Celebrity Traitors 2026 live: Richard Osman reveals genius move Hannah Fry missed

Celebrity Traitors star Richard E Grant's brief but explosive time on the show is over - admitting that he had managed to "check mate" himself in a spectacular show first.

His replacement in the turret, Professor Hannah Fry , appears to have adopted her predecessor's bungling attitude to the game - making a series of errors in her first hours wearing the green cloak. Miranda Hart has turned Miss Marple and appears to have rumbled her already.

But not soon enough. As the episode ended we said goodbye to teary Industry star Myha'la after her wink to Richard sealed her fate - at least in the eyes of Julie Hesmondhalgh.

We left the series with yet another cliffhanger, as the Traitors plotted to murder again with them marking out James Blunt, Bella Ramsey and Sebastian Croft.

Miss Miranda Marple goes straight to the top of class for her expert skills in clocking castle chum Professor Hannah Fry had been recruited as a traitor. The next challenge will be what she does with his information and if she can recruit enough Faithfuls to believe her without getting herself murdered.

The most meme-able man on television right now. Even Prince William couldn’t resist taunting his paranoid ways. Yes, he’s drawing a lot of attention to himself, but he's also making himself look like an out-and-out Faithful.

After a twitchy start, he showed some true Traitor grit by happily back-stabbing Richard at the round table. More of this please! Could this be the beginning of James’ villain arc?

Deserves to stay for that shower scene alone. But also deserves a spot for keeping the celebs in check during the missions with his dramatic barking. Has a lot of knowldge of moving battering rams and a lot more to give to the game, but has he proved too vocal for the Traitors already? Could be up for the chop tonight unless the Traitors take into account how wrong he’s been so far.

Gleefully saw off co-conspirator Richard and appears to be settling into a role as leader of the Traitors. The Love Island star had kept the heat off so far and will need to continue keeping a low profile while staying chummy with the unsuspecting Faithful.

So much comedy potential that we’ve only seen snippets of so far. Also giving big Faithful energy with her terrible guesses. Could end up staying for weeks.

Many fans think James and Maya slipped up by not recruiting Michael to join them and picking Hannah instead. Unlike fellow thespian Richard E. Grant, Michael is managing to stay nicely under the radar so far.

You could say Rob is doing an excellent job at being a Faithful, lurking in the background and generally enjoying castle life. He’s a safe, low-target player... for now.

Just like his buddy Rob, Romesh is keeping a very low profile. He was one of the first to Faithfuls to interrogate Richard, but will the remaining Traitors remember and punish him later?

We didn’t see too much of him in episode three, but Joe managed to provide a giggle during the often drawn-out missions with his excellent Jonathan Bailey battering ram joke.
