Celia Imrie, who was in Thursday Murder Club, had a suspicion that Jonathan Ross might be a bad guy in the BBC series Celebrity Traitors, in which Welsh singer Charlotte Church was “murdered” yesterday.
Veteran actress Celia Imrie told Jonathan Ross she has “a bit of a crush” on him during last night’s Celebrity Traitors.
The performer, who participated in Thursday Murder Club this year, admitted that Ross, 64, might be a traitor. Following the roundtable discussion on Wednesday’s drama-packed episode, Imrie, 73, voted to fire him.
Imrie, who has worked in numerous well-known dramas and films for the past five decades, said, “This is a little tricky because I have a bit of a crush on you right now, but I put you Jonathan because I believe you have the chutzpah and brilliance to be a traitor.”
Presenter Claudia Winkleman declared the banishment would be left to chance after two rounds of voting ended with Scottish actor Mark Bonnar and historian David Olusoga receiving equal numbers of votes.

Following a roundtable discussion where contestants debate the identities of the secret traitors who meet at night to plot their next “murder,” the episode ended before the banishment’s conclusion, in an effort to extort the charity prize pot from the faithfuls.
In a number of scenes with Imrie, including one where she audibly passed wind while on a stressful job in a cabin, which caused the audience’s fellow cast members to chuckle all over the place.
Another Imrie clip, which featured her improvising to the sound of a banshee for a challenge, was made into a meme.

When comedian Lucy Beaumont said, “You know what you do in a well, don’t you?” before the challenge, she replied, “Put the pussy in.”
Until Imrie’s confession, none of the Traitors – Ross, Alan Carr, and Cat Burns – had really even been suspected – but is their time running out and are the Faithfuls finally onto them?
Earlier in the episode, Welsh singer Charlotte Church became the latest contestant to be “murdered” by the traitors – comedian Alan Carr, TV presenter Jonathan Ross and singer Cat Burns – who had plotted their next move during last Thursday’s episode.
