The Celebrity Traitors episode seven: the yawning task reaches its conclusion

The Guardian is live-blogging the seventh episode of the second series of The Celebrity Traitors, the BBC reality show made by Studio Lambert. In the programme, celebrities live in a castle: some are secret "traitors", while the rest are "faithfuls" who must work out who is deceiving them. Host Maya Jama is among the traitors this series.

Before the new episode, the blogger recalled that comedian Joe Lycett left the show on Friday. His time in the castle included several unexpected moves: he prompted Richard E Grant to admit being a traitor, later said he wanted to be recruited, and, when that did not happen, the others assumed he had been recruited anyway and banished him.

The blogger also listed the current standings. The traitors are Maya Jama, James Acaster and King Kenny. The faithfuls are Jerry Hall, Ross Kemp, Miranda Hart, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Romesh Ranganathan, Michael Sheen, Sebastian Croft, Sharon Rooney, Joanne McNally and James Blunt.

The previous episode ended with a task in which Jama and Acaster deliberately tried to bore Hall and Kemp, hoping one of them would yawn and so be eliminated from the game. Press whispers suggest this is the task where things could go wrong, and the episode's edit hinted that Kemp may have worked out the idea behind the game. How it plays out will become clear once the episode airs; the live coverage starts at 8pm.
