Mark Bonnar Banished; Stephen Fry Murdered

In the latest episode of BBC’s Celebrity Traitors, host Claudia Winkleman resolved a first-ever tied round‑table by using the show’s “Chest of Chance,” resulting in Mark Bonnar’s banishment and historian David Olusoga being revealed as a faithful. The episode followed the on‑screen ‘murder’ of Sir Stephen Fry, which was mourned by faithful contestants and seen by some as a turning point in the game. The trio of secret Traitors — reported to be Alan Carr, Jonathan Ross and Cat Burns — remained undetected after the departures, prompting viewer frustration. The series has drawn more than ten million viewers and set a record for the most faithfuls leaving the castle without successfully banishing a Traitor. Off‑screen claims of an unaired clash between Fry and Olusoga and ongoing podcasts and pundit commentary have continued to fuel discussion around strategy and production choices.
