Who has left Celebrity Traitors in 2025?

The elimination tracker below shows the full 19-person removal order, spanning Episode 2 through the Episode 9 finale. Each entry notes whether the contestant was banished by public vote or murdered by the Traitors overnight.

Eliminations

Murdered by Traitors

The Traitors eliminated six contestants through night-time murders: Paloma Faith (Episode 2), Tom Daley (Episode 3), Ruth Codd (Episode 4), Charlotte Church (Episode 5), Joe Wilkinson (Episode 6), and Celia Imrie (Episode 8). In each case, the Traitors met privately and selected a victim before the next morning’s reveal.

Kicked out

Banishments occurred when the remaining contestants held a roundtable vote. Eliminated by group vote were: Niko Omilana, Tameka Empson, Clare Balding, Mark Bonnar, Stephen Fry, Jonathan Ross (the first Traitor to be banished), Kate Garraway, Cat Burns (the second Traitor to fall), and Joe Marler.

Alan Carr was revealed as the winner on 6 November 2025 during the Episode 9 finale. He was the last remaining Traitor and, when his role was exposed in the closing ceremony, he collected the entire prize pot. David Olusoga and Nick Mohammed finished as runners-up, having been Faithfuls all along.

Finale results

Traitors victory reveal

In a post-show moment that circulated widely online, Carr reportedly let slip that he had won as a Traitor hours after the finale filmed, ahead of the official broadcast. The Radio Times and Fandom Wiki both noted this as an early spoiler that the comedian had beaten the system from within.

Who has been kicked out of Celebrity Traitors?

Beyond the finale standings, the series eliminated 17 of 19 contestants through banishment votes or night murders. The full list above covers every removal in placement order.

Banishments

The banishment ritual saw the most dramatic reversals of the series. Notably, Jonathan Ross — one of the three Traitors — was voted out in Episode 7, becoming the first Traitor to be exposed. His removal came after a tense roundtable where fellow Traitors Alan Carr and Cat Burns appear to have redirected suspicion.

Most disloyal Traitor

By the numbers, Cat Burns lasted until the final episode before being banished, making her the longest-serving Traitor alongside Carr. Jonathan Ross was eliminated earlier in Episode 7, but neither showed clear signs of gameplay mistakes that outed them prematurely — Ross was simply caught by the Faithfuls at the roundtable.

Do they drink real alcohol on Traitors?

The Traitors franchise has always featured communal meals and evening gatherings in its Scottish castle setting. A common viewer curiosity is whether the alcohol served on screen is real or a prop substitute, especially given the social manipulation that plays out over drinks.

Rules contestants must follow

According to interviews with past contestants and lifestyle publications covering the series, the drinks on set are real alcoholic beverages, not theatrical substitutes. This is consistent with the format’s emphasis on authenticity — contestants are living together for weeks in close quarters, making genuine social bonds and betrayals.

“Paloma Faith’s experience in the castle came to an unexpected end when the Traitors ‘murdered’ her, marking her as the first casualty of the series.” — Radio Times For those interested in the wider Hunger Games universe, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes offers a deeper dive into the prequel.

For viewers who caught the finale live, Carr’s win felt like a genuine shock — the comedian had maintained a low profile throughout, letting his co-Traitors take the heat while building trust with the Faithfuls. That strategy paid off in a way no previous Traitors contestant had managed, turning the final episode into one of the most memorable moments in UK reality-television history.
