Celebrity Traitors fans have been fixated on an odd detail involving Joanne McNally before the fiery round table in Friday's episode, which ended on yet another major cliffhanger.
With Sharon Rooney and Joanne McNally's future in the castle set to be revealed on next Thursday night's show, viewers couldn't shake off one detail before the explosive scene at the table. During the round table, the group struggled to reach a conclusion on who they wanted to banish, with a split decision forcing a second vote between Sharon and Joanne. Both faithfuls had to make a desperate plea to keep their positions in the game, with the episode ending on a cliffhanger – will Kenny use his double blade on Sharon or Joanne?
Fans Notice Nail Colour Change
Before the round table, many fans noticed one detail about Joanne. In a Facebook post, one person asked: "Anyone notice in tonight's episode, before the round table when Joanne was talking to Bash and Romesh her nails had changed to turquoise, but at the round table back to lime green. This may mean nothing at all, cannot get my head around it, but it is odd."
Many other viewers also clocked the detail. One wondered: "It could be the lighting? Maybe," while another added: "I think this is why she was so rubbish at the scarecrow task for fear of breaking her nails, maybe she had fixed them afterwards." A third joked: "Everyone's a sleuth."
Reddit Theories and a Simple Explanation
People also clocked the detail on Reddit, where viewers wondered whether some scenes may have been filmed after – or if Joanne popped out for a manicure mid-season. But while everyone was spiralling over the detail, one person offered a simple explanation to the nail theory.
They wrote: "It's called grading. All footage is graded in the edit suite to make lighting consistent. Sometimes if the lighting is off, some yellow will be taken out or blue added, and that can alter the colour of something as bright as Joanne's nails without it visibly altering anything else. I noticed it too but I used to work in TV so realised what had happened."
The Celebrity Traitors continues Thursday (October 29) on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 8pm.
