Celebrity Traitors fans are not impressed that they have to wait another week until they can watch the final episode.

The hit show, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, has left BBC One viewers gripped over the past month. Given its star-studded line-up, including Tom Daley, Paloma Faith, Stephen Fry, and Charlotte Church, it’s no wonder!

On Thursday night (October 30), iconic actress Celia Imrie was murdered by Alan Carr in plain sight at the beginning of the episode. Meanwhile, Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway was banished from the round table at the end.

Celebrity Traitors final date leavers viewers fuming

That now leaves just five contestants remaining: Faithfuls Joe Marler, David Olusoga and Nick Mohammed, and Traitors Alan Carr and Cat Burns.

With viewers gripped for who might win the show, here’s where things get a little awkward. They won’t be able to find out until next week, on Thursday (November 6). Reportedly, the finale was supposed to air tonight (October 31).

And to put it lightly, viewers didn’t hold back on the schedule shake-up online…

I’m outraged!!! We’ve got to wait a bloody week for the final?!?! Which evil being decided that?????#CelebrityTraitors,” one user wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

I’ve assumed all week that the Final would be tomorrow… THEY’RE MAKING US WAIT A WHOLE WEEK???? It’s nothing short of scandalous. #CelebrityTraitors,” another person shared.

And THAT was a rollercoaster of an episode last night! Could Joe Marler save the day? And we have to wait a WHOLE week!!! #CelebrityTraitors,” a third remarked.

I hate that we now have to wait another week to see how it all ends. #CelebrityTraitors #TheTraitors,” a fourth said.

Another echoed: “Having to wait a week for the final episode is ridiculous. This series has been brilliant, but the pacing of it needs looking at.”

Kate’s banishment

Following Kate’s banishment yesterday, viewers reacted to the broadcaster’s departure from the show.

Kate has to be THE worst faithful in history bless her,” one person insisted.

“Finally, Kate is gone,” another said.

I think Kate did brilliantly, considering everybody suspected her from episode one,” a third shared. 

Meanwhile, another came to her defense: “I do think Kate was just having fun and that’s why she didn’t really put much input in the mess.”
