Miranda Hart has revealed what she would change about her time on Celebrity Traitors, admitting she would not have voiced her bouncing floor theory or sided with Joanne McNally. The 53-year-old comedian was eliminated by the Traitors last week, days before the series finale.
Traitors Maya Jama, James Acaster and King Kenny chose to remove her from the competition because of her persistent theories. Hart was among the first contestants to notice a change in Professor Hannah Fry's behaviour after Fry was recruited by the Traitors.
No Strategy, Just Instinct
Appearing on Thursday's (October 29) edition of This Morning with Dermot O'Leary and Sian Welby, Hart said she had no plan going into the game. She explained: "I genuinely had no strategy or theory. I just played it how I wanted to play. But looking back, I would not have said the bouncing floor theory and I wouldn't have taken [Joanne McNally's] side. I would have just stepped back a bit."
She added: "I forgot that I might get murdered because I was thinking 'Well, I've got tomorrow to convince Michael and Blunty and Kenny, who I still thought was Faithful, and Sharon, my Faithfuls. I've got tomorrow to convince them, get Joanne onside. Of course, I was murdered.'"
The Bouncing Floor Theory
Hart's theory centred on movement she detected in the floorboards during a blindfold challenge, when the Traitors could remove their blindfolds to sabotage the Faithfuls without being detected. Standing between Traitor Maya and Joanne, Hart sensed the movement and wrongly accused Joanne, which frustrated her fellow Faithful.
Hart later said she had 'debunked' her own theory at the roundtable vote, but her sudden change of opinion raised eyebrows among other players.
Fan Reaction
Viewers were upset by Hart's departure, with one posting: "THEY KILLED MIRANDA NO #TheTraitors #TheCelebrityTraitors," and another writing: "WHY MIRANDA WHY? ! #CelebrityTraitors." One Reddit user praised her, saying: "She was the best faithful of this bunch. The best detective and the best vibes too."
The Celebrity Traitors continues tonight at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
