After discovering his fate on Friday’s episode, University Challenge presenter Rajan said: “It’s over, it’s good to be the first out, but James is a fantastic player, and I think people don’t suspect him, and they can suspect me.”
After being seduced, Acaster said, “I can’t believe I’m a traitor, I’m good at not being loyal anymore, I don’t like lying, but if I don’t join, they’ll kill me.”
During the episode, the stars were given their second mission, which involved them coming in pairs. They were then all buried alive, except Ross Kemp, whom the traitors chose to protect, and Romesh Ranganathan, with whom he had conspired.
All celebrities bar Hannah Fry and Jerry Hall were acquitted, with the latter shouting “Haggis”, thus putting himself and Hannah on the murder shortlist.
With the first round table to connect, the celebrities came desperate to find out who the traitors are. For Little Mix singer Leigh-Anne, she was a popular topic of conversation.
During the first two episodes, others suspected her of being suspicious because of her touching up her makeup before leaving the castle at night.

However, the viewers were upset about the “unfair accusation”. On X, one viewer wrote: “Yeah sorry but I always touch up my make up because I have oily skin, justice for Leigh-Anne”.
Another added: “Re Leigh-Anne touching her makeup, I thought they shouldn’t use external factors in their reasoning – only things directly related to the game?” A third replied: “Leigh-Anne could be banned and I will lose it if she does”.
Another wrote: “!LEAVE LEIGH ANNE ALONE” while another added: “I’m so upset this is so unfair on Leigh-Anne.”
