Celia Imrie Makes BBC Audience Laugh and Steals Spotlight During Celebrity Traitors Cabin Challenge in London

Celia Imrie had viewers—and her fellow Traitors—in stitches on Wednesday night’s BBC show when nerves got the better of her in a way that no one saw coming.

The 73-year-old actress accidentally passed wind during one of the show’s most suspenseful challenges, instantly shattering the spooky atmosphere with laughter.

The Cabin Challenge Goes Sideways

Half the stars were locked inside a creaky wooden cabin orchestrated by host Claudia Winkleman, tasked with a tense challenge that had everyone on edge.

As Claudia arrived to explain the rules, Celia visibly fidgeted—and then, in a moment of pure human comedy, let one slip.

“I just farted Claudia, I’m so sorry, it’s nerves, I always own up!” Celia admitted, breaking the tension immediately.

Her co-stars couldn’t contain themselves, and the laughter that erupted turned a suspenseful scene into an unforgettable comedic highlight.

Fans Celebrate Celia’s Legendary Moment

The clip quickly went viral, with fans flocking to X (formerly Twitter) to praise Celia for her candidness and charm.

Comments poured in calling it “TV gold” and comparing her boldness to historic moments:

  • “Celia Imrie farting in a room full of celebrities is TV gold; Celia Imrie owning her fart like it’s a BAFTA moment. Queen behaviour.”

  • “Celia Imrie farting on Celebrity Traitors has to be one of the highlights of the TV year; Sorry but howling at Celia letting out a nervous fart.”

  • “Historic television. Up there with the moon landings and ‘Who shot JR?’”

It seems that no one can resist a combination of suspense, celebrity, and unexpected bodily humor—and Celia delivered it flawlessly.

Challenges, Votes, and Drama Continue

While Celia stole the comedy spotlight, the tension of the game didn’t disappear.

The cabin challenge required celebrities to find keys to free their co-stars, and Alan Carr couldn’t resist a joke:

“Hurry up, she’s going to blow, she’s going to fart again,” he quipped, keeping the mood light amid the high stakes.

Elsewhere, Niko became the second star to be voted off, with more than half of the celebrities turning against him at the round table.

Kate Garraway, who narrowly avoided elimination, admitted she was shocked:

“I was so mortified everyone turned against me. I’ve watched a lot of Niko, my kids like him, I’m sad he’s gone.”

Celia added her praise for the competition:

“Whoever these Traitors are, they are f***ing brilliant.”

Traitors Strike Under the Cover of Night

As night fell, the Traitors—Alan Carr, Jonathan Ross, and Cat Burns—met in secret to decide their next “victim.”

Their target? Tom Daley. Jonathan Ross joked about the plan, keeping it tongue-in-cheek:

“Maybe we could steal the blame to someone else, gold medals don’t count as shields do they?”

After being eliminated, Tom quipped:

“Well that didn’t take long did it, I think I was murdered because I was seen as a threat, so I better go do one final dive into my grave.”

The remaining contestants were left scratching their heads at breakfast, asking simply: “Why Tom?”

Another Shocking Twist at the Round Table

The episode wrapped with yet another round table vote, this time sending Tameka home.

She revealed herself as a Faithful, much to the disappointment of Mark, who had led the vote against her:

“I am the luckiest Traitor in the land, I only just got away with that,” Jonathan Ross celebrated, while Mark apologised for mistakenly voting Tameka out, visibly upset.

Between Celia’s unforgettable moment and the ongoing scheming of the Traitors, Wednesday night’s episode was a rollercoaster of laughter, tension, and shocking twists, leaving fans eagerly awaiting what will happen next.
