James Acaster reveals he confessed being a Traitor to Jerry Hall – but the moment was cut from the edit

James Acaster has revealed he admitted being a Traitor to fellow Celebrity Traitors contestant Jerry Hall – but the moment did not feature in the final broadcast.

The comedian, 41, sent shockwaves through the BBC reality series when he made an unprecedented move in the penultimate episode last week, admitting to his fellow contestants at the roundtable that he was in fact a Traitor.

Viewers had speculated that substantial amounts of footage had been edited out of the broadcast, amid a report in The Sun that filming had to be halted after Acaster became "distressed".
