“Celia Imrie winning a Bafta for best ‘on-screen fart’ was not something I was expecting this year,” joked one fan.
“That’s it, the TV moment of the year. Give her all the Baftas. Nothing is topping it,” added another.
One added: “Celia Imrie farting on Celebrity Traitors has to be one of the highlights of the TV year; Sorry but howling at Celia letting out a nervous fart”.
Away from Imrie breaking wind, the action-packed episode featured a murder and two banishments.
YouTube star Niko Omilana, known for his online prank videos, and EastEnders actress Tameka Empson were both voted out at separate roundtable discussions, following suspicions that they could be traitors.
Both stars revealed they had been faithfuls following their banishments, with Omilana, 27, telling his fellow players: “(I) can't believe I'm out so quickly.”
Plotting in their turret, the traitors - presenter Jonathan Ross, comedian Alan Carr and singer Cat Burns - decided on their next murder victim and settled on killing retired Olympic diver Tom Daley.
The celebrities realised he had been murdered after the athlete failed to make it to breakfast.
Speaking about reactions to his death, Carr, 49, said: “It was just the kind of impact I wanted, people couldn't believe it, 'Where's Tom? Why Tom?' Well he's been murdered. Deal with it.”
It comes after Carr murdered Never Tear Us Apart singer Paloma Faith in plain sight by touching her face after rubbing his hands on a poisoned lily.
Following his exit, Daley, 31, said: “I'm a little disappointed that I'm out a bit early but, at the same time, it was so much fun to be able to get a little bit of a glimpse into the Traitors world.”
The episode ended with the traitors deciding if their next victim should be Welsh singer Charlotte Church, Irish actress Ruth Codd or historian David Olusoga .
