Celebrity Traitors 2026: Next episode, full schedule, cast and favourites to win
Coming off the back of the banishment of the Lord of Chaos, Richard E Grant, we were geared up for murder tonight (9 October).
And The Celebrity Traitors episode four opened with the reveal that Bella Ramsey was the chosen one for Maya Jama, James Acaster and Hannah Fry - even though some viewers think it was a mistake.
Following the shock of that, the celebrities were served an absolute shocker as the cabin in the woods returned for a gag-worthy mission. Poor Miranda Hart ended up vomiting it was that gross while the others struggled their way through.
But while the task may have gone successfully for the Faithful, the Round Table didn't exactly prove to be a win. That's as despite the strong suspicions around Fry, they ended up banishing Julie Hesmondhalgh - marking two Faithfuls in a row after Myha'la.

As far as we know, there won't be any secret late additions to the show, even if we're all still wishing that David Mitchell would agree to go on, but there's sure to be lots of twists and turns in October, especially if we get another secret traitor as we did with Fiona in season four of the non-celebrity version.
Where is Celebrity Traitors season 2 filmed?
Ardross Castle will be once again be the home for the celebrity traitors in the Scottish highlands, but as you might guess, they don't actually sleep in the castle at night.
Although we get the cut scenes of the celebrities doing a nighttime puzzle or reading a book in bed, they're actually staying in a hotel close to the airport in Inverness.
That's why we get the scenes in the morning where they are driven in by car, with the identities of those inside kept secret until they walk into breakfast, and the BBC production team even swap the orders around so that while we might think that they could deduce who the faithfuls are, the reality is certainly not that simple.
The Celebrity Traitors continues next Thursday on BBC One and BBC iPlayer
