Tom Daley 'gutted' to be murdered on Celebrity Traitors
Tom Daley was "gutted" to be the second murder victim on Celebrity Traitors, while Niko Omilana and Tameka Empson also disappointed to be banished.
Tom Daley was "gutted" to be the second murder victim on Celebrity Traitors.
The Olympic diver was chosen by Traitors Jonathan Ross, Alan Carr and Cat Burns to be the second person they did away with in the competition, and the 31-year-old star correctly assumed he had been picked because the trio would suss them out eventually.
Seeing the note informing him of his murder, Tom said: "Oh dear. Look at that. Well that didn't take long did it?
"I am gutted to be leaving the game. I think I was murdered because people will see me as a threat and they think I'll weasel them out eventually.
"Now I guess I'll go and do one final dive into my grave."
Earlier, Jonathan had summed up the Traitors' deliberations when he said: "He's super smart, lots of people will eventually get on to us and maybe we can steer the blame towards another Faithful."
Faithful Stephen Fry was stunned by what happened.
He exclaimed: "Tom's gone! I Don't believe it, he was next on my list as a Traitor to be honest."
And Clare Balding was left "furious" with the news of the murder.
She said: "I was furious because I thought how can Tom not be in this room? Added to the fact I've known him since I was 12 years old, I'm bereft."
Meanwhile, Alan was delighted by the group's reaction to the murder.
He bluntly said in a confessional: "It was just the kind of impact I wanted - Where's Tom? Why Tom? Well he's been murdered, deal with it."
Earlier in the show, picking up from last week's cliffhanger, Niko Omilana was mistakenly banished by the group after being incorrectly identified as a Traitor.
He said afterwards: "I just wanna say I can’t believe I’m out so quickly but it’s been an honour getting to know every single one of you, you’re all great people. I can now reveal this whole time I’ve been honest and I’m a Faithful."
Clare questioned afterwards: "Clare – How stupid are we? Seriously, how did that happen?
Stephen mused to the group: "It was more than half of us [who voted for him].
"I think we should at least consider what he said about being set up -or we are idiots."
The show ended with another incorrect banishment when EastEnders actress Tameka Empson received four votes from her fellow contestants who thought she was a Traitor.
She said: "It has been really lovely meeting all of you, it really has been. I just feels tunned if I'm honest. I am a Faithful."
Last week, Paloma Faith was the first star to be murdered on Celebrity Traitors.
