Celebrity Traitors fans have hailed the decision by the Traitors to recruit content creator King Kenny as a "genius" move, after another two contestants were banished and murdered on Thursday night.
Kenny became the latest star to join the Traitors gang, recruited by Maya Jama and James Acaster, after former recruit Rachel Fry was successfully banished by the Faithfuls.
Fans react to Kenny's recruitment
Fans of the popular BBC reality show raced to social media to declare it a good decision from the Traitors. On X, formerly Twitter, @PhilipMur3 wrote: "I agree that Kenny was a good choice, i think he will do well as a Traitor".
@LewisMac_ said: "Kenny has a strong chance of being trusted to the end now after going after Hannah for so long before being recruited", and @SeaThundr added: "Recruiting Kenny is a genius move, theoretically, Johanne, Joe, Ross and James Blunt will go in the next round tables. I love this show so much".
@WoWnut said: "Absolutely the right move to recruit Kenny. No brainer.", and @Ambraneri added: "Recruiting Kenny was top-tier traitoring".

@goodfrmyheart said: "kenny is the best recruitment i love that reaction", and @_CH12_ said: "Yessss, recruiting Kenny, they made the best decision there".
Elsewhere on Thursday night, comedian Rob Beckett was murdered by the Traitors and Joanne McNally misspoke during the round table which led to fingers pointed in her direction.
Who has left so far
Stars who have already left the show include actor Richard E Grant who was made a Traitor and was first to be banished, journalist and broadcaster Amol Rajan who was murdered by the Traitors, actor Bella Ramsay who was murdered, and American singer Myha’la and actor Julie Hesmondhalgh who were also banished.
The second series follows the same premise as the first. A group of 21 celebrity contestants – the majority of whom are known as Faithfuls – must try to seek out the murderous traitors among them, who kill off players in the middle of the night. Stars compete to win a cash prize of up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.
Claudia Winkleman is back as host of the show, guiding the stars through deceitful challenges. The Celebrity Traitors airs on BBC and iPlayer at 8pm on Thursday and Friday evenings.
