The finale of The Celebrity Traitors left viewers on a cliffhanger, with journalist Amol Rajan becoming the latest victim.

James himself admitted to being 'gutted' about becoming a traitor but felt compelled to join to survive.

The series, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, features 21 celebrities playing for a charity prize of up to £100,000.
