Celebrity Traitors star Joanne McNally claims the BBC stopped her from releasing a 'tell-all' podcast about the show over 'violation of her contract'

Published: 10:44 EDT, 4 November 2026 | Updated: 10:47 EDT, 4 November 2026 Celebrity Traitors star Joanne McNally had been set to release a 'tell-all' podcast episode about her time on the show, before it was pulled by the BBC. The comedian, 43, narrowly missed out on a place in the final after she was banished by her fellow Faithfuls. Joanne had promised there would be an extra episode of My Therapist Ghosted Me all about her experience on the show, with co-host Vogue Williams grilling her for all the 'juicy' details. However, the podcast's producer Joe Attewell has revealed the show won't be released as it was a 'violation' of Joanne's contract with the BBC. Before heading to Ardross Castle to film the series earlier this year, all players signed non-disclosure agreements, with Ross Kemp saying the NDA was 'longer than the Bayeux Tapestry'. Joe revealed he has been inundated with questions over where the bonus episode is.
