Sharp-eyed fans of Celebrity Traitors have uncovered what they believe was a major spoiler casually dropped by host Claudia Winkleman during the latest series - and astonishingly, nobody spotted it at the time.
The moment occurred during an episode featuring musician Cat Burns, where Winkleman's seemingly innocent choice of words may have revealed Burns' status in the game long before it was officially announced.
The Tell-Tale Moment
According to eagle-eyed viewers who revisited the episode, Claudia used specific phrasing when addressing the singer-songwriter that subtly indicated whether she was a faithful or a traitor. The clue was so cleverly woven into casual conversation that it completely bypassed both the contestants and the audience watching live.
"I can't believe we all missed it," one fan commented online. "Claudia basically told us exactly what was going to happen, but she's so masterful at what she does that it just sounded like normal conversation."
Social Media Reaction
Since the discovery went viral on social media platforms, fans have been sharing their disbelief at how the hint slipped past everyone. Many are praising Winkleman's skill at delivering such subtle clues while maintaining the show's signature suspense.
"This is why Claudia is the perfect host," tweeted one viewer. "She plays the game on another level entirely. Even when she's giving things away, we're none the wiser until it's too late."
The Art of the Spoiler
This isn't the first time Winkleman has been accused of planting subtle clues throughout the series. Regular viewers have noted that the presenter often uses specific language and mannerisms that, in hindsight, reveal more than initially apparent.
The discovery has sparked renewed interest in re-watching previous episodes to uncover what other secrets might have been hiding in plain sight throughout the series.
