In episode three of "Celebrity Traitors 2026," acting legend Richard E. Grant was banished from the castle after being accused of revealing his status as a Traitor during an earlier conversation with comedian Joe Lycett. Despite attempts by some contestants like Julie Hesmondhalgh to defend him, most Faithfuls voted to remove Grant. Additionally, American actress Myha’la was also banished despite claiming she was a Faithful, which inadvertently benefited the Traitors. The episode concluded without any murders taking place as the remaining Traitors chose to recruit mathematician Hannah Fry instead.

Story summary
In the new series of BBC One's *Celebrity Traitors*, broadcaster Amol Rajan was the first to be kicked off after being labeled a faithful, while actor Richard E Grant was dubbed the "lord of chaos" by Rajan. The show features 21 celebrity contestants split into two teams: faithfule and traitors, with the latter aiming to secretly eliminate the former. During the first episode, broadcast on Thursday, Grant revealed he was a traitor early on, causing suspicion among his fellow players, including Rajan, who admitted it was "horribly intense." After facing scrutiny for his premature confession, Grant was eventually voted off in Episode 3, with journalist Amol Rajan describing his treatment of Grant as overly harsh and stating he would do things differently if given a second chance.
