Celebrity Traitors 2026 Winners Revealed: How the Faithfuls Won the Final

SPOILER WARNING: This article reveals the result and major eliminations from the Friday 30 October 2026 final of The Celebrity Traitors.

The Faithfuls have pulled off a dramatic victory in the second series of The Celebrity Traitors. Comedian Romesh Ranganathan and actor Sebastian Croft were the final two contestants standing at the firepit, securing the £83,000 charity prize after a tense endgame packed with suspicion, shifting alliances and last-minute banishments.

Who won The Celebrity Traitors 2026?

Romesh Ranganathan and Sebastian Croft, known to fellow contestants as Bash, won as Faithfuls. They chose to end the game after eliminating the remaining Traitors, allowing them to share the prize fund equally.

According to reports following the BBC broadcast, Croft plans to donate his £41,500 share to Choose Love, while Ranganathan's half is going to the Refugee Council. That gives the dramatic television finish a tangible charitable outcome.

How did the final unravel for the Traitors?

The finale began with the remaining Traitors, Maya Jama and social media star King Kenny, still in contention. Actor Michael Sheen was murdered before the last roundtable, narrowing the field as the players tried to work out who was deceiving them.

Jama was banished at the final roundtable. The game then moved to the firepit, where contestants repeatedly opted to continue banishing rather than end the contest. Former Little Mix singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock was eliminated, followed by a dramatic split vote involving James Blunt and Kenny.

With the decision deadlocked, Croft and Ranganathan were asked to settle the choice and Kenny was banished. The final twist came when Blunt also left, despite being a Faithful, leaving only Croft and Ranganathan to confirm their identities and claim the win.

Why the ending was so tense

The format rewards players who correctly identify every Traitor, but punishes misplaced trust. By the final minutes, every decision carried a risk: ending the game too early could hand victory to a Traitor, while continuing to banish could send home an innocent Faithful.

That dilemma is what made the final two contestants' decision so satisfying for viewers who had followed the shifting suspicions across the series. The pair had to be confident not only about the people they removed, but also about each other.

What about Maya Jama and James Blunt?

Jama reached the last roundtable as a Traitor but was voted out before the firepit endgame. Blunt survived deep into the final, only to be eliminated when the remaining players continued to question one another's loyalty. Both were central to the episode's late twists.
