Celebrity Traitors is set to be rocked by a 'sensational bombshell' which will 'alter the course of the series' with just hours to go until the show final. Last week, BBC viewers saw Maya Jama boast that she and her fellow Traitors James Acaster and King Kenny had already 'completed the game' because the trio were 'trusted most' in the trial and given a special power.However, things can soon change in the Scottish castle, with Michael Sheen previously suggesting the stars should flip their entire approach to the game after having a string of Faithfuls banished. A TV insider said: 'Just when you think you know exactly how the series will play out, there's another sensational turn of events.'It's one which no one is likely to see coming - the producers of the show certainly didn't predict it. The likes of this has never been seen on the show before, and may never be seen again.' Celebrity Traitors is set to be rocked by a 'sensational bombshell' which will 'alter the course of the series' with just hours to go until the show final Last week, BBC viewers saw Maya Jama boast that she and her fellow Traitors James Acaster and King Kenny had already 'completed the game' because the trio were'trusted most' The source added to The Sun: 'It all adds up to make the semi-final an absolutely unmissable episode and the perfect lead into the finale on Friday.'Last week's episode was left on a cliffhanger as Sharon Rooney and Joanne McNally's fate was in Traitor Kenny's hands at the round table, after the celebrities chose him to have the dagger, the deciding double vote. But as host Claudia Winkleman asked him to turn over his slate, the credits rolled meaning fans have had a long week to see who is banished. Romesh Ranganathan has said he feels 'utterly humiliated' after the Faithfuls were branded the 'worst of all time' following Friday's episode.In a spectacular own goal, the group chose to vote all three Traitors as the three contestants they 'trusted most', giving them a special power.Speaking about what the show was like behind-the-scenes, Romesh, 48, said on his BBC Radio 2 show on Saturday: 'I’ll tell you a couple of things. The first thing that I imagine, if you’ve been watching, that’s paramount in your mind is the complete and utter humiliation of being asked in the scarecrow task to pick our most Faithful people to potentially get the special power, and we chose the Traitors.'I’m going to tell you now, not ideal. I had to stay off socials, just loads of people doing TikToks going, "Oh my God how thick are they? This has got to be the worst set of Faithfuls I’ve ever seen in my life!" More difficult than it looks! Anyway, that was humiliating, it was really humiliating.'And the other thing, when you do the show they say to you, "There are two parts to doing this show, and the first part is actually filming the show, and then the second part is the show going out", because, obviously, you’re seeing stuff that you didn’t know was going on, and also I’m seeing conversations that I never had any awareness of.'Romesh said he was watching with viewers and had no idea the Traitors had fallen out during the shield challenge after James A refused to take off his blindfold and sabotage shields.

The lack of concern from the other contestants is what I would describe as insulting!'Viewers believe the Faithful don't have a hope in winning the jackpot after Friday's episode saw them vote for the three Traitors as the most trustworthy.The scenes unfolded when the stars entered a ‘field of screams’, where scarecrows bearing each of their names stood beside pitchforks.Working in pairs, one celebrity collected bags of gold worth £500 while the other hung them on the pitchforks to bank the cash.Three bags on one pitchfork blew up the scarecrow, knocking that celebrity out of the running for a secret power.Kenny was awarded a dagger carrying a double vote, while the stars added £13,500 to the charity prize fund, taking it to £59,500.Viewers wrote on X: 'As if they've picked the three actual Traitors to have the possibility of winning the special power. The worse set of Faithfuls of all time';'No way the three they chose were the three Traitors';'Wow the Faithfuls are so bad at this game';'All three of the Celebrity Traitors were the most trusted of the group. Yeah it's definitely a Traitor win this year!';'By the end of this series, there won't be any Faithfuls left';'These Faithfuls haven't got a clue. The three they named the most trustworthy are the three Traitors?!'His advantage was set to prove decisive when the Round Table vote left Sharon Rooney and Joanne McNally fighting for survival.
