Talk Of The Townsends

James Blunt wanted one more banishment. Unfortunately, it was his own. Hannah and Benedict unpack the Celebrity Traitors finale, including Maya’s parting words and a very tense finish around the fire.
They discuss Bash’s detective work, Romesh’s crucial change of heart and the decision that ended King Kenny’s game. The man the Traitors kept deciding not to murder turned out to be rather important.
Plus, their verdict on the winners, some end-of-series awards and why next year’s castle needs a wider mix of celebrities. Ideally, Dick and Dom.
