Ross Kemp’s suspicions bring comic relief to Celebrity Traitors opener
Ross Kemp amused viewers during the first episode of the new series of Celebrity Traitors by suspecting two fellow contestants of “murdering” him in plain sight. His jumpy reactions set a comic tone as the celebrities began the game, where contestants must conceal whether they are Traitors or Faithful.
After Bella Ramsey placed a sailor’s cap on Kemp, he asked if she had killed him; later, when Leigh-Anne Pinnock brushed his arm, he joked that he was paranoid. Maya Jama and Richard E Grant were chosen as Traitors, then selected James Acaster and Amol Rajan to join them in the church as they decided whom to murder and whom to recruit. Viewers online joked about Kemp’s suspicions, including one suggestion that the Traitors could kill him and leave Ramsey to take the blame.
