On October 16, 2025, British actress Celia Imrie, known for her roles in Bridget Jones and Mamma Mia!

During a challenge, Imrie passed wind, much to the amusement of her fellow castmates, including Dept. Q star Mark Bonnar.
"I'm so sorry," Imrie exclaimed. "It's nerves, but I always own up." The audible fart caused the other contestants to burst out laughing, creating one of the most memorable TV moments of the year.
The incident appears to have had a positive impact on the show's viewership. The October 16th episode of The Celebrity Traitors reached a series high of 6.9 million viewers, a 900,000 increase from the premiere episode the previous week. While this figure fell short of the show's best-ever overnight audience of 7.4 million in January, it suggests the series could continue to break records as it progresses.
