Maya Jama pulled one final betrayal over her faithful castmates at a special recording of Celebrity Traitors Uncloaked last night after failing to turn up.Maya, 32, was selected as a traitor on the show by Claudia Winkleman during the first episode, but despite having a stellar run which saw her make it all the way to the final, she did not turn up to celebrate.Following last night's final, which saw faithfuls Romesh Ranganathan, 48, and Sebastian Croft, 24, crowned the winners, the cast reunited for the finale special of Uncloaked with host Ed Gamble.But Maya was conspicuously absent, with Ed telling the audience she was 'away filming' and 'sends her apologies'.Maya is currently filming series two of The Gentlemen, but she could also have been absent due to her busy Halloween schedule – she is believed to be putting the final touches to plans for her annual party tonight, which is always attended by celebrity royalty. The Love Island host had managed to stay under the radar alongside fellow recruit Kenny, 29, until Thursday's episode, which saw third traitor James Acaster voted out after revealing his identity as a traitor.The shock move came after James, 41, who had not wanted to be a traitor, suffered an off-screen panic attack which caused filming to be paused.James was also not at last night's Uncloaked.

This might actually be the best day of my life.'Adding what the highlight of his experience was, the actor shared: 'It was the moment that Rom said the word Faithful, and the hug that we had was just wild, it was crazy.'The duo then joined the host and celebrity finalists outside the picturesque Ardross Castle, where they raised a glass around the fire pit.Many more glasses are likely to be raised as the cast reunite again for festive fun tonight.
