Celebrity Traitors final LIVE: Two missing from reunion as winners and their chosen charities revealed The Celebrity Traitors have crowned their winners - as Sebastian Croft and Romesh Ranganathan took home the prize money for charity after last minute drama from James Blunt Paige Ingram, Charlotte Tutton Soaps Editor, Nicola Methven TV Editor, Jasmine Allday Assistant TV and Showbiz Editor and Daniel Bird Assistant Showbiz Editor Updated 23:54, 30 Oct 2026 Celebrity Traitors 2026 has been won by the Faithfuls - as Sebastian Croft and Romesh Ranganathan take home the prize money for charity. In a shock twist this week, James Acaster panicked under the pressure and told everyone he was a Traitor before they voted him out. It left seven celebrities heading into the final, with Michael Sheen the last Faithful to be 'murdered'. The six remaining players faced one more roundtable. Maya Jama was then voted out after coming under suspicion before the fire pit, which also saw the end of the road for Leigh-Anne and Kenny. The show was won by Sebastian and Romesh after some last minute drama from James Blunt, who decided to banish again despite all three of them being Faithful.

Another wrote: "Lacked the warmth and tension of series 1, show got derailed because of the James Acaster situation towards the end, but the final was good as you weren't sure which combination was going to end the game. Felt like they missed the dinner party final bit they normally do though." A third wrote: "Normal Traitors without celebs from now please. All know each other too well and have nothing to lose or win. Normal twice a year please. Better final than I thought was possible after the 2nd to last."

Paige Ingram RE-WATCH: The winners reveal they are both Faithfuls Paige Ingram Did you expect Sebastian Croft and Romesh Ranganathan to win? · Paige Ingram Concerns spread for James Acaster Paige Ingram James Blunt ‘happy’ with faithful Traitors win Speaking after the final, Blunt said: “I really enjoyed it. It was intense, like all of them. “It was coming down to the wire, so it’s like all of them, and there was a curveball in there that completely caught me by surprise, which actually was fantastic gameplay by a person who was no longer acting like a faithful but was actually acting as a true traitor. But I was really happy with it, because you know, we’ve got the faithful win.” Blunt said he never expected to make the final and added that he thought his family would think he was a “bit of an idiot blundering through” when they watched the series. He added: “I’d hoped I didn’t make it that far. Just I couldn’t, couldn’t find a way out. I was doing everything wrong, and no one was murdering me, and no one was banishing me.” James Blunt said he is ‘really happy’ with the result of The Celebrity Traitors . BBC/Studio Lambert/PA Paige Ingram Maya Jama opens up on her 'savage' last day Maya Jama, who was the only original traitor left in the game, said she would have betrayed a fellow traitor herself if she had survived the roundtable. She said: “That last day I was like, I have to just be a savage now. “I’ve been lovely and considerate and put other traitors’ feelings before mine this whole game, and now I’m going to have to look after myself, because it is really a solo game at the end of the day, isn’t it?” Paige Ingram Maya expected King Kenny to betray her TV presenter Maya Jama has said she expected her fellow traitor, social media star King Kenny, to betray her in the final roundtable of The Celebrity Traitors. The 32-year-old, who was on three votes, was ousted when Kenny decided to vote for her to be banished rather than to tie the poll with eventual faithful joint winner Romesh Ranganathan, who was on two votes. Speaking about Kenny’s decision after the final, she said: “I expected it. I knew that it was going to have to be one of us, and he was a lot more trusted at that time than me, and I felt like it would be selfish for me to expect him to try and save me when it was never going my way. “Although I didn’t expect Leigh-Anne (Pinnock, former Little Mix singer) to vote for Romesh, if Kenny had known that, he could have jumped on that train as well.” Paige Ingram Romesh and Bash's charities revealed as £83K raised Romesh and Bash revealed the charities that their portions of the £83,000 prize pot would be donated to. Romesh’s half will be going to Refugee Council – a charity which works with refugees and asylum seekers. Meanwhile, Bash’s half is being donated to Choose Love – a charity which provides humanitarian aid to refugees. Paige Ingram Watch the moment the Celebrity Traitors cast watch the Faithful win Charlotte Tutton The moment Bash realised Kenny was a Traitor He spilled: "It was wild, I think until about an hour and a half before I was so split between whether I was going to go with James until the end or with Romesh and Kenny. "I wrote a list of everything that I thought James, Romesh, and Kenny had done that was Faithful since Hannah's banishment and the Traitors last recruited. "My list for Kenny was almost non-existent. And then when we went to four and Kenny voted to end the game, I just knew he was a Traitor, and I was banking on James voting for Kenny, so it would be a split vote."

Charlotte Tutton Fans have their say... Viewers were pretty divided on where Celebrity Traitors series 2's final ranked, out of the best and worst UK series so far. One thrilled fan wrote on X: "Awesome #CelebrityTraitors Final and best of any UK version to date, as that fire pit segment was just jaw dropping at times." Another agreed: "Great final. The faithfuls came good in the end after a very bad track record. Kenny was brilliant." Not everyone agreed though, with one unimpressed fan saying: "Genuinely the worst final ever," as another fan posted: "This is about to be the worst traitors final of all time." Yikes, you can't please everyone! One thrilled fan wrote on X: "Awesome #CelebrityTraitors Final and best of any UK version to date, as that fire pit segment was just jaw dropping at times."

The wool was put over my eyes, but I think I had suspicions of Maya, so I wasn't that shocked, and if I didn't vote for her the first time, and she'd stayed, I would have voted for her the second time. "But Kenny absolutely floored me, he did a good job. He was just Kenny, and I just trusted him. I was flabbergasted at that." She said: "[I felt] stupid.

Charlotte Tutton Romesh embarrassed by win Does Romesh think he deserves the big win on Celebrity Traitors? He said: "It's happiness tinged with a little bit of embarrassment. "I feel that I've won the game despite my key development area in this game being identifying Traitors correctly. I think that's probably the thing that I was the worst at."

Charlotte Tutton Missing cast members slammed With players including Maya Jama and Michael Sheen missing from the Traitors Final Uncloaked special, fans were not impressed. One fan posted on X: "Always feel it’s a bit rude when people don’t turn up to the end of series Uncloaked. So many missing and refuse to believe they were ALL filming." Another asked: "Why are half the cast missing?" with a sad face emoji. Sad times. One fan posted on X: "Always feel it’s a bit rude when people don’t turn up to the end of series Uncloaked.

Charlotte Tutton Kenny reacts to getting rid of Maya He confessed: "It was so difficult, because I really wanted me and her to be in the final, and then we would have taken the win, but I had to do a high risk, high reward move, taking her out. I hope she understood. I really do."
