King Kenny has said he and his Celebrity Traitors co-star Maya Jama “laugh” at rumours that they are in a relationship.
Kenny, whose full name is Kenny Ojuederie, was recruited as a traitor by Jama and comedian James Acaster, following the banishment of Hannah Fry in the recent series that concluded last week.
He made it to the final four before being voted out at the fire pit.
Jama was also a traitor on this year's series of the BBC show, and was eliminated at the last roundtable.
During an appearance on Capital XTRA Breakfast, Kenny was asked by co-host Robert Bruce: “They (paparazzi) are all taking pictures of you and Maya (Jama), you and Maya… What’s going on?! Why are they doing that to you?”
Kenny replied: “I don’t know, man.”
Bruce pushed further, asking: “Do you guys talk about that kind of stuff? Like, ‘aw look what they’re doing.’ What’s it like for you guys?”
Dismissing the rumours, Kenny replied: “Uh, yeah, we just laugh at it, to be honest. That’s just what happens, innit, when you’re in the limelight? You’ve just got to laugh at it and move on.”
The series was won by actor Sebastian Croft and comedian Romesh Ranganathan, who were both faithfuls. They will split the £83,000 prize pot.
Heartstopper actor Croft is donating his £41,500 share to the charity Choose Love, while Ranganathan said he would be giving his winnings to the Refugee Council.
The finale attracted its highest average overnight audience yet, with 11.2 million viewers tuning in.
The episode also recorded a peak audience of 11.6 million on BBC One, which is the highest of the series, alongside a 62.9% audience share, according to the BBC.
It became the most-watched episode of the celebrity spin-off to date, drawing a higher average audience than last year's finale – which attracted 11.1 million viewers overnight.
