Actress Sharon Rooney has been murdered and comedian Joanne McNally has been banished in the penultimate episode of The Celebrity Traitors.

Rooney found out she had been murdered after McNally was banished at the roundtable, where both contestants attracted heat, with the traitors, social media star King Kenny, TV presenter Maya Jama and comedian James Acaster, killing Rooney to create confusion among the faithfuls.

After finding out she had been murdered on the BBC reality gameshow, Rooney said: “I think this was Maya Jama, I think that is her love heart and her kisses.”

McNally was voted out after King Kenny held the final and deciding vote, as well as the special power of a double dagger giving him the two votes at the roundtable, and opted to banish her.

After her fate was decided, McNally said: “I’ve had such an amazing time with all of you, it’s been one of the best experiences of my adult life, I actually feel emotional…

“It has been amazing, thanks so much for all making it what it was, I’m premenstrual.

“I’ve had such a great time, I am a hardcore faithful.”

During Thursday’s show, Jama attracted heat when she toasted her fellow contestants by saying: “To killing them, banishing them even.”

For the mission, the celebrities were tasked with matching the severed ‘heads’ of celebrities who had left the show with their buried bodies, with teams splitting into one in the lab, where the heads were, and one in the garden where the bodies were.

Those in the lab had to relay screams to their contestants in the garden in order to match the head and bodies.
