Miranda Hart's 'Celebrity Traitors' Meltdown and Hannah Fry's Suspect Slip-up Steal the Show
The comedian's dramatic reaction to a challenge and a mathematician's linguistic error have viewers buzzing.
Celebrity Traitors contestant Miranda Hart had viewers in stitches during a recent episode when she dramatically vomited during a challenge involving unpleasant smells. The comedian, known for her quick wit on the show, was participating in a mission to summon spirits, which required contestants to search through a foul-smelling toilet for a hidden necklace.
Hart struggled with the odor, announcing to the group, "I am properly retching, I think I might be sick." She then proceeded to vomit, with fellow contestant Ross Kemp humorously remarking, "It is a little bit of poo, it's not going to kill you," while Sebastian Croft countered, "It stinks Ross."
Fans took to social media to praise Hart's candid reaction, with comments like "This is so unhinged because not Miranda throwing up during a challenge, they absolutely ate with this line up, constant cinema" and "Miranda Hart vomiting in a shack at the smell of poo while Ross Kemp laughs in the background was not on my 2026 bingo card but I'll take it." Another viewer noted, "Them directing Miranda Hart to go be sick in the haunted toilet I’M ACTUALLY CRYING."
Hart's memorable moment came as suspicions mounted against mathematician Hannah Fry. Hart had previously voiced her theories that Fry was a traitor, sharing her suspicions with other contestants. However, without enough evidence, the group ultimately voted to banish Julie Hesmondhalgh.
Hesmondhalgh was revealed to be a Faithful, leaving Fry to face scrutiny. Fry, who was recruited by fellow traitors Maya Jama and James Acaster, narrowly defended herself at the round table. Despite her defense, viewers noticed a potential slip-up in her reasoning.
While explaining that 'clever' people are often wrongly banished, Fry referred to loyal contestants as "the Faithfuls" rather than using inclusive language like "we" or "us Faithfuls." This phrasing led viewers to accuse her of "othering herself from the Faithfuls" and "digging her own grave."
Reactions on social media highlighted this linguistic anomaly. "Why did no one pick up on Hannah saying '& then the faithfuls kill them'? They banish, not kill, & in other series someone - civilian or celebrity - would have picked up on that," one user commented. Another noted, "So no one picked up on Hannah repeatedly referring to the faithfuls as a different group to her?!"
The episode also featured the banishment of Coronation Street actress Julie Hesmondhalgh, who was ultimately revealed to be a Faithful. This decision came after Fry, a mathematician and broadcaster, faced intense questioning.
