Richard E Grant asked Rob Beckett if he has more teeth than a normal person on Celebrity Traitors, after accidentally admitting he was a traitor on the BBC show.
On Thursday's episode of Celebrity Traitors, actor Richard E Grant caused a stir by accidentally admitting he was a traitor, then deflected questioning from comedian Rob Beckett by asking if he has more teeth than a normal person. The incident occurred during breakfast after the first murder, leaving fans both shocked and amused.
Richard E Grant's Accidental Admission
Richard E Grant made what many are calling the biggest slip-up in show history when he openly stated he was a traitor. His co-stars were left in shock and confusion by the admission, which happened during the first episode of the BBC series.
At breakfast, Rob Beckett asked Richard to explain his bold strategy. Rob said, both of us wanted to be Traitors, and asked how Richard felt when he found out. Richard responded that he knew the slates would be 15 people. Rob then noted there would be an expectation for Richard to explain his workings as it was a bold strategy from a faithful.
Attempting to deflect, Richard asked Rob if he has more teeth than a normal person. The question left fans in hysterics and quickly became a talking point on social media.
Fan Reactions to the Teeth Question
Fans took to X to express their amusement at Richard's deflection tactic. One viewer wrote that Richard is hilarious and that asking Rob about his teeth was the funniest thing they had ever heard. Another called the question absolutely iconic.
Many fans praised Richard's quick thinking, with one commenting that they were already laughing before he asked the question. Others pleaded for Richard E Grant to stay on the show forever.
The moment added a light-hearted touch to the tense atmosphere of the game, where celebrities must identify traitors among them.
Cliffhanger Ending Leaves Fans Frustrated
Meanwhile, fans were left furious over the ridiculous cliffhanger ending on Friday night. The hit BBC show abruptly ended mid round table, just as the celebrities were debating whether Richard is faithful or not.
Tension rose between the celebrities at the first round table of the series. As they went back and forth on Richard's innocence, host Claudia Winkleman announced that the time for talk was over, and the second episode surprisingly ended.
Viewers were shocked by the massive cliffhanger, as they did not get to see the stars write who they believe is a traitor on their chalkboards. They will now have to wait six days for the next episode.
Fans expressed their frustration on social media, with one writing that they are not a fan of these cliffhanger endings and that it is ridiculous. Another complained about having to wait until next Thursday. Some pointed out that the show usually follows a format of breakfast, round table, murder cliffhanger, and questioned why it ended at the round table.
Amol Rajan's Early Exit
In the same episode, former Today programme host Amol Rajan fell at the first hurdle when he was murdered by Richard and Maya Jama. Viewers had waited 24 hours to see if he or podcaster James Acaster would be chosen by Richard and Maya to be the third traitor, but on Friday, fans saw that it was Amol who lost out.
Speaking after his shock exit, Amol admitted that he is grieving being kicked off so early. He called it an absolutely unforgettable ride of a lifetime and said there is an unhappy contrast right now because he is grieving what might have been. He added that in time he will look on this as one of the greatest privileges of his life.
Host Claudia was seen pacing back and forth before slamming the coffin shut on the broadcaster, meaning he is the first player to be eliminated. He told the camera that it is game over and that it is gutting to be the first out, but James is a fantastic player and people are not going to suspect him. He said maybe he was a little bit foolish with Richard, but he ended up in the chapel with a nearly 50/50 chance to join their club. He concluded that games are games, there have to be losers, and he loved the ride.
Television's most deceitful game show returned and yet again proved to be a smash hit with viewers.
