James Acaster reacts to being branded an “accidental sex symbol” after fans said his appearance on BBC’s The Celebrity Traitors turned him into an unlikely national crush. Metro, the Independent and Belfast Telegraph all report that the comedian says the attention is enjoyable and describes it as “quite nice.”
The coverage is centred on Acaster’s comments, including that he is aware people still fancy him while he carries out his role in the show as a secret Traitor. Metro adds that his appearances have sparked social-media “thirst-trap” edits and links the reaction to the show’s setting and his look. Across the outlets, the tone is largely light, focusing on his attitude toward the nickname and the fan response.
