Mark Bonnar regrets being "so involved" in Celebrity Traitors.
The Line of Duty star was banished on Thursday's (23.10.25) episode of the show after his fate was decided through the Chest Of Chance following a voting deadlock between himself and David Olusoga and he admitted he'd have played the game differently if he got chance again because he thinks being vocal meant he was singled out.
He said: "I would have played it slightly differently with hindsight; not being quite so involved, not being quite so enthusiastic, wide eyed and forthcoming with theories.
"Claudia said, 'You know, remember, keep your eyes open at all times', or something like that.
"I was certainly doing that in observing everyone, not sure I was subtle enough about that which possibly put a massive target on my back!"
Despite being disappointed by his exit, Mark hopes it was a "good TV moment" after becoming the first ever contestant to be banished by the Chest of Chance.
He said: "I'm really glad David's a Faithful and I really hope he doesn't go. I think he's a real asset to them and I hope suspicions about him disappear very quickly. That I can't see happening though.
"Having that roundtable decided by the Chest of Chance was very dramatic and it was very emotional.
"I got so caught up in it all, but I hope it was a good TV moment. Even though I was sad to go, I thought, well, they've never done that before!"
The 56-year-old star learned the identity of Traitors Jonathan Ross, Alan Carr and Cat Burns on spin-off show Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked and couldn't hide his shock and fury.
He exclaimed: "'Jonathan f***ing Ross! Well played he is really good at it.
"Man, Cat, she is good. I thought she was 100% faithful. This is exhausting!
"Oh, it's Alan. Well played though. You know what, on our way out from the table, I was beside him and I glance at him and he was like [head down] and I never mentioned that again."
Sir Stephen Fry also exited the game in Thursday's episode, while viewers will have to wait until next week to find out if the Traitors have opted to kill Lucy Beaumont, Kate Garraway or Nick Mohammed.
