But as Ed Gamble pointed out on BBC Two’s Celebrity Traitors Uncloaked, Imrie’s death was also ripe for humour.

HE accidental fart in episode three It was the gift that kept on giving.

“A fart is such a sweet sorrow,” he said, in a manner worthy of William Shakespeare, who liked to contrast dark, dramatic moments with bursts of humor.

As the show progressed, Carr clearly took pleasure in murder, capturing Paloma Faith in plain sight and giving Lucy Beaumont her death sentence.

After all the camaraderie in the challenge, it became even more difficult for the contestants to face each other at the round table; With only six people left here, everyone felt vulnerable.

Burns hoped he “didn’t give them enough to hold on to”, while Kate Garraway was uncharacteristically optimistic.

“I’m really hoping to get close to Alan and Cat so they can keep me in the game and then try to pull the rug out from under their feet at the last minute,” he said.

“I’m sorry traitors, I’m coming for you.”
