Celebrity Traitors viewers have praised the Traitors for choosing a 'perfect red herring' as the first face-to-face murder was completed. The 19 famous faces arrived at Ardross Castle in Alness, north of Inverness in the Scottish Highlands, marking the beginning of the UK's first Celebrity Traitors.
The first chosen victim was Paloma Faith as the other famous faces watched her coffin lid close in real time. On Wednesday (October 29), viewers were finally shown which Faithful was next to be murdered by the Traitors after losing the most recent mission.
Instead of completing their murder at the turret, the Traitors were tasked with killing their victim face-to-face, as they made their way over to the giant chess board. It was Nick Mohammed, Lucy Beaumont and Kate Garraway who individually stood on the chess board and awaited their fate.
Sadly, Lucy's time was up as she turned to face Jonathan Ross, Alan Carr and Cat Burns - revealing their Traitor status. Upon looking them in the eyes and receiving the letter to say she's been murdered, Lucy said: 'Oh, I hope you feel terrible about yourselves.'
The remaining contestants were seated in the breakfast room ready to see which contestant wouldn't return. Shocked faces appeared as Kate Garraway made her way through the door, and now the heat is on her as the celebrities think she could be a Traitor.
Viewers took to X (formerly known as Twitter), and praised the Traitors for their smart move. @speedqueenie wrote: 'Why would you murder Kate Garraway, everyone suspects her. The perfect red herring' @Caz780477450492 echoed: 'Right decision. Kate is much easier to shove under the bus later' as @itsamy_xo added: 'would have made more sense to kill Kate but I get why they did Lucy bc now it throws Nick’s word out of whack, and makes him less believable and more heat on Kate'.
