Is Celebrity Traitors on tonight? Not until Thursday. Episode nine is on Thursday 29 October at 8 pm on BBC One. Miranda Hart was murdered in episode eight on Friday, and the round table ended in a tie between Sharon Rooney and Joanne McNally, with King Kenny holding the deciding vote. Here is what time The Traitors is on, who left, who is still in, and when the final airs.
Thursday 29 October, 8 pm
Episode nine on BBC One and iPlayer settles the tied vote. The final is confirmed for Friday 30 October.
The Traitors murdered Miranda Hart, picking her from the shortlist they left hanging at the end of episode seven. She took it well, screwing up her name slip and saying: “Bottoms! I knew it.”
Then the Faithful handed the Traitors a gift. In the Field of Screams mission, each Faithful named the three players they trusted most, and they saved Maya Jama, James Acaster and King Kenny, all three of them Traitors. “Of all people, you saved us,” said Jama. The prize was a dagger worth two votes at the round table, and the Traitors gave it to Kenny.
At the round table, Sharon Rooney and Joanne McNally tied on four votes each. Both made a final plea before a revote, the deciding vote fell to Kenny, and the episode ended before the result.
Who left Celebrity Traitors last night?
Miranda Hart was the last player to leave Celebrity Traitors. She was murdered in episode eight on Friday 23 October 2026, the fifth Faithful murdered this series. No banishment was shown, because the round table ended in a tie between Sharon Rooney and Joanne McNally that will be settled on Thursday 29 October.
That made three players gone last week. Ross Kemp was murdered and Jerry Hall was banished in episode seven on Thursday 22 October, and Miranda Hart followed on Friday. Romesh Ranganathan and Bash Croft, the other two names on the murder shortlist, survive into the final week.
Miranda had been the Faithful most suspicious of Joanne McNally, LADbible noted. She said the game was “much harder than I thought it would be”, the Mirror reported.
Left hanging at the end of episode eight
King Kenny holds the deciding vote. The result airs Thursday 29 October at 8 pm on BBC One.
Bash Croft is the actor Sebastian Croft, which is the name he is listed under in the cast below.
Who will be banished from Celebrity Traitors, Sharon Rooney or Joanne McNally?
Viewers find out on Thursday 29 October 2026. Sharon Rooney and Joanne McNally, both Faithfuls, tied on four votes each at the episode eight round table of Celebrity Traitors, and the deciding vote fell to King Kenny, a Traitor.
Joanne has been under pressure since episode seven’s mission, when she reacted strongly to comments from Miranda Hart, and Bash Croft and Sharon both named her as their top suspect in confessionals, according to LADbible. Michael Sheen and James Blunt have been looking at Sharon instead, according to CultureCues.
Whichever of them goes, five of the seven players banished so far will have been Faithfuls. The last was Jerry Hall in episode seven. “Players, you just banished a legend,” said Claudia Winkleman. Only Richard E. Grant and Hannah Fry have been caught as Traitors.
Is Celebrity Traitors on tonight, and what time?
Not until Thursday. Celebrity Traitors is not on at the weekend or from Monday to Wednesday, and episode nine is on Thursday 29 October 2026 at 8 pm on BBC One.
Episode nine starts with the result of the tied vote and runs for 1 hour 4 minutes, until 9.04 pm, according to the BBC listing. The final follows on Friday 30 October, from 8 pm to 9.20 pm.
What time is Celebrity Traitors Uncloaked on?
Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked is on BBC One straight after each episode. After episode nine on Thursday 29 October 2026, it starts at 9.05 pm and runs for 23 minutes, according to the BBC listing.
Uncloaked is the companion show hosted by Ed Gamble, who picks over each episode with the players who have just left. It is on BBC iPlayer too, and the BBC is putting bonus episodes on BBC Sounds.
What day is The Traitors on, and is it on every night?
Celebrity Traitors is on Thursdays and Fridays at 8 pm on BBC One. It is not on every night, and it is not on at the weekend.
The BBC confirmed that pattern on 15 September, ahead of the series launching on 1 October, and it has held for all eight episodes so far. It is a change if you are coming from the first series, which went out on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
What channel is The Traitors on, and where can you watch it?
Celebrity Traitors is on BBC One, and every episode is on BBC iPlayer afterwards, which is where to watch it if you miss it live.
Episodes one to eight are all on iPlayer now, along with Traitor or Faithful? Claudia Decides, a short companion piece the BBC dropped after the opening episode. You need a TV licence to watch live or on iPlayer. There is no paid subscription on top.
If you miss episode nine on Thursday, BBC Three repeats it on Sunday 1 November at 9 pm, according to the BBC listing.

Who are the Traitors in Celebrity Traitors 2026?
The three Traitors left in Celebrity Traitors 2026 are Maya Jama, James Acaster and King Kenny. Richard E. Grant and Hannah Fry were the other two, and both were banished.
Claudia Winkleman picked Jama and Grant in episode one. Acaster was recruited in episode two, after he and Amol Rajan were made to plead their cases face to face, knowing one of them would be murdered.
Grant did not last long after that. Richard E. Grant was banished in episode three, and Fry was recruited the same night. She was banished in episode five, and King Kenny replaced her.
Jama won a Shield in episode six’s mission, and in episode seven Acaster delivered the line that finished off Ross Kemp. In episode eight, the Faithful picked all three Traitors as the players they trusted most, and Kenny walked away with the dagger.
Which takes all three Traitors into the final week, trusted more than ever by the Faithful who are meant to be hunting them.
Who is King Kenny on Celebrity Traitors?
King Kenny is YouTuber Kenny Ojuederie, and he is one of the three current Traitors in Celebrity Traitors 2026. He is 29.
He is a member of Beta Squad, the YouTube collective whose members include Chunkz and Niko Omilana, and he has also boxed on the crossover circuit. He was recruited in episode five, after Hannah Fry’s banishment, and he was the one spraying the perfume for the yawn murder that killed Ross Kemp.
In episode eight he won the dagger, which gives him two votes at the round table, and he now holds the deciding vote between Sharon Rooney and Joanne McNally.
He is not Kenny Dalglish, the former Liverpool manager who shares the nickname. If you have seen that name attached to the show, that is the mix-up.
Who is in the Celebrity Traitors 2026 cast, and who is still in?
Twenty-one celebrities started series two of Celebrity Traitors. Ten are still playing after episode eight, though Sharon Rooney or Joanne McNally is about to be banished. Five have been murdered and six have been banished.

Two of the eleven removed were Traitors: Richard E. Grant in episode three and Hannah Fry in episode five. Every murder has taken a Faithful, which is how the game is meant to work.
How much have they won so far?
Of a possible £100,000 for charity
The players took the full £15,000 from the shipwreck, £5,000 of a possible £10,000 from the graveyard, £6,000 from the crypts and £8,000 from episode five’s Death Parade.
Episodes six and seven added more, but neither total has been published, and we have not found a figure for episode eight’s Field of Screams mission either. Some recaps put the running total at £46,000, but the BBC has not published a figure, so we are holding at the amount we can confirm until it does.
The pot goes to the players’ chosen charities rather than to the winner.
How many episodes of Celebrity Traitors are there?
There are 10 episodes in this series of Celebrity Traitors. Eight have aired, so two are left: episode nine on Thursday 29 October and the final on Friday 30 October 2026.
That is one more than the first series, which ran to nine and ended with Alan Carr winning as a Traitor.
How many people watch Celebrity Traitors?
Episode eight of Celebrity Traitors, on Friday 23 October 2026, averaged 9.5 million viewers and peaked at 9.7 million, according to the BBC. The launch episode has now reached 15.41 million over seven days, the biggest TV audience of 2026 so far.
Episode eight took 57.2% of everyone watching TV at the time, the BBC said, as PA reported. That was a small dip on episode seven, which averaged 10 million, peaked at 10.3 million and took 59.9%, as reported by the Evening Standard. The series two premiere averaged 8.9 million on the night, and episode two averaged 8.5 million.
The 15.41 million comes from Barb, the official ratings body, and counts everyone who watched the launch within seven days, on TV sets, computers, tablets and phones.

When is the Celebrity Traitors final?
The Celebrity Traitors 2026 final is on Friday 30 October at 8 pm on BBC One, and it runs until 9.20 pm.
Friday 30 October, 8 pm to 9.20 pm
BBC One and iPlayer. At 80 minutes, it is being billed as the longest Traitors episode yet, with Uncloaked straight after.
That keeps the Thursday and Friday pattern the series has run since 1 October, and it lands a week earlier than last year. The first series finished on 6 November 2025.
When and where was Celebrity Traitors 2026 filmed?
Celebrity Traitors 2026 was filmed at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands, in May and June 2026. It is the same castle used for every UK series of The Traitors.
Filming finished months before the series aired, which is why nobody in the castle knows anything you don’t. The companion show, The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked, is back too, hosted by Ed Gamble.
Correction: an earlier version of this page described King Kenny as football manager Kenny Dalglish. He is YouTuber Kenny Ojuederie. We have corrected the page.
