A significant story is unfolding on the international scene. Bombshell confession in The Traitors as faithfuls finally turn the screw Image source, Press AssociationPublished31 minutes agoByEmma SaundersCulture reporterSpoiler warning: This article reveals details from episode nine of The Celebrity Traitors, series two. With the traitors still riding high following last Friday's episode, could they really just walk it to the final? It was time to find out.

Having been bestowed with the almighty power of the double dagger - well, metaphorically speaking, at least - King Kenny held all the cards, choosing to use his special power of a double vote to send another faithful packing. As cliffhangers go, it wasn't hugely thrilling for viewers at home, given that the pair up for banishment - Sharon Rooney and Joanne McNally - were both faithfuls. Nevertheless, it left a big impact on the faithful crew as they realised they had let the traitors land yet another blow ahead of Friday's final.

The Details

"We've got to pull something out of the bag," said frustrated faithful Michael Sheen later. Joanne got teary as she departed and joked "she was premenstrual," before revealing she was "a hardcore faithful". Maya described her as a "ball of fun", while Kenny put on his best acting skills in the aftermath by pretending to be struggling with having the deciding vote, even comforting poor Sharon.

Give that man an Oscar. Meanwhile, James Blunt was on the hunt for whiskey like a teenager at the end of a house party: "Where do they keep the stiff stuff? " he asked himself, finding only a tray of empty glasses.

Murder was soon on the minds of the traitors again as the dastardly trio of Kenny, Maya and James A trudged up to the turret. "The life of a traitor... it's not for everyone," said Maya.

What Experts Say

And that probably includes James A, although to be fair, he has shown a bit more enthusiasm for some pantomime villainy in the last couple of episodes. "Let's have faith," said King Kenny without a hint of irony.

When Leigh-Anne Pinnock, probably the most astute faithful of the series, brought up James A being a potential traitor over breakfast, James B sarcastically replied: "I think that's a good theory to start banishing the most innocent. "Sharon - aka Poundland Poirot - failed to appear in the dining room, having been chosen for the chopping block so soon after escaping banishment, throwing all the faithfuls into more confusion. She was getting a bit stressed, so it was probably for the best.

Michael had a warning for the traitors though, giving his most rousing oratory since his motivational speech for the Welsh football team ahead of the 2022 World Cup. today is going to be a living hell for you, I am going to push and push and push and you are going to suffer today. This is the apocalypse.

The development has drawn wide international attention, with diplomatic circles watching closely.
