I watched Celeb Traitors behind my hands as three legends axed before ruthless final twist

Tonight I genuinely couldn't watch. It was the first time this series I caught myself shouting at the screen like a lunatic, pacing around the sofa, and muttering "what are you DOING?" at a group of celebrities who clearly have no idea what they're doing. The Traitors has always been ruthless, but tonight was something else entirely - a double gut punch that wiped out a fan favourite AND a national treasure in one savage swoop. Beware - there are spoilers ahead.

Things were already tense after last night's historic deadlock between David Olusoga and Mark Bonnar, which forced the pair to gamble their game on two mystery boxes. It was pure nail-biting television by the BBC - heads in hands, gasps around the table - and when David pulled the shield to save himself, Mark was banished on the spot. It's the first time the show has ever used that twist, and I still don't know whether it was genius or deeply unfair. But if that felt tense, it was nothing compared to what came next.

Because tonight, we lost someone I genuinely wasn't ready to say goodbye to - Joe Wilkinson was murdered by the Traitors. It was a gut-punch. Joe has been hysterical from day one, the king of dry throwaway comments, and the awkward glue holding the chaos together.

Judging by Twitter, I wasn't alone - fans were devastated, summing it up in one perfect line: "It's Joever." And honestly? It is.

And as if emotionally recovering from that wasn't enough, tonight's mission ramped up the psychological warfare. The groups were split into two teams - the winners would get immunity, while the losers would be left at the mercy of the Traitors.

Questions revealed cracks everywhere. When both teams named Kate the "weakest player", she handled it with a smile, but even she admitted it was "a tad bad for the ego."

But the real story tonight was Nick Mohammed, who has quietly become the sharpest mind in the game. He admitted during the mission that he let Joe Marler win on purpose because he believed there were more Traitors on his own team.

It was a clever tactical reveal - but the castle erupted. Lucy was furious, Kate turned on him, and half the room suddenly decided Nick must be guilty.

So after all that noise, who did the Faithfuls banish? Someone suspicious? Someone untrustworthy? No. They banished Stephen Fry - a legend. A national treasure. A man who can narrate the dictionary and make it emotional. And worse - he was Faithful.

And just when I thought I could finally breathe, Claudia dropped another bomb: Kate, Lucy and Nick were summoned to a secret room and told - in a letter - that one of them will be murdered face to face.

No cloaks. No darkness. No hiding. This game just turned feral. i'll guess we'll find out next week.

I'll be honest - at first I wasn't sure about the celebrity version of the show. I missed the raw unpredictability of normal people.

But now that the paranoia has properly kicked in? I'm hooked. But unless someone finally grows a backbone and flushes out a Traitor soon, this game risks going stale. Enough harmless Faithfuls. Enough easy kills. It's time for a head on a spike.
