Celebrity Traitors viewers convinced James Blunt reaches final after spotting Alan Carr clue

The timing is convenient!

Celebrity Traitors’ James Blunt has left viewers believing he reaches this year’s final thanks to an upcoming appearance on The Graham Norton Show.

The Sun reports that viewers spotted the booking and think it could point to a place in the finale.

The comparison is with last year’s Celebrity Traitors winner Alan Carr. The comedian also appeared on Graham’s sofa after his victory.

Celebrity Traitors’ James Blunt’s booking fuels final theory

The thinking is that a post-final guest slot could give James a chance to discuss a lengthy run.

One viewer picked up on the timing, writing: “Feels like BBC cross promotion.”

In response, another person shared: “I think you are right but given it’s out of Joanne and Sharon for the end of last week’s banishment and then one more murder on Thursday, which is likely to be Romesh the way things are going (a faithful with a hay fever alibi and not under suspicion), then we’re down to eight players (three traitors and five faithfuls) and it’s almost certain that James B will be in Friday’s final episode.”

A third remarked: “Ha! I’ve noticed the same exact thing looking at the Graham lineup last week and was gonna say something but didn’t want to in case it was spoilers. I thought it was curious he’s the only guest from this series, just like Alan was last year.”

However, the booking does not establish how far James gets. Reaching the final would not automatically mean winning it, either.

For now, the supposed clue comes from outside the game, rather than anything James has done around the round table.

Celebrity Traitors fans previously spotted a Leigh-Anne Pinnock clue

James isn’t the first contestant whose off-screen diary has attracted attention during this series.

Earlier this month, Leigh-Anne Pinnock also faced finalist speculation after announcing a deluxe edition of her debut album.

The release was scheduled for the same day as the Celebrity Traitors final, prompting fans to connect the two.

That was another theory based on timing, rather than a confirmed result.

Alan’s result last year, meanwhile, is already part of Celebrity Traitors history. He won a charity prize fund of £87,500 for Neuroblastoma.

His victory followed tense voting rounds, with both viewers and fellow contestants celebrating his win.

His Graham Norton appearance aired on December 5, 2025, following the previous month’s finale.
