdered.<\/p>\n

But she was disappointed at the reaction of her fellow players when she walked into breakfast the following morning.<\/p>\n

“Nobody’s pleased to see me,” said the TV presenter. “Why does nobody trust me?”<\/p>\n

Joe Marler was quick to explain that her problem is, she doesn’t come with a lot of theories, which Garraway didn’t dispute.<\/p>\n

“I’m so useless, I can’t bear it,” she said.<\/p>\n

\"Alan<\/p>\n

Alan Carr made no attempt to hide his fears as he edged over a narrow bridge<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, it was the Alan Carr show again, as the comedian walked along a rickety bridge over a river during the latest challenge, shrieking as he did so.<\/p>\n

“You’re doing so well,” Garraway said, in an attempt to encourage him, to which he replied: “Shut up.”<\/p>\n

“I felt I was at sports day with the kids. Like a loving, overbearing mother, I was putting him off,” Garraway noted to the cameras.<\/p>\n

But Carr emerged victorious, and as he did so, he uttered the immortal words: “God my testicles. I feel like a winner and a eunuch.”<\/p>\n

The Celebrity Traitors is on BBC One on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 21:00 BST and on BBC iPlayer. There will be nine episodes.<\/p>\n
