What's happened so far in The Celebrity Traitors? [SPOILERS]

Episode 1

Claudia gathered everyone at the Round Table for the moment of truth: picking her three traitors. Claudia surreptitiously stopped behind a blindfolded Jonathan Ross, singer-songwriter Cat Burns, and – giving the audience just what they wanted – comedian Alan Carr, tapping each of them as a fellow “Traitor”. Alan as a cold-blooded killer? It’s the TV gift that keeps on giving. “I have a sweating problem and can’t keep a secret,” he lamented. But his good humour and innate likeability could help him remain undetected.

There was no murder on night one. But Jonathan, Cat, and Alan arrived at the turret under the cover of darkness to meet their fellow “Traitors” to much shared glee, only curbed when Claudia arrived and informed them they’d make their first kill tomorrow – in plain sight!

The next day saw the contestants embark on their first task: hauling a huge Trojan Horse up a long incline where, along the way, they had to solve a puzzle or sacrifice one of their shields to proceed through each wooden gate. The goal? Get the heavy edifice to the fire pit, set it ablaze, and secure their first £15,000 for charity.

Clare Balding made a rookie error, drawing suspicion she was sabotaging the group by locking in an answer before Stephen and Nick could figure out how many people had died in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet combined. Consequently, Charlotte Church sacrificed her shield so as not to waste any more time – a selfless gesture, though one that raised eyebrows in some quarters.

Mission successfully accomplished, it was back to the castle for drinks and Alan’s squirm-inducing attempt to murder one of his pals in plain sight. It was a nerve-wracking assignment. He had to run his hands over the black lily in the packed castle bar, before touching his victim’s face without the action drawing attention. Jonathan managed to hustle some of his fellow contestants out of the bar. But would a visibly nervous Alan be able to pull off his first kill?

Episode 2

Well, yes. It turns out the cheeky comedian is pretty ruthless when it comes down to it. "I feel awful" he told fellow "Traitors" Jonathan and Cat in the turret. "I've gone and murdered one of my best friends!" Yes, boys and girls, a panicked Alan smeared the deadly poison on English pop star Paloma Faith (boo! hiss!)

Everyone was surprised (except our three cold-blooded killers) to see every single contestant arrive for breakfast. But, as Claudia explained, one of them was a dead "Faithful" walking, as the slow-acting poison wouldn't take effect until later in the day. So, over tea and toast, they speculated on who they didn't trust, and Kate Garraway – whose reactions seemed over the top and put on – was a name on many people's lips, especially Tom Daley.

So, who'd been killed first? We found out in typically dramatic, Traitors fashion. Dressed in black and following a carriage loaded with three coffins, the celebrities formed a funeral procession to the cemetery. Once there, the group were provided one initial clue as to which three contestants the "Traitors" had chosen to be placed in a coffin (one of who they'd killed) with additional clues and wrong answers deducted from the prize fund.

After nervous deliberation, Niko, Lucy Beaumont, and finally, Paloma, were picked to lay down in one of the wooden boxes. And, to pretty much everyone's shock (the majority thought Lucy was a goner), Claudia coldly stated, "Paloma is dead" and slammed her coffin lid down. No one would have thought Alan capable of killing his BFF. Yet Clare Balding's spidey senses were tingling. If he was a "Traitor", she mused, doing so would be a brilliant bit of misdirection.

Led by emotion and "gut instinct", though some were convinced their conclusions were based on reason, accusations were bandied over the Round Table. Stephen Fry set the tone, and shone the spotlight on YouTuber Niko. Tom and Tameka continued to have their suspicions about Kate, though neither Tameka and Tom escaped scrutiny themselves.

Episode 3

After an interminable wait of a week, we finally discovered who was the first person to be banished from Ardross Castle. Social media star Niko Omilana got the lion's share of the votes, and Clare Balding in particular was especially vexed when he revealed that they'd just expelled a faithful. Subsequently, Claudia rubbed salt in the wound by announcing the "Traitors" would strike again that night.

In the Traitor's Turret, Alan was having a blast playing the villain. "They need their wings clipped" he declared, as they planned their next kill. Clare was on their hit list, given she felt Jonathan had reneged on his promise to be an ally to Niko. But it was Tom Daley who didn't bound down to breakfast the next morning, shocking the assembled celebs and especially infuriating Clare. Both she and Ruth has their hunches that Alan and Jonathan could very well be "Traitors".

Later, everyone was driven into the woods for their next money-making challenge, before being led by ominous figures in gold masks to a derelict-looking cabin. There they were locked up and tasked with finding keys scattered around the premises, winning money as each person was set free.

Evidently, the tension was too much for Celie Imrie, who broke wind while Claudia sombrely provided the rules of the game, providing a lot of levity and even making headlines. After solving puzzles to retrieve all 16 keys, each contestant emerged from the cabin, meaning that they'd banked the full amount of prize money for charity. Clare and Mark were even lucky enough to find a shield granting them immunity from the "Traitors" next murder.

Not much later, they were casting accusations around the Round Table. And Ruth went at Jonathan like a dog with a bone, wondering why he'd promised to protect Niko one minute and voted for him to be banished the next. Jonathan deflected masterfully, though admitted later to feeling increasingly panicked as his name repeatedly got brough up, while Alan also faced Clare's theory that he could easily have killed Paloma and fly under the radar as one of her best friends. Yet Mark had become hyper-focused on Tameka's so called "change of behavior," and she ended up getting the majority of the votes.

So, Tameka became the second person to be incorrectly cast out. The "Faithful" were bereft, and the "Traitors" quietly relieved not to have been caught out. So their murderous rampage continues tonight, as we find out who was too much of a risk to let live: Ruth, David Olusoga, or Charlotte?

Who Has Been Murdered In The Celebrity Traitors So Far?

The first death was Paloma Faith, who Alan killed during a "murder in plain sight." Tom Daley was the second contestant to fall foul of the "Traitors", followed by Ruth Codd as part of a daring double bluff. The opinionated Charlotte Church went next, while the wily Joe Wilkinson was the fifth "Faithful" to be bumped off. Lucy Beaumont was brutally axed from the show as her murderers did the deed face-to-face, before Alan's subsequent assassination of Celia Imrie (who adored Alan but had come to suspect him).

Who Has Been Banished In The Celebrity Traitors So Far?

YouTuber Niko Omilana, comedian Tameka Empson, and broadcaster Clare Balding were incorrectly outed as "Traitors" and banished from Ardross Castle. Mark Bonnar was sent home following a rare "Banishment by Chance", following a split vote between him and David, before the "Faithful" - continuing a woeful losing streak - banished national treasure Stephen Fry. But the tide turned in their favor when they finally identified their first "Traitor", TV presenter Jonathan Ross, in the show's seventh episode. His exit was followed by Kate Garraway, another "Faithful" wrongly exiled from the castle.
