The Celebrity Traitors star Julie Hesmondhalgh has explained why televisions are banned from the contestants' bedrooms.
The participants are holed up in accommodation in Scotland while they are working on the hit BBC game show and they are banned from watching TV during filming - now Julie, who was banished by the Faithful earlier in the series, has explained the noise from a TV could give the game away and reveal who the Traitors are because they stay up later filming extra scenes than the rest of the cast.
She told Good Housekeeping magazine: "You weren’t allowed televisions because of ways that you can ascertain who went to bed latest."
Julie revealed producers also banned the cast from using Spotify in case they used the app to communicate with each other, she added: "You’re not allowed Spotify because you can talk to each other through it."
The Coronation Street legend revealed she relied on a "really good book" when she was finished filming each day and she had extra praise for the show's catering team because the food provided at the caste was very tasty.
She said: "I really, really liked the food in the castle," Julie share. "Me and Romesh [Ranganathan] were the two vegans of the time there, but I dropped off a little bit and went veggie during it.
"But we were very well catered for. There were many dietary needs and I’m very grateful to the caterers."
It come as it was revealed fans of the show are in for a huge shock in Thursday night's (29.10.26) episode which features a "sensational turn of events" that no-one saw coming.
The last episode of the show was left on a cliff-hanger as fans were left waiting to find out whether Joanne McNally or Sharon Rooney would be banished from the castle with King Kenny set to reveal his double vote at the round table.
Now a new report suggests a huge twist is on the way.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Just when you think you know exactly how the series will play out, there’s another sensational turn of events.
"It’s one which no one is likely to see coming - the producers of the show certainly didn’t predict it. The likes of this has never been seen on the show before, and may never be seen again.
"It all adds up to make the semi-final an absolutely unmiss-able episode and the perfect lead into the finale on Friday."
