The penultimate episode of Celebrity Traitors is reportedly set to feature a 'huge bombshell' that could change the direction of the series. The episode will finally reveal the results of last week's roundtable, where Sharon Rooney and Joanne McNally face uncertain futures after a split vote.
The Traitors have appeared strong heading into the final stretch, after Maya Jama, King Kenny and James Acaster were named the most trustworthy by the Faithful during the scarecrow mission. Reports now suggest the episode will end with a revelation described as altering the course of the series ahead of Friday's finale.
Unpredictable turn of events
A source told The Sun that viewers may have thought they could predict where the series was heading, but 'there's another sensational turn of events'. They added: 'It's one which no one is likely to see coming — the producers of the show certainly didn't predict it.'
The source continued: 'The likes of this has never been seen on the show before, and may never be seen again. It all adds up to make the semi-final an absolutely unmissable episode and the perfect lead into the finale on Friday.'
The publication has not disclosed the exact nature of the bombshell, citing a desire to avoid spoilers for BBC viewers ahead of the episode.
Fan concerns over Trustworthy Trio
Earlier, viewers expressed fears that the three Traitors being nominated as trustworthy by fellow contestants might have set them up for failure. On X, @morris_movies questioned what would happen when the three most trusted players, all unshielded, walked back into Breakfast un-murdered, suggesting the only logical reason would be that they are all Traitors.
The concern echoes earlier events, as Julie Hesmondhalgh and Joe Lycett were deemed most trustworthy in episode one, which later became a factor in their banishments.
Celebrity Traitors returns tonight at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer. Metro has contacted the BBC for comment.
