## Key points

- Sebastian Croft and Romesh Ranganathan won as Faithfuls.
- Acaster’s Traitor reveal shifted the game.
- The series attracted 15 million viewers.

## Summary

Faithfuls Sebastian Croft and Romesh Ranganathan won the second series of The Celebrity Traitors after Traitors King Kenny and Maya Jama were banished in the finale. The result followed James Acaster’s admission that he had been secretly recruited as a Traitor, which disrupted their run and helped turn the game around.

Acaster had reluctantly accepted the role after Richard E. Grant and Jama recruited him, and Jama later chose to leave after Michael Sheen worked out her identity. Faithful James Blunt was also banished despite his confident suspicions. The series drew 15 million viewers, though the article says its Traitor storyline struggled to build momentum and the finale felt underwhelming.
