Tension was high on the latest episode of The Traitors, but no one could have predicted that the biggest plot twist of the night would come from Celia Imrie — and not from the show’s traitorous scheming.
The veteran actress, known for her wit and grace, had everyone roaring with laughter after an unexpectedly human (and hilarious) moment.
When Nerves Took Over
During a particularly nerve-wracking challenge, host Claudia Winkleman gathered the celebrities inside her eerie wooden cabin to explain their task.
As the suspense built, Celia appeared visibly anxious — and suddenly, an unmistakable sound broke the silence. She had accidentally let one slip.
Without missing a beat, Celia burst into laughter and quickly confessed, “I just farted, Claudia! I’m so sorry, it’s nerves — I always own up!”
Her honesty sent her fellow contestants into fits of uncontrollable giggles, completely breaking the spooky tension that Claudia had so carefully created.
Viewers Crown Celia a Legend
Fans at home couldn’t get enough of the moment.
Within minutes, X (formerly Twitter) lit up with reactions celebrating Celia’s quick wit and charm.
Viewers hailed her as a “national treasure” and praised her for “owning her fart like it’s a BAFTA moment.”
One fan even joked that the scene was “up there with the moon landing and Who Shot JR?”
Another wrote, “Celia Imrie farting in a room full of celebrities is pure TV gold!”
The internet collectively agreed — this was one of the funniest and most iconic moments in The Traitors history.
Laughter Inside and Outside the Cabin
Even her co-stars couldn’t resist joining in on the fun.
Alan Carr, ever the comedian, quipped, “Hurry up, she’s going to blow again!” as the group continued the challenge, trying to find keys to free their locked-up teammates.
What could have been a tense or awkward moment turned into pure comedy thanks to Celia’s candidness and ability to laugh at herself — proving once again why she’s adored by so many.
Drama Continues Amid the Laughter
While Celia’s comic timing stole the spotlight, the game itself didn’t stop for long.
Later in the episode, Niko became the second celebrity to be eliminated after receiving more than half the votes at the round table.
Kate Garraway, who narrowly escaped eviction, admitted she was shocked by how quickly alliances shifted, saying, “I was mortified everyone turned against me. My kids like Niko — I’m sad he’s gone.”
Celia, still riding her wave of honesty, remarked bluntly, “Whoever these Traitors are, they’re f***ing brilliant.”
The Traitors Plot Their Next Move
After lights out, the remaining traitors — Alan Carr, Jonathan Ross, and Cat Burns — gathered to decide who to “kill” next.
Determined to make a bold move, they chose Olympic diver Tom Daley.
Jonathan joked, “Gold medals don’t count as shields, do they?”
When Tom discovered his fate, he handled it like a champ, laughing, “Well, that didn’t take long, did it? Guess I’ll go do one final dive — into my grave.”
Another Round of Suspense
The next morning, confusion spread when Tom failed to appear at breakfast.
Speculation ran wild as the faithful players tried to figure out who among them was responsible.
By the end of the episode, another emotional round table saw Tameka voted out — only for her to reveal she was innocent.
Jonathan, one of the traitors, could barely contain his relief, admitting, “I am the luckiest Traitor in the land.”
Mark, who had pushed for Tameka’s elimination, looked devastated and offered a heartfelt apology.
What’s Next for The Traitors?
After a night of unexpected comedy, shocking eliminations, and dramatic twists, fans are already counting down to the next episode.
If one thing’s for sure, it’s that Celia Imrie’s unforgettable “nervous moment” will go down as one of the funniest — and most talked-about — scenes in reality TV history.
