Celebrity Traitors' Jonathan Ross game plan 'exposed' as one Faithful is in huge danger

A former Traitor has exposed Jonathan Ross' game plan - and it leaves one glamorous Faithful in a dangerous position. The beloved BBC murder mystery returned with a bang last Wednesday (October 8), and it certainly didn't disappoint as millions of viewers tuned in for the highly anticipated launch show. In what has been called the best decision in TV history, host Claudia Winkleman has appointed the late-night talk show host, comedian Alan Carr, and singer Cat Burns as this year's Celebrity Traitors.

Now, former 2024 Traitor Paul Gorton has given viewers an insight into the Masked Singer judge's game plan in Ardross Castle. Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, he revealed which Traitor is most likely to betray the team.

The 36-year-old business manager told us without hesitation: "Jonathan. I feel like he's adopted the same style as me. He looks like he's firmly put himself into that Traitor leader role and is loving every second of it. I see him easily backstabbing."

The TV star added that all three of them have the ability to betray the team, but warned that there is already one Faithful he believes could join the team. Paul explained: "Alan also closely looks like he would [betray the team] and Cat, for that matter, too! Maybe I've started a trend.

"I'd recruit a patsy, maybe Kate, as she's got a good amount of heat already - you never want to recruit someone stronger than yourself." The Manchester native went on to expose which stars have entered the castle with a game plan that could turn the whole series on its head.

When asked which stars are most likely to have developed a strategy, he declared: "ALL OF THEM. These have been in the entertainment industry for a long time, and none have got success by chance. These are skilled professionals with manicured personas; do not be fooled by Celia Imrie's nature, Joe Marler's charm, or Joe Wilkinson's laid-back approach. They're all here to play."

It comes after Jonathan revealed that he "didn't actually enjoy" his time on the Scottish reality show. On his podcast Reel Talk, which he hosts with his daughter Honey, he spilled the details, revealing that two of his celebrity friends have already been approached to star on the second series of the star-studded show.

He told listeners: "I know because I've had two celebrity friends of mine call me saying, 'I've been approached, what do you think about it? Is it good to do, is it bad to do?' So I'm giving them the benefit of my experience... which, as you know, I didn't actually enjoy it."

Honey replied, "Well, you said you found it really challenging and really difficult. Obviously, now knowing..." He continued, "I'm a Traitor. I found it really wearing on me. The lying genuinely made me feel increasingly uncomfortable."

But only time will tell which contestants play the game perfectly and who will be the first to be kicked to the curb. Celebrity Traitors airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 p.m. on BBC One, or you can catch up on BBC iPlayer.
