Joe made a costly blunderCelebrity Traitors 2026 fans were left “gutted” as Joe Lycett became the latest celebrity to be banished during last night’s show (Friday, October 16).
The 38-year-old comedian was voted out by his fellow celebrities after making a blunder during the roundtable.
Celebrity Traitors star Joe Lycett banished
Last night saw another Faithful leave the show after Joe slipped up during the roundtable.
Joe was under a lot of heat during last night’s episode, after King Kenny was recruited to be a Traitor following Hannah Fry’s elimination.
This meant that there was no murder, leading to confusion when everyone appeared for breakfast the following morning.
The celebs twigged that a recruitment had taken place, and all eyes turned to Joe, who had made no secret of his desire to be a Traitor.
Attempting to defend himself at the roundtable that night, Joe stumbled, appearing to suggest that he was in fact a Traitor.
“Let’s say [the Traitors] were down to two last night and they recruited. There’s so much heat on me for what I was doing last night that there’s a good chance I’ll go tonight, which means that they’ll then have to recruit again tonight, denying them a murder,” he said.
After being called out, he quickly added: “If I was a Traitor.”
However, his blunder pretty much sealed his fate, and he was banished. Unfortunately, he was a Faithful, meaning the three Traitors are still in the game.
Fans gutted as Joe is eliminated
It’s safe to say fans were left disappointed by Joe’s elimination last night.
Taking to X, they admitted they were “gutted” by his exit.
“NOOOOOOOOO JOE LYCETTTTTTT DONT GOOO,” one fan tweeted.
“Joe was the only funny/fun one left to watch :(,” another said.
“I’m actually so torn up about Joe getting banish, I just sobbed… I cannot watch this show while fighting PMS, I feel insane,” a third wrote.
“Gutted for Joe, but he unfortunately didn’t help himself,” another added.
“Gutted about Joe leaving, didn’t want that to happen and why is no one questioning Maya at the round table, even questioning why she doesn’t say anything at the round table,” a fifth said.
Last night’s episode also ended on a cliffhanger, with Jerry Hall and Ross Kemp facing being murdered in plain sight. However, viewers will have to wait until next week to find out what happens!
