Warning: Spoilers ahead for the 8 October episode of The Celebrity Traitors.
In the latest episode of The Celebrity Traitors, fans have started to speculate about the identity of the expert Traitor Hunter, and many are delighted by the possibility of Miranda Hart taking on this role. Viewers saw the talented writer and actor correctly suspect Hannah Fry of being a Traitor, while the Traitors themselves appeared oblivious to her deductions.
As the episode concluded, Miranda reiterated her suspicions, much to the excitement of fans. One viewer noted that if she can remain discreet until the end, she could indeed become a formidable Traitor Hunter. Another fan expressed their admiration for her sharp wit, stating, “Miranda. F**king. Hart. Traitor hunter. God I love this woman.”
Discussion among fans also included playful predictions, with one suggesting “detective Miranda” might take down all the Traitors single-handedly.
Miranda’s return to television has been met with enthusiasm, and many are calling for a reboot of her sitcom Miranda, which ran from 2009 to 2013 and won several awards.
Tonight’s episode highlighted key developments, including the early banishment of Richard E Grant, who confessed to being a Traitor almost immediately. This marked a significant moment in the UK version of the show, as the Faithfuls successfully identified a Traitor at their first attempt.
As the episode wrapped up, tensions rose as Maya Jama, James Acaster, and Hannah Fry deliberated on whom to target next, narrowing it down to James Blunt, Bella Ramsey, and Sebastian ‘Bash’ Croft.
