Miranda Hart's time on The Celebrity Traitors may be coming to an end, as fans believe her latest move has sealed her fate in the castle. The 53-year-old comedian, playing as a Faithful on Claudia Winkleman's BBC show, has made it more than halfway through the series, but Thursday night's episode left viewers convinced she is on thin ice.
Bouncy Floorboard Theory Backfires
During the latest instalment, Miranda suspected fellow comedian and Faithful Joanne McNally of being a Traitor. The suspicion arose after Miranda noticed how the floorboards moved around Joanne during a blindfolded mission, prompting her to test her "bouncy floorboard" theory.
Miranda directly questioned Joanne about it, while Maya Jama reportedly became "stressed" over the situation after James Blunt informed her of the suspicions circulating. Joanne quickly dismissed Miranda's theory, but fans were frustrated that the former sitcom star had seemingly gone in the wrong direction.
Close to Catching a Traitor
Viewers believe Miranda was actually very close to catching Maya, who is a Traitor, had she pursued her questioning further. The misstep has led fans to predict that Joanne will now think Miranda is a Traitor, persuade the others, and have her banished from the castle.
One fan reacted: "Miranda is going to go after Joanne and Joanne is probably going to get out and then Miranda will know it’s Maya and the traitors will kill her I FEEL SICK!!! LEAVE HER ALONE!!!"
Fans Predict Miranda's Fate
Another viewer wrote: "If this is the end of the road for Miranda then that’s me done for the rest of this season." A third added: "Miranda is losing her edge, she was so close. All she had to do was ask James B if he heard anything from Joanne side and it would've pointed to Maya."
The comment continued: "The traitors are succeeding because the faithful are overestimating them. Sheen is close and is killed next."
