Panellist Phil Wang opened the show with a mock Round Table vote, holding up a banishment slip reading 'Ahmoll'. Amol Rajan, 43, shot back: 'What is traitorous is not spelling my name correctly!'

Ian Hislop quipped: 'He's not going to know what they do on the show, he was on it for five minutes!'

Rajan was the first star murdered after losing a head-to-head with comedian James Acaster.
