Celebrity Traitors Series 2 Episode Guide: What Happened Each Week
Episode 8: Miranda murdered, the dagger and a tied vote
The Traitors murdered Miranda Hart. In the mission, three players could earn a special power, and the three chosen turned out to be the three Traitors. The power was a dagger worth a double vote at the Round Table, and Maya and James gave it to Kenny. The vote then tied between Sharon and Joanne, and the episode ended before Kenny’s deciding vote was revealed.
Episode 7: Ross killed in plain sight and Jerry banished
Ross Kemp became the first player murdered in plain sight, after the Traitors sprayed a room with perfume and got him to yawn. James Acaster got him to yawn by asking if he was boring him. At the Round Table, the Faithfuls banished Jerry Hall for causing chaos, and she revealed she was a Faithful.
Episode 6: Joe Lycett banished
The Faithfuls realised a recruitment had taken place and suspicion landed on Joe Lycett. He was banished and revealed he was a Faithful.
Episode 5: Rob Beckett murdered, Hannah Fry banished, Kenny recruited
The Traitors murdered Rob Beckett face to face after the hide-and-seek game. At the Round Table, the Faithfuls banished Hannah Fry, who revealed she was a Traitor, and the Traitors then recruited King Kenny.
Episode 4: Bella Ramsey murdered and Julie Hesmondhalgh banished
Bella Ramsey was murdered, and the Faithfuls banished Julie Hesmondhalgh, who revealed she was a Faithful. That night, the Traitors played a hide-and-seek game in the crypts with four players, with one crypt protected by a key.
Episode 3: Richard E. Grant banished and Hannah Fry recruited
The Faithfuls banished Richard E. Grant, which exposed the first Traitor. Instead of a murder, Maya and James Acaster seduced Hannah Fry into joining the Traitors. At that night’s Round Table, Myha’la was banished and revealed she was a Faithful.
Episodes 1 and 2: Maya and Richard chosen, Amol murdered
Claudia named Maya Jama and Richard E. Grant as the first Traitors. The Traitors then had to recruit one of two players, Amol Rajan or James Acaster. They recruited James and murdered Amol.

How Celebrity Traitors Works
A group of celebrities is split into Traitors and Faithfuls. The Traitors know each other and secretly murder one Faithful each night. The Faithfuls try to find and banish the Traitors at a nightly Round Table vote. The team earns money for the prize pot by completing missions, and the pot is split among the winners for charity. If a Traitor survives to the end, the Faithfuls lose the prize and the Traitor wins it.
