And with this murder, there&#8217;s no answer, and they won&#8217;t suspect it&#8217;s us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">More accurately, he should perhaps have said: &#8220;They won&#8217;t suspect me or Maya,&#8221; given only two-thirds of this tactic worked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Meanwhile, the task for this episode made some of the celebrities quite jumpy. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">This was despite it not involving being buried alive, drinking stinky water or diving down an old toilet, all of which wouldn&#8217;t have been out of place on I&#8217;m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">This episode&#8217;s death parade saw them having to solve puzzles to avoid being seized and held captive by guards looking like Skeletor, from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;That is genuinely terrifying,&#8221; said Pinnock as the marchers approached them on the edge of a forest. &#8220;We are literally in a horror film.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Michael Sheen took each puzzle as an opportunity to flex his acting muscles, using his finest Shakespearean actor&#8217;s voice to bellow out the instructions to everyone else. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">He should have grabbed one of the death marchers to do a quick burst of Hamlet. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The celebrities were victorious though, winning all the prize money for charity, and the task ended with Kemp and James Blunt using flints to spark a flame, igniting some gunpowder to hold the death marchers at bay. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">At the end of the task, players captured by the death marchers were held in a cage until the round table. This included all three traitors &#8211; Hannah Fry, Maya Jama and James Acaster &#8211; as well as Ranganathan, Jerry Hall and McNally<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Oops, bad move. This left a traitor-free zone at the castle, where theories could fly without the traitors trying to derail them. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Comic James Acaster, possibly the most reluctant traitor in recent memory, accurately called killing off Beckett a &#8220;chaos&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":804012,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-804011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804011","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=804011"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804011\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/804012"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=804011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=804011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=804011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
