In the first episode of the U.K. reality competition reality series, Grant was chosen as one of the first two Traitors, along with “Love Island” host Maya Jama. But then shortly after being chosen as a Traitor, Grant revealed his role to a room full of other competitors.
When asked about his status, Grant blurted out that he was a Traitor to several contestants, who appeared to be shocked. “What’s the point in being in the game if you’re not?” Grant asked rhetorically. (You can watch this scene on X as tweeted by U.K. TV journalist and Variety contributor Scott Bryan.)
Comedian Joe Lycett encouraged Grant to back down from the statement and reassure everyone he was a Faithful making a joke. “I think you’ve done something that’s never been done in the game,” he said. “It’s a bold strategy.”
Grant also said he was “absolutely convinced” he would be going home. But model and actress Jerry Hall did not believe him. “I’ve known him for over 30 years, and he says and does eccentric things,” she said. “I think he is acting out because he hasn’t been chosen.”
The celebs are competing to weed out the murderous Traitors among them for a cash prize of £100,000 for a charity of their choice in Ardross Castle in the Highlands. The first season of “The Celebrity Traitors” aired in October 2025, and later streamed in the U.S. on Peacock.
