Celebrity Traitors star Joanne McNally's four word response after claims that season two is already ruined

Since The Celebrity Traitors returned to our screens, the main topic of conversation has been Richard E. Grant's shocking admission to his fellow contestants that he was indeed a Traitor. 

His surprising revelation has called into question whether his huge mistake has already spoiled the season before it had begun - and comedienne Joanne McNally has spoken out about it.

Replying to HELLO!'s article about Richard's error, with the headline asking, "Has Celebrity Traitors season two's epic blunder ruined the show already?" the Irish contestant replied reassuring, writing: "Trust me it has not!" 

Joanne's comments might hint that the star might make it far in the show, particularly after HELLO!'s interview with her close friend Vogue Williams, who revealed that she hadn't heard from Joanne while filming the Traitors which is "always a good sign" and that she had one message from her to "send more fake tan" which Vogue joked meant that she was "still filming".

Fans of the show were shocked when Richard was made a Traitor in episode one, only to gleefully confirm that he was indeed a Traitor when quizzed by Joe Lycett. Joe quickly shared the information with their fellow contestants, and Richard became the main focus of suspicion in the group, leading his fellow Traitor Maya Jama to try and help deflect the heat off him by murdering journalist Amol Rajan and recruiting James Acaster, who were his two main accusers. 

Episode two ended on a jaw-dropping cliffhanger when the celebrities gathered for a roundtable and threw out various names including Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Julie Hesmondhalgh. However, it appeared that more people continued to suspect Richard, but fans won't know for sure until the show returns on Thursday.

Taking to X to discuss, one person wrote: "Richard E Grant has been through a lot the last few years so to see him absolutely loving his role is a joy to see - he will probably last about a day but hey he doesn’t give a [expletive] and is relishing every minute- and as for the laugh." Another person added: "Obsessed with richard admitting he’s a traitor and jerry basically being like ‘oh just ignore him he’s mental.'" 

A third person posted: "What was going through Richard E Grant's mind when he decided to tell everyone that he was a traitor."
