Celebrity Traitors 2026 winners revealed after finale

Romesh Ranganathan and Sebastian "Bash" Croft have been crowned winners of Celebrity Traitors series two, taking home a share of £83,000 for their chosen charities after the nail-biting finale aired on Friday, October 30.

The BBC show, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, saw Welsh actor Michael Sheen revealed as the final celebrity to be murdered by Traitors Maya Jama and King Kenny.

Final episode twists

After discovering his fate, Michael said: "The time has come, can't say I'm surprised, but I am incredibly disappointed, gutted that I got so close to the end. It's been absolutely unforgettable, and I've loved every minute."

Following a tense round table, Love Island presenter Maya received the most votes from her co-stars and became the last contestant to be banished from the castle. After being banished, Maya said: "Thank you, alright, love you all, good luck, you're going to need it."

End game showdown

Traitor Kenny and four remaining Faithfuls—James Blunt, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Romesh and Sebastian—made it through to the dramatic end game. During the final showdown, Leigh-Anne, James and Kenny were all banished.

All five celebrities decided there was still a Traitor in the group, and Little Mix's Leigh-Anne received the most votes and was banished. The remaining contestants voted again, and this time pop star James was sent packing, leaving just three contestants—two Faithful and one Traitor.

The third vote went down to deadlock, with both Kenny and James receiving two votes each. Romesh and Sebastian got the chance to confer and decided to banish James after some deliberation.

Series one comparison

Romesh and Sebastian follow in the footsteps of Alan Carr, who won the first series last year. Playing as a Traitor, the comedian successfully deceived the last remaining Faithfuls—Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga—to take home the entire prize pot alone.

Alan secured £87,500 for Neuroblastoma UK, a children's cancer charity for which he serves as a long-term patron. The series one finale became the most-watched UK television broadcast of 2025, peaking at 12 million live viewers, and earned Alan a National Television Award for Special Recognition and a BAFTA.
