“I’ve got no idea what everyone’s doing wrong. I cannot believe you’ve done it again,” the chat show host said.
“I cannot believe that I’m standing here for no good reason, so I don’t want to be rude, but you’re idiots,” he went on.
“I am now, and I have been all through the game completely Faithful…” he said, sparking looks of despair among the other players, before concluding his speech: “…to the traitors.”

The green suit jacket wearing, sunglasses loving, Jonathan Ross is out.
For entertainment reporter Indigo Stafford, it was another sign of just how “ruthless” the Traitors can be.
“The Traitors’ alliance fell apart! What a dramatic episode,” she said.
But speaking to the cameras afterwards, Ross was magnanimous in accepting his defeat.
“I’m kind of relieved and I’m glad Alan went for me as well,” he said.
“I’m hoping they will stick together and romp off to victory.”
Speaking later on the Celebrity Traitors Uncloaked podcast, Ross added that the ideal strategy for a traitor was “don’t be too loud, don’t be too quiet. That’s why Alan and Cat are playing such a brilliant game.”
