## Key points

- Kenny’s deciding vote was held back for six days.
- Viewers criticised the latest cliffhanger as pointless.
- Thursday’s episode drew 10.03 million overnight viewers.

## Summary

A cliffhanger on *Celebrity Traitors* left viewers waiting six days to learn whether Joanne McNally or Sharon Rooney was banished, after King Kenny’s deciding vote was withheld until the next episode. The ending prompted complaints that the programme was stretching suspense too far, renewing debate about how the show handles its biggest moments.

The Round Table vote stood at four for Rooney and three for McNally, leaving Kenny with a deciding double vote. It was the second Friday in a row the BBC had ended an episode before resolving a key event; an earlier cliffhanger delayed revealing that Ross Kemp had been murdered. Thursday’s episode drew 10.03 million viewers overnight, compared with 2.40 million for *EastEnders*, and the final two episodes are scheduled for Thursday and Friday at 8pm.
