Romesh Ranganathan 'Feels Really Bad' As He Reflects On What Went Down At The Celebrity Traitors Final

Romesh Ranganathan has admitted he doesn’t feel great about how things played out in the Celebrity Traitors final.

Last week, viewers saw the stand-up comedian and Heartstopper actor Sebastian Croft winning season two of The Celebrity Traitors on behalf of the Faithfuls.

However, it wasn’t smooth sailing to get there, having to banish not one but two Traitors on their final day in the castle – not to mention a load of fellow Faithfuls along the way – in order to split the cash prize for their chosen charities.

In the final round, both Romesh and Sebastian had been up for ending the game alongside chart-topping singer James Blunt, but because the comic had tried to send the You’re Beautiful star home earlier in the evening – only for Sebastian to talk him round – he wanted to push forward with one final vote, leading to his own demise.

During an interview on Monday’s edition of The One Show, Romesh said: “I feel really bad about that, and it’s gonna stay with me for a long time, what happened.”

Setting the record straight about where his friendship with James stands now, amid speculation about supposed tension between the two of them, Romesh added: “I just wanna get this out in the open. James Blunt and I are friends, OK? It’s all good. Although he did text me the other day saying, ‘I know where you live’.”

He continued: “I felt so bad because – in that moment – [Sebastian] convinced me [James was a Faithful]. He said, ‘Listen, I think he’s a Faithful’. And I trusted [Sebastian], and we were like, ‘Let’s end the game’, and when [James] decided to go again, I was like, ‘Oh no!’.”

While Romesh has cleared up claims about his friendship with James, fellow contestant James Acaster has also been speaking out about reports of a rift between himself and some of the other comics on the series.
