Spoiler warning: This article reveals details from the eighth episode of The Celebrity Traitors<\/p>\n
Parting may have been sweet sorrow for young lovers Romeo and Juliet, but when Shakespeare’s famous line is uttered by traitor Alan Carr, it’s more like murderous Macbeth.<\/p>\n
He has struck in plain sight – again – killing off Claudia’s “Queen of the Castle”, Celia Imrie, by quoting the bard while pouring her a goblet of wine at a lavish dinner. <\/p>\n
“Oh honestly, just because I was brave enough to get one traitor out,” Imrie said when she learned her fate, referencing them FINALLY getting rid of Jonathan Ross. <\/p>\n
Imrie’s demise was indeed a sombre moment for all concerned. <\/p>\n
“I love being here, it’s been gorgeous and I’m devastated. I so wanted to stay to the end, but it’s a game,” she said sadly.<\/p>\n
After learning it was Imrie’s last supper, the burly Joe Marler became emotional, saying: “My darling Celia is gone. My heart is broken. I’m sick of this – they are taking out some lovely, lovely people.<\/p>\n
“I’m not having it any more.”<\/p>\n
But as Ed Gamble pointed out in BBC Two’s Celebrity Traitors Uncloaked, Imrie’s demise was ripe for humour as well.<\/p>\n
