JONATHAN Ross has revealed an unaired Celeb Traitors moment that threw the round table into chaos.
The star has been working alongside his fellow Traitor celebrities Alan Carr and Cat Burns to flip the game on its head.
And so far, Jonathan has been successful in his mission.
But he’s now confessed that he actually let slip that he was a traitor in an unaired moment.
Speaking to his daughter Honey on their podcast Reel Talk, he said: “It’s nerve-wracking watching it for me. The round tables, of course, because a lot of stuff is edited out and I’m not allowed to talk about the stuff that’s edited out, which I can understand why.
“When I started talking about it last week, they sent us all a kind of list saying, ‘Just to remind you, these are the things in your contracts you’re not allowed to talk about. So I’ll skirt around it as much as possible and not break any rules.

“But there’s a fairly comprehensive list, and most of it I can see is to protect the integrity of the game as a viewing experience for people, so it makes perfect sense.”
The radio star added: “I don’t think I particularly played the game well. Some people weren’t playing it well and I think Clare was trying to play it cleverly. She – I think – had figured me out quite clearly and more so than actually appeared on the screen.
“On the Uncloaked episode where she sees it’s my name, she goes ‘oh I was going to go for him last night’ – because I’d actually said something to her the night before which I think made her think it was me. And that wasn’t in the show because it didn’t lead to the roundtable but I think she was fairly confident it was me.”
He added: “So you can imagine how delighted I was when she put Charlotte’s name down. She was doing it smart, because she knew she didn’t have enough people to support my claim yet and if I say him and he is a Traitor, he may well murder me, so I’ll do this and then maybe keep me closer and get rid of me the next time.”
It comes as fans think they’ve spotted a ‘real life feud’ between Jonathan and one of his co-stars.
At the roundtable on Thursday night, Joe doubled down on his theory about Jonathan and voted for him to be banished.
There was a back and forth of words between the rugby player and radio star as Jonathan attempted to convince Joe that he wasn’t a traitor.
But some Celeb Traitors fans fear that the feud runs deeper than the show.
Speculating that there could be a secret feud going on between the pair, one person wrote: “Joe looked absolutely furious. Great stuff. I think he actively hates Jonathan.”
Another said: “Starting to see why Jonathan has been giving interviews saying he didn’t enjoy the pressure as the show went on. Imagine that version of Joe gunning straight for you.”
A third penned: “They definitely edited out some of the “unsportsmanlike” and hostile conversation at the roundtable I think.”
Another wrote: “Convinced Joe Marler hates everyone there.”
Someone else echoed: “Joe Marler hates all these people,” and another penned: “Joe is out for Jonathan’s blood! Maybe they murdered the wrong Joe?!”
Star’s truth
It comes as Jonathan, 64, said he was still reeling from having to be a Traitor on the BBC One contest as it meant lying to his showbiz buddies.
He said: “I know they’re already planning a second celebrity version.
“I know because I’ve had two celebrity friends of mine call me and say ‘I’ve been approached — is it good to do, is it bad to do?’ So I’m giving them the benefit of my experience, which was I didn’t enjoy it.”
Jonathan filmed the show five months ago at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands.
As well as Jonathan and Joe’s supposed ‘secret feud,’ there was also attention on Stephen Fry and David Olusoga’s relationship recently.
According to the Mail, the two celebs fell out during filming, with a source telling the publication: “They were so invested in the game, and it really showed during their debates.
“The discussions between them are unlikely to be shown on Celebrity Traitors, as producers felt they didn’t follow the narrative.”
But the BBC said these claims were false, and a spokesperson told the Metro: “To claim there was any tension between Stephen Fry and David Olusoga outside of the game is simply untrue.”
