Celia Imrie hasn't been in contact with her Celebrity Traitors co-stars
Celia Imrie says she hasn't seen much of her Celebrity Traitors co-stars since taking part in the first season of the BBC show last year.
Celia Imrie hasn't kept in touch with her Celebrity Traitors co-stars.
The 74-year-old actress took part in the first series of the BBC's smash-hit reality show last year but admits that she hasn't had much contact with other contestants since leaving the castle, even though she "liked them all".
Celia told The Guardian newspaper: "Kate (Garraway) and I had to go on that Uncloaked thing after. She turned to me and she said: 'Oh, but Celia, we're now all one big happy family, aren't we?'
"I said: 'Well, frankly, I don't want to see any of them ever again in the whole of my life', and everybody laughed.
"But truthfully, we haven't really run into each other since. Nevertheless, I liked them all."
Celia, a Faithful who was 'murdered' after correctly suspecting that eventual winner Alan Carr was a Traitor, has been fascinated to see the "herd mentality" of the contestants when watching the programme from a different perspective.
The Bridget Jones star said: "I'm fascinated to watch it now, because at a distance, I can see how people follow each other. That herd mentality is very evident at the round table, but I always went in a different direction and people didn't follow me.
"Then, of course, I accused Alan at the end: 'I think you are one, aren't you?', so I had to go the next day. I didn't quite know what I was letting myself in for, but I had a great time."
Celia's most memorable moment on The Celebrity Traitors came when she let out a nervous fart while locked in a wooden cabin, although she stressed recently that she doesn't want to be "defined" by her flatulence.
She told The Times newspaper: "I am guilty of doing anything for a laugh, but I didn't mean to fart.
"I was nervous. I can't believe it became such a huge thing and I don't want to be defined by it."
The Thursday Murder Club star also revealed that taking part in the show had won her a new legion of young fans.
Imrie said: "It's hard always being on, keeping the brain working, but I'm pleased I did it, especially because I have a whole new fan base, lots of younger people."
