Celebrity Traitors winner predicts chaos as James Acaster unravels in final

Chaos is poised to erupt in the final episodes of Celebrity Traitors, according to former winner Rachel Duffy, who warns that comedian James Acaster is on the verge of cracking under the pressure. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror ^[1], Duffy stated that while she expects a Traitors victory, the trio will likely be broken up, leaving only one standing at the firepit. She noted, "Something's niggling in the back of my mind that James Acaster is going to unravel."

Duffy, who triumphed in series four alongside Stephen Libby, described the current game as a "rollercoaster" where the endgame is tighter than ever. She believes Maya Jama embodies the perfect Traitor, being "cool, calm, and collected," but cautioned that the dynamic between the three remaining villains is fragile. "I can feel a storm coming; something very chaotic coming that we might not have predicted," Duffy told the Daily Star's sister title ^[1].

Meanwhile, Miranda Hart has opened up about her recent elimination, revealing a strategic regret that may have cost her place in the finale. Speaking on This Morning, as reported by the Daily Star ^[2], the 53-year-old admitted she would not have proposed her "bouncing floor theory" regarding Maya Jama. Hart had noticed floorboards shifting during a blindfold challenge but incorrectly suspected Joanne McNally. "I forgot that I might get murdered because I was thinking... I've got tomorrow to convince them," Hart said, acknowledging she was too focused on persuasion rather than survival.

The BBC programme ^[2] continues its final stretch with fans expressing heartbreak over Hart's exit. While Duffy watches from the sidelines, she is applying her castle tactics to real life, advising Brits to identify allies and limit choices when booking group holidays. For those hoping to see her return, Duffy confirmed she would play a Faithful in an All Stars series, viewing it as the ultimate challenge after winning as a Traitor.
