Jonathan Ross became the first Traitor banished from Celebrity Traitors after three nail-biting weeks – but it was his final, fatal glance that sent fans into a frenzy: “He’s ruined the entire season!”
The 64-year-old TV host was “betrayed” by his own allies, Cat Burns and Alan Carr, who voted him out at the roundtable as suspicion closed in. But it wasn’t the vote that sparked outrage – it was Ross’s eyes saying everything.
When Cat suddenly turned on him, Ross raised his eyebrows in shock – a micro-reaction caught on camera and instantly dissected online.
“The way Jonathan looked at Cat… you’re gonna give people away!” one fan posted on X. “Did they CLOCK Jonathan’s eyes when Cat voted for him?!” another demanded. “Any more of a reaction and he might as well have screamed like Alan on the bridge!” a third quipped.
But the drama didn’t end there. Viewers accused Ross of throwing Cat and Alan under the bus all episode in a bitter act of revenge. “He knew he was going down, so he tried to drag them with him. Season ruined!” one furious fan wrote.
Not everyone agreed. Some defended Ross, saying he gifted his fellow Traitors a lifeline by redirecting suspicion onto Faithful David Olusoga, who’d been under fire earlier. “If the only way they survive is by stabbing their own in the back at the last second, they’re not playing well enough,” one supporter fired back.
In his dramatic exit, Ross played the Faithful card one last time:
“I am now, and I have been all through the game, completely faithful…” …before grinning: “…to the Traitors.”
From the next episode, a brutal new rule kicks in: banished players will no longer reveal their identity – leaving the Faithfuls blind to whether they’re voting right or wrong.
The episode ended on a jaw-dropping cliffhanger: Cat and Alan must now murder a Faithful in plain sight by whispering “parting is such sweet sorrow” at an upcoming dinner party.
On Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked, Ross held no grudges. In fact, he praised his former allies and predicted:
“I don’t think Alan’s going to survive, but Cat will make it to the end.”
Did Jonathan Ross’s “too honest” eyes destroy the season – or was it just a human slip in a game built on lies? Fans are divided, and the betrayal storm is only getting started…
