Spoiler warning: This article reveals details from the second episode of the Celebrity Traitors
The latest episode of Celebrity Traitors has aired, and the internet is abuzz with Tom Daley’s conspicuous skepticism toward Kate Garraway.
The Olympic diver made no attempt to conceal his suspicion of the presenter during Thursday night’s broadcast, making her suspect number one.
When Garraway expressed she was “flabbergasted” by the first murder, Daley, 31, responded with a pronounced eye roll, questioning her choice of words.
“Who uses that word?” he quipped.
Comedian Alan Carr, 49, retorted, “You can’t just call someone a Traitor because they have a better vocabulary than you.”
However, Daley wasn’t alone in his assessment of Garraway.
Throughout the episode, Garraway faced accusations of “over-acting” from both her fellow contestants and viewers online.
“Kate Garraway is coming across so suspicious and being so over the top. Even I’m starting to think she’s secretly a Traitor and I know she isn’t,” commented one X user.
Entertainment reporter Indigo Stafford suggested that Garraway’s behavior indicated she was concealing something.
Spoiler alert: she wasn’t. Garraway is a Faithful. Yet, persistent mentions of her name during the roundtable prompted her to defend herself.
She explained, “I’m a massive ham,” attributing her behavior to her natural personality.
Garraway wasn’t the only one struggling with the art of deception.
Alan Carr, who shone in the premiere episode, continued to find maintaining a poker face challenging.
The first episode culminated with Carr tasked with “murdering” a fellow celebrity in plain sight, leaving audiences in suspense.
He ultimately chose singer Paloma Faith, a self-professed “best friend.”
The following morning, as the remaining contestants grappled with the aftermath, Carr exhibited visible nervousness, fidgeting and biting his fingers.
“It was a stretch for my acting ability, I don’t know how Meryl Streep does it,” he confessed.
Jonathan Ross, a Traitor, then vowed to avenge Faith, a display entertainment reporter Siobhan Synnot described as “massive graveside overacting.”
Stafford posits that the celebrities’ subpar acting stems from genuine nerves induced by the high-stakes game.
“Being in a game set around murder, betrayal and manipulation… would jangle your nerves,” she explained.
Elsewhere, viewers found amusement in the celebrities’ spelling mishaps, drawing comparisons to previous contestants.
Niko Omilana’s vote for Tom Daley was spelled “DAYLEE,” echoing past spelling errors.
“Niko keeping the longstanding traitors tradition of terrible name spelling at the round table alive and well,” wrote one X user, “It’s officially Tom Daylee now, any other spelling will not be accepted.”
The spelling error evoked memories of Minah from season 3, who frequently had to correct the spelling of her name.
The celebrities’ fashion choices also sparked debate.
Jonathan Ross’s fur-trimmed jacket and sunglasses during a rainy funeral scene drew mixed reactions.
One X user lauded his wardrobe, while another quipped that he resembled “your least favourite aunty.”
Paloma Faith, the “poisoned” contestant, expressed her disappointment on Traitors Uncloaked, citing both her untapped potential and her planned outfits as reasons for sadness.
The episode concluded on another cliffhanger, leaving viewers to await next week’s reveal of the banished contestant.
This, too, has generated significant buzz online.
“So we won’t be won’t know who gets banished until Wednesday?? As in 7 days???”, tweeted one frustrated viewer, accompanied by a string of crying emojis.
The Celebrity Traitors airs on BBC One on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 21:00 BST and is available on BBC iPlayer. The series will consist of nine episodes.
