Joe Lycett Banished on Celebrity Traitors After Major Slip-Up at Round Table

Joe Lycett has become the latest celebrity to be banished from the castle on Celebrity Traitors after a critical verbal slip-up during a dramatic round table session.

The hit television show delivered another eventful instalment filled with tension, missions, and rising suspicion among the remaining famous contestants.

Following King Kenny’s recruitment by the secret saboteurs the previous night, the Faithfuls expressed surprise when everyone walked into breakfast together.

Suspicion immediately targeted Joe Lycett, who had previously expressed a strong desire to join the sinister side after Hannah Fry was ousted.

Meanwhile, Joanne McNally attracted unwanted attention following a previous error, and James Blunt faced scrutiny over past failed theories.

The group then headed out for a mission divided into two teams, answering questions about their fellow contestants to build up the collective prize fund.

The Red Team, featuring secret Traitors Maya Jama and James Acaster, secured victory and added more money to the pot, while also earning Maya a protective Shield for the evening.

With widespread uncertainty regarding the identities of the remaining saboteurs, the round table descended into chaos as accusations flew.

Kenny and James Acaster both targeted Joe, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock voiced her suspicions about Ross Kemp.

Attention soon turned toward Joanne due to her erratic voting history and a previous faux-pas.

During a tense exchange, James Blunt questioned Joe, prompting the comedian to make a fatal error by implying that the Traitors would recruit again if he were banished.

That revealing comment triggered an almost clean-sweep of votes against him, leading to his departure from the castle.

Joe's exit left remaining contestants visibly shaken, with heads in hands around the round table and a sombre atmosphere at the bar.

Miranda Hart became tearful, expressing her sadness to James Acaster over losing the laughter and joy Joe brought to the group.

However, the game pressed on as the secret saboteurs received instructions to execute a murder in plain sight.

They were tasked with using a special bottle of deadly powder hidden in the library to bore their victim to death by making them yawn.

Kenny secured the bottle and sprayed the substance, setting the stage for Maya and James to lure Ross Kemp and Jerry Hall into the room and attempt to trigger a yawn.

The episode ultimately concluded on an intense cliff-hanger as both potential targets looked tired right before the clock struck midnight.

Viewers must now wait until Thursday to discover the outcome of the murder attempt and see which contestant fell victim to the latest twist.
