Comedian Ranganathan became suspicious of Blunt at the last minute after the singer dismissed Traitor Maya Jama’s parting comments before she was banished. Jama had said, “Good luck, you’re going to need it!” - something that Ranganathan had taken as a warning that there might still be a Traitor in their midst before they ended the game.After Blunt claimed it was “nothing”, Ranganathan voted to banish him, before changing his mind when Bash talked him out of it and banishing Kenny instead. In the next round, Bash and Romesh voted for endgame, meaning they would have won alongside Blunt. But Blunt, who appeared angry at coming under Romesh’s suspicion, voted for a further banishment - which resulted in his own exit.Despite the strained circumstances surrounding his departure, Blunt insisted there are no hard feelings with his former castmate.Winners Romesh Ranganathan and actor Sebastian Croft PA MediaSpeaking on Hits Radio, James said: “Romesh is a very very sweet human being, and I promise he and I get on very very well.”Asked if Ranganathan donated any money to his preferred charity, he said: “He has done. I was going to save that for a conversation I was having with him, but you know, if you’re going to mention it, he absolutely has.“It’s called the Blue Marine Foundation.”Ranganathan later explained his reasoning for becoming suspicious of Blunt at the last minute, admitting he felt so clueless as to who could be a Traitor that he had started picking up on every minute detail as a potential sign. Blunt alongside King Kenny, host Claudia Winkleman, Ranganathan, Croft, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Maya JamaPAFellow winner Croft revealed his share of the winnings will go to Choose Love, an organisation that he previously volunteered for.He said: "The money will be going to refugees and displaced people, but predominantly queer refugees and displaced people, and they are just the best organisation."I am playing for the Refugee Council, helping displaced people who need help, and it's a cause that's very close to my heart, so I'm very, very grateful for this."Read MoreReflecting on his victory alongside Ranganathan, Croft became emotional and said: "That was just incredible. This might actually be the best day of my life."Meanwhile, Ranganathan admitted he hoped his family would be proud of his achievement, particularly his 11-year-old son, Charlie, who encouraged him to sign up for The Celebrity Traitors, hosted by 54-year-old Claudia Winkleman.He said: "I just really hope my mum's proud, and also my youngest son, Charlie, who wanted me to come on the show.
