Celebrity Traitors quickly became one of the most talked about TV shows this year and tonight’s final will see the remaining five contestants compete to win the jackpot for their chosen charity, with Alan Carr, Cat Burns, Joe Marler, Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga still in the game.

Ahead of the highly anticipated finale on Thursday, 6 November, it has been revealed which celebs have the biggest bank balance. It may come as no surprise that long-standing talk show presenter Jonathan Ross is one of the celebs at the top of the list.

Jonathan Ross’s production firms filed their accounts with Companies House and revealed he has £1,462,005 in reserves. These are made up from BFQ Ltd, which has £768,607, while Hot Sauce T.V. Ltd has £693,398. The companies paid approximately £181,500 in corporation tax, which suggests a £726,000 profit for the year.

Another celeb high up on the rich list is Alan Carr. Despite his UK firms being dissolved, it has been reported that his overall net worth would be upwards of £20 million.

Cat Burns, who has made it to tonight’s final as one of the last standing Traitors alongside Alan, also has an impressive bank balance. The singer has two music-related firms: CB Collaborations Ltd accounts, which reveal an overall profit of £237,817, and Homegrown Live Ltd which shows a profit of £192,790, giving a profit of £430,607 for the last year.

Comedian Nick Mohammed’s Riddikulus Ltd has £843,338 in equity and reportedly paid £32,506 in corporation tax last year, suggesting a profit of £130,000.

Fan favourite of the show, former rugby union player Joe Marler, might have retired last year but he still boasts a hefty bank balance. Joe Marler Ltd had reported reserves of £746,490 last year.

The BBC show released a teaser trailer earlier this week, giving fans a sneak peek at the tense finale to come. The clip saw Alan, Cat, Joe, Nick and David walk through the eerie halls of the Traitors ‘ castle as a clock strikes twelve.

Sitting at the final roundtable, we watch as host Claudia Winkleman tells them: “Players, this is it. Who can you trust? Who is on your side? For the final time then, the floor is yours.”

Earlier today, ex contestants Kate Garraway and Clare Balding reflected on their Celebrity Traitors feud live on Good Morning Britain, with Kate accusing Clare of calling her a Traitor behind her back. Clare interrupted: “She kept arguing with me Ed, she kept arguing if somebody put your name down – I never put your name down.”

To which Kate fired back: “But you told everyone you thought it was me?”

After Clare said that she said that at the roundtable, Kate responded: “Jonathan and David both said it was you. Let’s carry on.”

Cat Burns appeared to give away a huge Traitors secret ahead of the the big final, which is due to air tonight in the UK. She appeared on BBC Radio 2 where she caught up with presenter Scott Mills and discussed her new album and, of course, The Traitors.

Tonight’s final will see the remaining five contestants compete to win the jackpot for their chosen charity, with Alan Carr, Cat Burns, Joe Marler, Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga still in the game.

Speaking about her experience on the BBC show, Cat said: “I’m really glad I did it, it’s such a crazy experience. It’s crazy that we are just a bunch of adults who want to go and play a murder mystery game. It’s just so fun.”

Cat added: “I don’t think I am that great of a liar, my mum watches me and she says ‘I can just tell that you’re lying”.

While discussing the show, Cat appeared to hint that she knew who won the show, and it could be her. Scott playfully asked, “You don’t really know who wins, you’ve not seen the edit, they could have changed it, a different person could have won”.

Cat suspiciously responds, “Could they?” in a high-pitched voice and laughing. Obviously, her response it completely down to interpretation, but any reaction is likely to send fans into a frenzy this close to the final.

Cat was also asked what her ritual was for watching the show, to which she answered: “I watch, usually through one eye, covered with the volume really low.”

Shaughna Phillips has spoken about one health issue she is experiencing in the aftermath of giving birth to her second daughter, Sofia Phillips-Webb, who she shares with Billy Webb

As Shaughna Phillips settles into life as a mum of two after welcoming her second daughter, the former Love Island star has revealed she is facing an unexpected postpartum setback.

The 31-year-old gave birth to her baby girl, Sofia Phillips-Webb, on Halloween. She referred to her daughter’s birth as “magical”, adding that it left her feeling “completed” in ways she “didn’t even know was possible”.

However, the reality star admitted she is experiencing issues with postpartum swelling. Shaughna uploaded a video of her severely swollen feet to Instagram, joking: “The flip flops are staying for a while longer it seems”.

In the clip she rested her foot on a baby chair and wiggled her toes to show how puffed up they had become. Postpartum swelling is common as the body works to flush out excess fluids from pregnancy. While it eases up for most new mums within a couple of weeks, in some cases it can last up to six.

Shaughna announced Sofia’s birth in an emotional Instagram reel where she revealed that her daughter weighed 7lb 4oz, gushing: “Our littlest love has completed us in ways I didn’t even know was possible. The dreamiest experience for our perfect girl.”

She shared a photo of herself, her boyfriend Billy Webb, and their newborn, adding: “So many amazing photos to share with you all and I cannot get over how magical that experience was. I’ll have 20 more please!”

In another post, she revealed that November 6 had been her daughter’s actual due date, writing on a sweet snap of her sleeping baby: “Happy due date my darling”. She later debuted a gold necklace engraved with both her daughters’ names.

Sofia is Shaughna’s second child with her partner Billy, who was jailed in 2023 for drug offences. The pair also share a daughter called Lucia, who is two.

Billy was released from prison just before Sofia’s birth. Shaughna previously revealed that she conceived Sofia during one of Billy’s brief visits home, and explained that she had been tracking her ovulation and was shocked at how quickly it happened.

She said: “I was like, ‘You know what? Why not? Let’s just see’. And literally, the next day, I said to Billy, ‘I think I’m pregnant.’” Although she became a mum under difficult circumstances, and has had to take her young daughter Lucia to a prison visiting room just so the girl could see her dad, Shaughna has been determined to keep her family together.

The mum previously admitted: “I never would have chosen this life for my daughter. I don’t think it hit me what was happening until I got into the building. I was so nervous, but it was never a question for me. I always knew I was going to take Lucia to visit her dad regardless of what was going on between us at the time.”

The reality star also shared that she was worried for Lucia in the run up to Sofia’s birth, explaining: “I was hoping for it, but then the second I found out, I instantly felt guilty for Lucia. I was like, ‘Oh my God, what have I done? I don’t want you to ever think that you were being replaced or anything like that’. It literally breaks my heart when I think about it.”

Nick Mohammed is currently showing his calculated mind on the Celebrity Traitors, but his remarks about the upcoming Ted Lasso series have sparked a frenzy

Nick Mohammed’s detective skills might have got him to The Celebrity Traitors final, but he’s not bad at leaving cryptic clues either.

The actor and comedian, 45, is one of five celebrities in contention to win thousands of pounds for charity on Celebrity Traitors. However, recent comments he made about another show he’s known for have sent fans into a frenzy.

Nick played ‘Wonder Kid’ football coach Nate Shelley in the first three seasons of Apple TV’s Ted Lasso, but given how the last episode ended, it’s not clear if his character will be returning in the upcoming fourth instalment.

Fans have been on tenterhooks after Nate and Ted’s relationship soured. And now, in a new update, Nick has teased a possible return amid rumours of a complete overhaul of the cast.

With filming of the new series already under way and a host of new characters set to enter the chaos of AFC Richmond, what is yet to be confirmed is who of the original cast will be staying on.

Speaking to Collider about his position on the show, Nick insisted that he was not able to speak about what could be next for Nate, remaining tight-lipped – for the most part.

“I think sworn to secrecy is about right,” he said. “Look, I know that it’s about a whole different set of characters. I can’t even talk about it without giving anything away! We’ll have to see.”

Nick did confirm cast members were on set shooting scenes for the news series and that he was “socialising with them all”. However, this does not necessarily mean he will be in it.

The star previously hinted at a fourth season after the third ended in May 2023. Fans are understandably keen to find out as much information as they can.

On social media, one viewer said: “Ted Lasso season 3 ending was perfect, some of you just can’t handle not everything is going to be happy. That being said, I’m still excited for season 4. I just hope they don’t butcher the show.”

Another fan joked: “I need my wonder kid and his girl back!” Whilst a third chimed in: “Season 4 of Ted Lasso will either save my soul or completely destroy it, there is no in between.”

Nick’s comments come as he continues to sniff out the remaining dishonest players in the latest series of the BBC smash hit The Celebrity Traitors. Having reached the final five, Nick is hoping he will not be banished before he can bag thousands of pounds for charity, alongside his fellow faithful.

The Irish presenter is judging this year’s ‘Top of the Tree’ competition in celebration of her favourite time of year.

Brits are going bigger and better than ever with their Christmas decorations this year, much to Laura Whitmore’s joy. A recent poll has shown British households are supersizing their Christmas decorations with nearly half putting up two or more trees, with the living room, dining room and hallway the most popular rooms to decorate.

Many households also spending more time and money on deciding how to decorate and organise them, with over doing so more than they did 10 years ago because it makes them happier. Others added that they want to spend time making a welcoming space for loved ones.

What’s more, a third think it makes their home look better in snaps. The luxury artificial Christmas tree and décor brand Balsam Hill conducted the research to launch its recent competition to find the UK’s most talented, self-taught tree-decorator.

The winner will design a festive wonderland for presenter and Christmas enthusiast, Laura Whitmore. The Irish media personality said, “Christmas has always been my favourite time of year, so I’m incredibly excited to be judging this competition and to help celebrate all the amazing talent out there.”

She added: “I always collect a new bauble from every place I visit, so when I decorate, I’m reliving all those beautiful memories.

“That’s what I love most about Christmas decorating- it’s so personal. I can’t wait to see how people across the UK express their stories and style through their trees.”

The study found as many as 18% will have their tree up before the end of November. They’ll spend an average of four hours ornamenting the trees along with other rooms in the house, with Londoners taking a marathon 5.27 hours.

Meanwhile, men were more likely to spend the most time and money decorating, compared to women, spending 4.35hrs vs 3.68hrs and £79.28 vs £49.69 respectively.

This year, less than one in five of Gen-Z will be using an angel as the topper this year, with the star deemed more popular for 47%. However, tinsel is making a comeback with 27% of Gen-Z, 31% of Millennials and 44% of Boomers planning on using it on their tree this year.

For more than a third, decorating their home for Christmas is one of the most important parts of the season, and often involves putting Christmas music on, sipping festive drinks and wearing a Christmas jumper to set the mood.

Mac Harman, CEO of Balsam Hill, says, “We’ve seen a clear shift in Christmas decorating to become a significant creative outlet and an opportunity to stand out. It’s no longer just a hobby; for many, it’s a creative performance where their tree is the star.

“Our research shows that Christmas is now a showcase, and many are honing their craft so much that they’re an amateur interiors expert for friends and family.

“Our ‘Top of The Tree’ competition is here to give these talented individuals the spotlight they deserve. We want to celebrate the passion and skill that goes into creating a memorable Christmas.”
