Singer Cat Burns has opened up about the 'really important' personal realisation she gained from appearing on Celebrity Traitors, following her dramatic murder of comedian Lucy Beaumont in the castle.
Speaking exclusively to Metro at her album signing, the 24-year-old reflected on how viewers' reactions to her openness about being neurodivergent made her recognise the significance of speaking out. 'Especially since the show coming out, and with people thanking my vulnerability, I didn't realise how important it was,' she said.
Burns, who has autism and ADHD, noted that her privileged position as a self-employed artist allows her to discuss her neurodiversity freely, unlike others in corporate environments. She hopes her advocacy will help reduce the stigma surrounding neurodivergence.
The singer also addressed the tense moment in last week's episode when she had to murder fellow faithful Lucy Beaumont. Despite Lucy's angry reaction—'I am not happy with you at all'—Burns confirmed their friendship survived the game. 'We were really close, we got on really, really well,' she said, adding that lying to Lucy was the hardest part.
Burns also praised her fellow traitor Alan Carr, with whom she has formed a strong bond both on and off screen. She expressed hope that his chat show Chatty Man would return, calling him 'just really funny.'
The final of Celebrity Traitors airs tonight at 9pm on BBC One.
