Fans of Celebrity Traitors have described the fifth episode as the “best episode ever.”
The rountable vote was deadlocked twice for the first time in history, with actor Mark Bonnar and historian David Olusoga both receiving five votes.
The pair will participate in a first-of-its-kind “game of chance” to decide what happens next.
As fans get ready for the sixth episode tonight, here’s all you need to know about the full line-up and who has left the castle.
Who is still in Celebrity Traitors?
Stephen Fry
Stephen Fry is one of the biggest names in UK showbiz: an author, a presenter on the show QI and an actor – among other things. The Sun reported how the star “jumped” at the chance to be on the show, as he is a superfan.
A source said: “Claudia (Winkleman) put Stephen right at the top of celebs she’d want on The Traitors and Stephen has made it clear he’d be game.
“Stephen is a fan of the show and Claudia was desperate for him to be in it.
Stephen Fry had previously admitted that he wanted to be a Faithful because actors were "terrible liars".
Alan Carr
The chatty man himself has never taken part in a reality TV show before – but that all changed when he entered the castle.
“Bosses are thrilled at the kind of scenes that could play out as he grapples with the more sensible names on the line-up as well as him giggling away with pals,” a source told the Sun when his name was announced.
Indeed, he’s certainly played up to the part well. As a sneaky Traitor, Alan Carr has kept viewers entertained with his sly yet also hilarious castle antics.
Joe Marler
Joe Marler is one of English rugby’s most famous names: he won the Six Nations three times with England. And according to insiders, he’s also keen to prove that he’s more than a sportsperson.
Nick Mohammed
Eagle-eyed viewers will recognise former magician Mohammed from the Apple TV show Ted Lasso, where he played Nate Shelley.
David Olusoga
Olusoga is a historian and TV presenter, who has fronted countless documentaries and written tens of history books. In 2019, he was awarded an OBE – and most recently, he worked on Disney+ show A Thousand Blows as an executive producer and historical advisor.
Mark Bonnar
Mark Bonnar played DCC Mike Dryden in the hit BBC show Line of Duty – as well as making appearances in Shetland and Guilt.
Jonathan Ross
An ITV talk show host and broadcaster, this is Ross’s first return to the BBC in 14 years after he stepped down from his Radio 2 show.
He was also one of the three Traitors selected by Claudia.
Cat Burns
One of three musicians on the show – Burns is a Brit Award nominated singer and Traitors super-fan, who often posts about it on TikTok.
She was the third person to be selected as a Traitor in episode one.
Celia Imrie
Another surprise signing: Imrie, of course, has appeared in countless TV shows and films throughout the years, including Bridget Jones’s Diary, Mamma Mia and Calendar Girls.
Kate Garraway
Good Morning Britain host Garraway has had a very tough few years. In 2024, she appeared in a documentary about her husband, Derek Draper, who suffered from long Covid. Garraway was his carer until he died last year.
Lucy Beaumont
Lucy Beaumont is another comedian. Previously married to Jon Richardson – with whom she appeared in several shows – she’s now striking out solo.
Joe Wilkinson
Joe Wilkinson is a veteran of the British comedy circuit. He’s appeared on 8 Out of 10 Cats, Have I Got News for You and Prime Video series Last One Laughing – and also happens to be friends with Paul Gorton, one of the Traitors from season two.
Who has been killed or voted out?
Ruth Codd
Ruth Codd is an Irish actor who first broke through as Anya in the Netflix thriller The Midnight Club, back in 2022. She worked as a make up artist and barber before becoming a TikTok star, and she’ll be making her film this summer in the live-action remake of How To Train Your Dragon.
She was murdered by the Traitors after pointing the finger at Jonathan Ross, who took her out in a “double triple bluff”.
Who has been killed or voted out?
Paloma Faith
Pop star Paloma Faith was the first Faithful murdered by the Traitors. She left the castle after Traitor Alan Carr decided to murder her.
Like many other cast members, she’s never appeared on reality TV before, but she quickly became a fan favourite during her brief stint.
Clare Balding
Another person who’s taking the reality TV plunge: BBC sports presenter Clare Balding turned down all other offers before this one.
The third roundtable saw her banished in Episode 4. She received seven votes from the other contestants.
Tameka Empson
Empson is best known for playing Kim Fox in the soap EastEnders.
But she was also the second Faithful banished from the house following a round table, receiving four votes.
Speaking about the moment she revealed that she was a Faithful, the actor and comedian said: “I was very emotional. In my mind, I thought, I'm not going out. I was sad to leave the game, because I was really getting to know people.”
Charlotte Church
Classically trained singer Charlotte Church shot to fame as a teenager, before stepping back out of the spotlight to open a wellness retreat in Wales.
She was the fourth murderd star on the show.
Niko Omilana
Beta Squad star and YouTube prankster Niko Omilana ran for Parliament as an independent in last year’s general election – and ran in the London Mayoral Election in 2021, winning 2 per cent of the vote.
But his background as a professional prankster and undercover YouTuber may have been a disadvantage as he became the first star banished from the castle.
“Going in there, I was automatically put under a microscope because of what I do. It’s really tough when people are already suspicious before you've even said a word,” he said about his banishment.
Omilana and Empson both received three votes but Omilana was ultimately sent him as his contestants believed he was the traitor.
Tom Daley
Olympic gold-winning diver Tom Daley was gutted to become the second player murdered on the show.
“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,” he said.
“The castle itself is absolutely huge, and actually going in and having a chance to look around was thrilling; searching for that secret room, wondering which book might open the hidden door, taking in as many of the details as possible.”
