Celia was a favourite with viewers

Celebrity Traitors fans were left fuming with Alan Carr after he murdered fan-favourite Celia Imrie tonight.

During Thursday evening’s episode (October 29), the remaining Traitors — Alan Carr and Cat Burns — had to murder another Faithful in plain sight.

Last night, Jonathan Ross became the first Traitor banished at the round table. In the same episode, comedian Lucy Beaumont was also murdered.

Tonight, the remaining Traitors were set a new mission, where one of them had to say, “Parting is such sweet sorrow,” to one of the contestants. Unfortunately for Celia, Alan ended up saying that exact sentence to the actress when the group was all together at the dinner table.

As a result, Celia was murdered that evening and immediately exited the show. Fans, however, were less than impressed with Alan’s decision and took to social media to complain.

Cat Burns to win?

With the series finale next Thursday (November 6), bookies have been betting on who would win the show.

According to exclusive odds from SportsCasting, singer Cat Burns is the current favourite (5/4).

SportsCasting’s Shane Orton told ED! that Cat “has navigated the game with remarkable composure” after “staying largely unsuspicious”.

Meanwhile, former rugby player Joe Marler is also predicted to have a high chance with odds of 2/1.

“Joe Marler’s straightforward approach and clear-eyed attack strategy have also been notable. He was right about Jonathan being a Traitor all along but often lacked the support to convince others. All signs point to a fascinating battle between cunning and observation in the final stages,” Shane continued.
