- Comedian James Acaster has revealed he avoided reading press coverage or Googling himself following his dramatic exit from Celebrity Traitors, where he outed himself as a traitor prior to being banished at the penultimate roundtable.
- Speaking on the Table Manners podcast, the 41-year-old admitted he is not on social media and felt disconnected from the public reaction, but stated he stood by his decision because he believed it would make good television.
- Acaster acknowledged feeling completely exhausted by the end of his time on the show, while viewers and fellow contestants were left divided and surprised by his unprecedented move.
- Addressing reports that filming was temporarily paused after Acaster became distressed during his final scenes, a BBC spokesperson emphasised that the safety and welfare of all participants is always their highest priority.
- The series was ultimately won by comedian Romesh Ranganathan and actor Sebastian Croft, who split the £83,000 prize money between their chosen charities, Choose Love and the Refugee Council.
