Spoiler warning: This article reveals details from the third episode of The Celebrity Traitors, series two.
We normally expect raised voices, conflicting theories and a dramatic showdown from the Celebrity Traitors. But as this year's first round table got under way, the writing was on the castle wall.
Viewers who often get frustrated with the faithful and root for them to uncover a traitor had their wish firmly Richard E Grant-ed on Thursday, as the actor was banished in a landslide vote.
His questionable strategy of revealing he was a traitor to the other celebrities in the bar led to the first time in the UK version of the show that a traitor has been identified at the opening round table.
"Thank you for giving me an almost bingo full-house of votes," Grant told his fellow players. "I have always wanted to be a traitor, and sometimes in life your dreams do come true."
There was jubilation from the other celebrities as Grant confirmed his identity, waving his hands in the air. Ross Kemp was so happy it came out as borderline anger, with a vein-popping "get in there!"
Other players seemed genuinely shocked. "This is me with men all the time," joked comedian Joanne McNally, who hadn't voted for Grant. "I completely believed him!"
But although the faithful had successfully found a traitor, and even managed to spell his name correctly on their slates, the first round table saw some other players behave in ways that immediately aroused suspicion.

Julie Hesmondhalgh noticed Myha'la ostentatiously winking at Grant before she voted for him, which later prompted the former Coronation Street actress to make one of the most impassioned - but mistaken - speeches of the night.
"It was traitor-on-traitor," she declared (it wasn't). "I don't know if anybody else saw it," (we did). "I am so excited because I truly believe we can get two in a row," (don't count on it).

The remaining traitors, Maya Jama and James Acaster, met in the turret later with the choice of murdering previously shortlisted players Jerry Hall and Hannah Fry, or seducing a third traitor to replace Grant.
The pair ultimately decided to recruit mathematician Fry, who had the most wonderful and meme-able reaction when she found out that, not only was she not being murdered, she was being seduced.
Accepting the offer, Fry joined Jama and Acaster in the turret, exclaiming as she learned their identities: "I had both of you down as faithful!"
The new trio discussed how they would approach breakfast the next morning, before Acaster delivered the line of the episode.
"It's changing a lot, this Traitors," he observed of the fluid line-up. "It's like the Sugababes."
