Who was murdered in plain sight? Victim of Traitors’ ‘yawn’ murder revealed

  • Ross Kemp was the first faithful to be murdered in plain sight on this season of The Celebrity Traitors after falling victim to a trap set by Traitors Maya Jama and James Acaster.
  • The pair repeatedly yawned and complained about being tired in a bid to make their targets yawn. Kemp eventually succumbed, after which Acaster asked: “Sorry Ross, am I boring you?”
  • Discovering his fate in the diary room, the former EastEnders star quoted Shakespeare’s Hamlet, saying: “To thine own self be true!” He added that he had remained true to himself and the Faithful.
  • Kemp then sent a warning to the Traitors: “Well played traitors, but you’re always going to be traitors… and I know where you live!”
  • Jama later admitted she had loved Kemp as Grant Mitchell growing up, telling the diary room: “You just fell into the worst trap ever and I’m so sorry.”
