Jonathan Ross has been eliminated from The Celebrity Traitors.

The 64-year-old TV star has become the first Celebrity Traitor, and the sixth contestant, to be Banished at the Round Table.

Asked if the show was everything he expected, Jonathan told the BBC: "It was much more intense than I expected, and much trickier than I expected.

"I think the one thing I've come away with is knowing that one of the reasons I love watching this show so much is that it's so unpredictable, and one of the things about living the experience was it was equally, if not even more unpredictable than I thought it might be. It’s like no other show on TV, and it's like no other experience."

Jonathan actually relished the experience of being a Traitor on the hit TV show.

He explained: "It was like walking into my TV screen and suddenly living the things I’d loved watching. Putting on the green cloak and catching sight of myself in it for the first time was a lovely treat, and I really think it suited me. I don't know if that's a good thing, that you realise you look good as a Traitor - I might have one made for myself to wear around the house.

"My fellow Traitors were amazing, because Cat [Burns], I only knew a little but I really like her, and I thought, ‘Oh, she's going to be a cool Traitor’, and then when Alan [Carr] came in, I thought, ‘this is going to be fun’ because I love Alan and Alan is like one of the funniest men I've ever met in my life, so to have him there with me already made me feel more comfortable."

Jonathan particularly enjoyed the experience of spending time with the likes of Alan and Sir Stephen Fry.

The chat-show host said: "The highlight of the experience for me was probably Alan Carr who just said so many funny things. Stephen [Fry] was kind, delightful, and of course, he's a marvellous man.

"Once, while he was staring at a grandfather clock, he just turned to Alan and said, ‘tempus fugit’ and Alan went ‘good for you’. Moments like that were very funny."
