Secret Dinner Celebrates 'Traitors' Win Amidst Paranoia
Show champions Romesh Ranganathan and Sebastian Croft shared a clandestine meal, struggling to keep their victory concealed.
Romesh Ranganathan and Sebastian 'Bash' Croft, champions of "Celebrity Traitors," recently indulged in a celebratory dinner, the secrecy of which proved challenging for the duo. They were under strict instructions to keep their win under wraps for months following the show's filming.
Croft, 24, recounted their experience, stating, "We met for dinner in central London [a few weeks ago]." He described the internal struggle and paranoia they felt about being seen together, admitting the secret was "killing" him. Despite the risk, both Ranganathan and Croft managed to avoid revealing the outcome of the competition held at Ardross Castle.
The "Game Of Thrones" actor Croft, who pledged his share of the £83,000 prize money to the refugee charity Choose Love, spoke about the relief of no longer having to maintain the secret. He made these remarks on Ranganathan's Radio 2 show during a reunion with fellow contestants King Kenny and Leigh-Anne Pinnock.
Little Mix singer Pinnock, 35, shared her experience of participating in the show while pregnant, describing herself as feeling like "Super Woman." Actor Ross Kemp, 62, had suspected Pinnock of being a traitor early on, leading her to comment that the "EastEnders hardman was really gunning for me."
Show host Claudia Winkleman, 54, sent a recorded message for the reunion, praising all the contestants for their performances, calling them "phenomenal." James Acaster was noted as being absent from a reunion episode that aired Friday, alongside Maya Jama.
