Celebrity Traitors season 2, Richard E. Grant admits he's a traitor

tvOct 2, 202636580

Richard E. Grant admitted he was a Traitor during the first episode of Celebrity Traitors season 2, confessing his role shortly after being selected and leaving fellow contestants and producers stunned. The British reality series, which pits celebrities against each other in a game of deception, had intended Grant's Traitor status to be a surprise; this was the first time Grant had been cast as a Traitor. Grant's on-camera slip came during a tense moment in the premiere and confused contestants who had not yet learned their roles. The revelation increased drama in the episode and has prompted public discussion about the show’s format and the difficulty contestants face keeping their roles secret.

Can't believe Richard E Grant allowed that episode to go out.

Surely that is THE final RHLSTP put out...?

A totally unhinged move, so unhinged, so bold, so ludicrous in fact that I imagine some will now think he is definitely a faithful.

Michael (he/they) 🪿💜1

I see what you did there

I can’t imagine the contract gives him the veto…

Dermot Smith1

Put it out! Put it out! 🤣

As a man exactly the same age as him, I bloody hope so

Martin Smith2

He’s gone very Tory MP/aspiring Tory peer. Or maybe it’s just that he looks weirdly like Seb Coe.

You mean, ever? Because Mick & Rupert certainly were work.

somebody give ross kemp a kiss just to f with him

Alistair King1

Did you notice also how he speaks a bit like Chris Eubank? He didn’t feature much and I might have imagined it but it felt like there was at least a hint. (Hope he does well, though. I generally like the cut of his jib, the jib I’ve seen in recent years, I mean.)

Appearing on Celebrity Traitors and immediately getting voted off because I without thinking say “oh, it’s Stormzy’s ex!” when Maya Jama appears.

“I’m the biggest fan of this show and nobody knows.” You’re appearing on the Celebrity Traitors in 2026, I think your secret is out.

"are you still in touch with Ruben? what does he think of the 114 charges?"

“I guess his featured part on that remix of Power by Little Mix wasn’t about you, hmm? Would HE say you were a faithful?” Murdered

Richard E Grant has either discovered the key to winning the game or a way to get out quick if you decide that you don’t, after all, fancy it.

And I just hope, hope, Amol is the one to go. He has no idea how people perceive him.

Alex Kanefsky (he/him)2

Really hope he makes it

PeskyPixie1

It was a weird pick between amol and James. I would probably pick James as an 'obvious faithful' and traitor hunter

Jo1

How come I'm the only person totally over Richard e Grant playing Richard e Grant?!? 😂 His entire schtick is soooo boring, and he says that same thing about his wife every single time... Amol is gone, I'm sure... I think they'll go for James as he's more pliable, Amol so calculating.

Curious Iguana1

He seems genuinely quite, quite mad

Wow, massive start for #CelebrityTraitors. Season 2 premiere was watched by 8.9m viewers on the BBC, nearly 3m up from last year. A record season premiere rating for the show.

8 And, most impressively, Richard E Grant has played the actual Doctor. Twice. First in 1999 Comic Relief sketch ‘Curse of the Fatal Death’, then in 2003 animation ‘Scream of the Shalka’. His incarnation was then included in a montage in 2024 ep ‘Rogue’. #DoctorWho #CelebrityTraitors #TheTraitors

#CelebrityTraitors #TheTraitors has come at the right time for me. Between Ross thinking he’s been murdered at every corner, to the wonderful Richard E Grant totally forgetting the aim of the game, I laughed properly for the first time in days. #SpeirGorm #PetGrief

My youngest has been so excited for Celebrity Traitors starting and they both had such a laugh watching it last night. It’s really nice to have a show we can all watch together as a family.

I've been giggling happily to myself at everyone's comments here on #CelebrityTraitors and rather enjoyed Stuart Heritage's liveblog too, albeit after the event. Thanks, everyone - it's been a blast. Same time tomorrow? x www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

If the end of the world was announced I'm pretty sure that #r4today would still have a promotion for 'Celebrity Traitors' ahead of it in the headlines at the top of the show.
