Celebrity Traitors viewers see former Today programme host Amol Rajan eliminated in the first episode of the season’s latest phase. The broadcast includes a recruitment decision by Richard E. Grant and Maya Jama, who bring in comedian and podcaster James Acaster.
Across coverage, outlets describe a suspense period before the final choice among candidates is confirmed. One report notes viewers must wait about 24 hours to learn whether Amol Rajan or James Acaster would be selected as the third traitor. The accounts emphasize the show’s ongoing strategy around “taking the heat off” particular contestants following an earlier slip-up involving the main celebrity pair.
Both sources focus on the same sequence of events—Amol Rajan’s elimination and James Acaster’s recruitment by Richard E. Grant and Maya Jama—though they differ mainly in how they frame timing and the dramatic purpose of the recruitment within the game.
