The second series of The Celebrity Traitors reached its climax on Friday, with the 21 original contestants having been reduced to seven before the final. They were then whittled down to two winners - with the faithful duo of comedian Romesh Ranganathan and Heartstopper actor Sebastian "Bash" Croft emerging victorious.
The players successfully banished the remaining traitors - Love Island host Maya Jama and YouTuber King Kenny - in dramatic fashion, and the winning pair shared the £83,000 prize for their charities.

Kenny, Romesh and Bash were joined by singer James Blunt in the endgame, where the remaining contestants gather around a fire pit to decide whether they think there are any traitors left. When James and Kenny were tied in a vote for who was a traitor, Bash persuaded Romesh to banish Kenny instead of James - thereby securing victory for team faithful. I smelled the victory," Kenny seethed.
In a further twist, James chose another round of voting and was subsequently evicted himself, leaving Romesh and Bash as the last men standing. "This might actually be the best day of my life," 24-year-old Bash said through tears of joy. Romesh reflected: "I just really hope my mum's proud.
And also my youngest son Charlie, who wanted me to come on the show - dad won. Please show me some respect." The pair will split their winnings between two refugee charities, the Refugee Council and Choose Love. Earlier, actor Michael Sheen was murdered in the first action of Friday's episode.
"I am incredibly disappointed," he said. "Gutted that I got so close to the end. It's been absolutely unforgettable." When the action reached the endgame, Little Mix singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock was swiftly banished after Kenny voted to remove her.
