Joe Lycett is voted off in the latest episode of BBC’s *Celebrity Traitors* after telling contestants he wanted to join the Traitors. In accounts of the roundtable, his comments raise doubts among the “Faithful” and lead to him being banished from the game.
Several outlets describe Lycett as effectively drawing attention to himself by breaking an unwritten “golden rule” of the show: keep his intentions unclear. The Mirror and *i* report that his openness prompts suspicion, while *The Independent* frames the moment as an admission he makes following his banishment. The Daily Mail also notes the episode continues with new testing of other players, including “treacherous” tasks and a new recruit being put under scrutiny.
Across coverage, the key point is that Lycett’s attempt to position himself as a Traitor backfires, and the other contestants respond by removing him at the roundtable.
