The Celebrity Traitors 2026 winners revealed
The Celebrity Traitors 2026 ended with a dramatic conclusion on Friday night (30.10.26).
Romesh Ranganathan and Sebastian Croft have been crowned the winners of The Celebrity Traitors.
The pair, who played as Faithfuls, eliminated the last remaining Traitor, King Kenny, before deciding to end the game and split the £83,000 prize pot between their chosen charities during the dramatic conclusion to the BBC's game of deceit, betrayal and backstabbing on Friday night (30.10.26).
Heartstopper's Sebastian, 24, revealed his share of the winnings will go to Choose Love, an organisation that he previously volunteered for.
He said: "The money will be going to refugees and displaced people, but predominantly queer refugees and displaced people, and they are just the best organisation."
Comedian Romesh, 48, will donate his share to the Refugee Council.
He said: "I am playing for the Refugee Council, helping displaced people who need help, and it's a cause that's very close to my heart, so I'm very, very grateful for this."
Reflecting on his victory alongside Romesh, Sebastian said: "That was just incredible."
Getting emotional, he added: "This might actually be the best day of my life."
Meanwhile, Romesh admitted he hoped his family would be proud of his achievement, particularly his 11-year-old son, Charlie, who encouraged him to sign up for The Celebrity Traitors, hosted by 54-year-old Claudia Winkleman.
He said: "I just really hope my mum's proud, and also my youngest son, Charlie, who wanted me to come on the show. Dad won."
The funnyman then joked: "Please show me some respect."
The nail-biting final initially saw singer James Blunt, 52, about to be declared the winner alongside Romesh and Sebastian, but he was ultimately banished by his fellow remaining Faithfuls.
Earlier in the episode, Traitors King Kenny, 29, and Love Island host Maya Jama, 32, saw their successful game of deception unravel after their decision to "murder" actor Michael Sheen, 57, raised suspicions among the other players.
Former Little Mix singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock, 35, was banished at the final round table after a series of missteps, including voting for Romesh at the final round table after being unable to bring herself to vote for Maya, led her fellow Faithfuls to believe she was secretly a Traitor.
It left Kenny as the only remaining Traitor to head into the tense final Firepit, where contestants had to decide whether to end the game or continue banishing players in the hope of exposing another Traitor.
The vote reached a deadlock between Kenny and James, with Romesh and Sebastian ultimately deciding to banish the YouTube star.
After believing they had eliminated the final Traitor, Romesh and Sebastian opted to end the game.
However, James remained suspicious of Romesh and forced another banishment to give the Faithfuls one last decision.
Romesh and Sebastian decided to vote out the You're Beautiful hitmaker, and they went on to claim the £83,000 prize pot for their respective charities.
