Celebrity Traitors UK 2026 Full Elimination List Ahead of Tonight's Episode

The Celebrity Traitors returns to BBC One tonight, Friday 23 October, with just eleven celebrities remaining after another dramatic episode saw Ross Kemp murdered and Jerry Hall banished from the Scottish castle.

Thursday's episode brought the total number of eliminated contestants to ten, including four murders and six banishments. Two Traitors have been successfully exposed, but three remain hidden among the remaining Faithfuls as the competition approaches its final stages.

With another elimination looming tonight, here is everyone who has left The Celebrity Traitors 2026, in the order their departures were revealed.

Friday 2 October – Amol Rajan murdered

Broadcaster Amol Rajan became the first contestant eliminated from the second series, although his fate was not revealed until episode two.

The opening episode saw original Traitors Richard E Grant and Maya Jama given the opportunity to recruit another player. Amol and comedian James Acaster were summoned to plead their cases, with James ultimately recruited and Amol murdered.

His departure marked the beginning of the Traitors' campaign to eliminate the Faithfuls while keeping their own identities hidden.

Thursday 8 October – Richard E Grant and Myha'la banished

Richard E Grant – Traitor

Richard became the first Traitor to be exposed after his fellow contestants correctly identified him at the Round Table.

His banishment was decided during the previous episode, but the result was revealed on 8 October. His departure gave the Faithfuls their first significant victory, although Maya and James remained undetected.

Myha'la – Faithful

Industry actress Myha'la was also banished during the third episode after suspicion turned towards her.

Unlike Richard, she had been playing as a Faithful throughout the competition. Her elimination meant the contestants had followed their first successful banishment with another costly mistake.

Following Richard's departure, the remaining Traitors recruited mathematician Hannah Fry to join them.

Friday 9 October – Bella Ramsey murdered and Julie Hesmondhalgh banished

Bella Ramsey – Murdered

The Last of Us star Bella Ramsey became the second murder victim of the series after being selected for elimination by the Traitors.

Bella had been playing as a Faithful, and their departure reduced the number of innocent contestants still competing for the charity prize.

Julie Hesmondhalgh – Banished

Former Coronation Street actress Julie Hesmondhalgh was eliminated at the Round Table after her fellow contestants became suspicious of her behaviour.

Her departure was particularly disappointing because she had previously been voted one of the most trustworthy players in the castle.

Julie confirmed that she was a Faithful, leaving the remaining contestants to confront another incorrect decision.

Thursday 15 October – Rob Beckett murdered and Hannah Fry exposed

Rob Beckett – Murdered

Comedian Rob Beckett became the third murder victim following a mission involving four contestants and a protective key.

Rob, Ross Kemp, Romesh Ranganathan and Leigh-Anne Pinnock were involved in the challenge, with Leigh-Anne holding a key that protected her from murder.

The Traitors ultimately selected Rob, ending his time in the competition. His departure was particularly difficult for fellow comedian Romesh, who had been working closely with his friend.

Hannah Fry – Traitor banished

Mathematician and broadcaster Hannah Fry became the second Traitor to be successfully exposed during the series.

Hannah had originally entered the castle as a Faithful before accepting an invitation to join the Traitors following Richard's elimination.

Her banishment represented another important victory for the Faithfuls, although Maya and James subsequently recruited King Kenny to restore their numbers.

Friday 16 October – Joe Lycett banished

Comedian Joe Lycett became the next contestant to leave after attracting suspicion through his comments about the possibility of another Traitor being recruited.

Joe had repeatedly expressed an interest in becoming a Traitor himself, leading several players to question whether he knew more than he should.

He received eleven votes at the Round Table before revealing that he was a Faithful. His departure left the remaining contestants increasingly divided over who could be trusted.

Thursday 22 October – Ross Kemp murdered and Jerry Hall banished

Ross Kemp – Murdered

Former EastEnders star Ross Kemp became the fourth murder victim after falling for an unusual challenge involving a peacock-shaped perfume bottle.

The Traitors had been instructed to murder someone in plain sight by spraying perfume and encouraging a Faithful to yawn. Maya and James attempted to complete the task, with Ross and Jerry both considered possible victims.

Ross eventually yawned in the library, allowing James to complete the murder by asking: "Sorry, am I boring you?"

The challenge began during the previous episode, but Ross's fate was revealed on Thursday 22 October. His disappearance left the remaining contestants trying to work out how the Traitors had managed to kill someone in front of them.

Jerry Hall – Banished

Supermodel Jerry Hall became the latest contestant to be banished after receiving the most votes at the Round Table.

Although she had escaped the earlier murder attempt, her outspoken behaviour and accusations against other contestants had attracted growing suspicion.

Jerry insisted she had been a Faithful throughout the competition, telling her fellow players: "I'm sorry I made some mistakes, but I have always been a Faithful."

Her departure prompted applause from the remaining celebrities, with Claudia Winkleman declaring: "Players, you just banished a legend."

Jerry's elimination brought the total number of departures to ten, leaving the Faithfuls facing an increasingly difficult task.

Who are the three remaining Traitors?

Three Traitors remain in the competition following the eliminations of Richard E Grant and Hannah Fry.

Maya Jama was selected as one of the original Traitors and has successfully avoided banishment throughout the competition. She has continued to work behind the scenes to influence the Faithfuls' decisions.

James Acaster joined the Traitors during the opening episodes after being recruited instead of murdered. He has since played a central role in several eliminations, including Ross's murder in plain sight.

King Kenny became the latest recruit after Hannah was exposed, joining Maya and James as they attempted to maintain their advantage over the Faithfuls.

The trio remain undetected, although the pressure is increasing as the competition approaches its final stages.

Which Faithfuls are still in The Celebrity Traitors?

Eight Faithfuls remain following Thursday's episode, all hoping to identify the Traitors before the competition ends.

The remaining Faithfuls are James Blunt, Joanne McNally, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Michael Sheen, Miranda Hart, Romesh Ranganathan, Sebastian Croft and Sharon Rooney.

Thursday's episode ended with another murder decision looming, leaving Miranda, Romesh and Sebastian among those facing possible elimination.

With only eleven contestants remaining, the Faithfuls must identify the three celebrities secretly working against them if they hope to secure the charity prize.

What time is The Celebrity Traitors on tonight?

The Celebrity Traitors returns tonight, Friday 23 October, at 8pm on BBC One, with episode eight set to reveal the outcome of the latest murder decision.

The series continues on Thursday 29 October before reaching its final episode on Friday 30 October, when the remaining contestants will compete to secure the charity prize.

All episodes are also available to stream on BBC iPlayer, allowing viewers to catch up on every murder, banishment and Round Table confrontation so far. Image credits BBC
