BBC viewers have described the latest episode of Celebrity Traitors as ‘absolute cinema’ following a history-making roundtable vote.
Things are heating up inside the Scottish castle as fan favourites continue to be either murdered in the night by traitors or banished by fellow contestants.
At the start of Wednesday night’s episode, viewers learned the fate of Charlotte Church, who was murdered by the trio of traitors – Cat Burns, Alan Carr and Jonathon Ross – in an attempt to bamboozle the group.
The singer became the sixth faithful to exit the series, alongside actor Ruth Codd, comedian Tameka Empson, Clare Balding, Tom Daley and Paloma Faith.
However, following the most dramatic roundtable discussion yet, fans are hailing the latest episode as ‘one for the ages’.
Despite several of the traitor’s names being mentioned throughout the day, including Jonathan who has attracted suspicion in the past, Mark Bonnar and David Olusoga each received the same number of votes at the roundtable voting.
Joe Marler heavily accused Mark of being a traitor because of the way he observed people at Paloma’s funeral and his ‘over the top theatrics’.
Jumping on the bandwagon, Alan also accused the Line of Duty star of being a traitor.
But before their theory could be pushed further, historian David attracted suspicion from the rest of the group, causing an equal split in the number of votes between them.
Could Cat Burns be voted off soon?
As host Claudia Winkelman confirmed that another vote would have to be taken, load groans could be heard throughout the room as everybody turned back to their chalkboards.
Amazingly, both Mark and David received the same number of votes again, with five each.
As the housemates could scarcely believe what they were hearing, some of the contestants started to realise that this had ‘never happened before’.
Claudia confirmed that this was a one-of-a-kind scenario and in Thursday night’s episode we will now learn who will be banished as David and Mark take part in a ‘game of chance’.
While the exact rules of this game have not yet been made clear, taking to social media, fans declared that they ‘never thought’ they would see such a thing take place.
