Joanne McNally, a former contestant on BBC reality show The Celebrity Traitors, says an upcoming “tell-all” episode of her podcast was withdrawn after she claimed it would have violated her contract with the broadcaster. She says the bonus episode, co-hosted with Vogue Williams, was due to release after the show’s second season finale but did not go live as scheduled.
HuffPost UK reports that the podcaster and show staff discussed the decision in a later instalment. It says producer Joe Attewell explained the recording took place on the Friday afternoon and that the episode covered behind-the-scenes details about McNally’s experience. He is described as saying that “just about everything” discussed on the podcast conflicted with contracts that had been signed, preventing release. McNally is also described making comments about what happens to contestants after they are banished, as well as other behind-the-scenes details she has shared elsewhere.
Other outlets frame the same claim more succinctly, focusing on McNally’s allegation that the BBC stopped the episode. They cite that the episode was pulled due to an alleged contract breach, without adding additional specifics about what was recorded or what was said after publication was cancelled.
