Fans of The Celebrity Traitors have spotted the "tactical" moment where Jonathan Ross gave away his fellow Traitor Cat Burns at the end of Wednesday night's episode. The 64-year-old broadcaster was banished during the roundtable after receiving the most votes. Jonathan managed to survive three weeks of the game while the Faithfuls mistakenly eliminated members of their own team and the Traitors continued their murder spree. As suspicions mounted against him, even his fellow Traitors, Cat and Alan Carr, turned on him at the roundtable and chose to vote him out.

One person wrote on X: "The way Jonathan looked shocked at Cat… your gonna give people away," while another added: "If any of the faithful was looking at Jonathan when Cat voted for him they'd know she was a traitor too, any more of a facial reaction and he might as well have screamed like Alan on the bridge."

They penned: "Jonathan that wide eye reaction to Cat's vote was TOO tactical."
Wednesday's episode ended on a cliffhanger, with Cat and Alan tasked with claiming their next victim. The pair were asked to murder a Faithful in plain sight by telling them that "parting is such sweet sorrow" at the upcoming dinner party.
Celebrity Traitors continues on Thursday at 9pm on BBC One.
