The 43-year-old fell under suspicion during last Friday's roundtable, along with actress Sharon Rooney. Social media star King Kenny held the final and deciding vote, as well as the power of two votes thanks to the special dagger, and opted to banish Joanne.

"I've had such an amazing time with all of you; it's been one of the best experiences of my adult life. I actually feel emotional," Joanne told her fellow players.

"It has been amazing, thanks so much for all making it what it was," she continued, before revealing her identity as a "hardcore Faithful".

What happens to the banished celebrities?

In the latest episode of her podcast, My Therapist Ghosted Me, which she co-hosts alongside Vogue Williams, Joanne lifted the lid on what happens behind the scenes of the show after celebrities are banished from the castle. 

"So you get off the podium, they rush you out the side door, and you're bailed into a van like Whitney Houston in the Bodyguard with the pashmina over her head," explained the comedian.

"You have a little emergency backpack in the castle at all times, so that if it's the night that you do go, you have your essentials, and then you're taken to a different hotel."

Joanne revealed that the following day, the banished celebrities return to the castle to record their final interviews and B-roll footage, capturing them performing everyday tasks like brushing their teeth or combing their hair.

"The next day, you actually have a full day's work to do in the castle because you have to do all your B-roll shots," she continued. "There was a video of me in the bath."

Joanne also revealed that if any of the contestants need to use the bathroom while filming in the castle, production staff need to make sure they don't bump into the celebrities who left the night before.

"I always wondered why in the castle there, if you need to go to the bathroom or anything, it's this big production because they have to make sure the castle's clear and the people who've been banished the night before were in the castle doing all their extra last bits of work," revealed Joanne. "So they're making sure no one crosses paths. It's such a huge production. It's like military."
