The winners of Celebrity Traitors have said they are relieved that they no longer need to keep the biggest secret in British TV, as they reunited to celebrate their victory.<\/p>\n
Actor Sebastian Croft and comedian Romesh Ranganathan were the last ones standing, with the two faithfuls splitting the \u00a383,000 prize pot between their chosen charities.<\/p>\n
“I am feeling good, it’s so nice to finally be able to talk about it properly,” Croft, known to pals as Bash, told BBC Newsbeat.<\/p>\n
The second series of the hit BBC One show finished on Friday, after the original 21 celebs were whittled down to seven finalists.<\/p>\n
Reuniting with Ranganathan on the comedian’s BBC Radio 2 show on Saturday morning, Croft said they had been worried about being seen together in public before the final.<\/p>\n
“We were having dinner and we’re not exactly a likely duo and the whole restaurant was like, ‘we like you on Traitors and hope you win’,” he said.<\/p>\n
Croft added that he had woken up on Saturday “with a light sense that I don’t have to keep the secret anymore. It’s been killing me”.<\/p>\n
Ranganathan, 48, started his show by saying: “Last night, I don’t know if you’re aware, was the finale of The Celebrity Traitors and I won.”<\/p>\n
He said he was “delighted to win” but admitted he probably wouldn’t have done so without Croft convincing him to banish the last remaining traitor, King Kenny.<\/p>\n
“It’s taken the gloss off it slightly that everybody’s saying, ‘you better thank [Croft] every day for the rest of your life’,” he added, with his typical deadpan-humour.<\/p>\n
But 24-year-old Croft said he thought Ranganathan had played the game in a “lovely” way.<\/p>\n
“People are seeing how smart you are and how you’re actually so on it, and you’re such a good judge of character,” he praised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The winners of Celebrity Traitors have said they are relieved that they no longer need to keep the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":820062,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-820061","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\/820061","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=820061"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/820061\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/820062"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=820061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=820061"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=820061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
