Richard E. Grant has made his second Celebrity Traitors blunder on Traitors Time Tonight, and he has now turned the slip into a joke on Heart Radio. The actor said he has "voodoo dolls of the lot of them now" after telling fellow contestants that he is a Traitor.
Heart Radio and the slip
Grant said on Heart Radio that when Joe Lycett asked whether he was a Faithful or a Traitor, he answered, "I'm a Traitor". He then followed that with, "What's the point in being in the game if you're not one?"
The exchange matters because it is not just a private mistake inside The Celebrity Traitors. Grant has now repeated the admission in public, and that keeps the on-screen error alive in front of viewers who are already watching for signs that he has blown his cover.
Joe Lycett asked twice
Grant said, "I thought that when Joe Lycett asked me, ‘Are you a Traitor?’ and I said, ‘Yes, I’m a Traitor’, I didn’t for a nanosecond think that he would actually believe it." He also said, "I have no recollection of this," before adding, "Yes, I am!" when describing the second time Lycett asked him.
He framed the moment as if it should have triggered group support rather than suspicion, saying, "I thought it was going to be like Spartacus, where somebody would say, ‘I’m a Traitor, you’re a Traitor’. No such support." That is the complication now: Grant insists the comment was not meant to be taken at face value, but the public reaction around the interview treats it as more evidence that he is digging a deeper hole.
Classic FM follow-up
On Classic FM, Grant said, "I have a tendency to get to the punchline too quickly sometimes." That line tracks with the way he has handled the game so far: direct, loose-lipped, and willing to make his own mistake the subject of the next interview.
Fans commenting on Instagram said the interview cements the idea that he will be banished, and others said he is out. Whether that happens is not answered in the source, but the pattern is plain enough: every fresh comment now becomes part of the case against him, and Traitors Time Tonight has turned into a running test of how long that cover can hold.
