He then admitted that a 'weight has been lifted off his shoulders'.The comedian has previously referenced his autism diagnosis in his stand-up shows, discussing how neurodivergence shapes his perspective and creative process.While some fans have called out James for 'ruining' the game just one episode before the finale, his co-stars and comedy circuit pals have rushed to defend him – while his close friends have revealed their shock at his unexpected move.James' outing comes after he revealed how he had an extraordinary face-to-face confrontation with Jerry Hall that BBC bosses cut from the show.He said the former supermodel, 70, cornered him over his secret identity as a Traitor – only for him to virtually admit she was right in an exchange that never made it to our screens.James, who was recruited as a Traitor part-way through the series, said Jerry had correctly worked out he was deceiving his fellow contestants.Speaking on Alan Carr's Life's a Beach podcast on Monday, he recalled: 'Jerry Hall went right up to me face to face, this close, accused me of being a traitor.'
